I like it, most of their current range is overly bland so good to have something a bit different. Will probably be popular judging on the success on cars like the Nissan Juke.

That is exactly what it is Toyota's response to the Juke

It's bigger than that, apparently aimed at the Qashqai but it's no painting from the front either


Inspired by the Renault Captur?

Actually dont mind the front as much as the back. Looks like its trying to be modern.

[ATTAK Z]

it's more of a Joke than the Juke

[SirSquidalot]

I prefer the Mazda CX7.

I didn't knew they were existing until I saw one near Toyota's European HQ in Brussels:



Toyota Century V12 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Century
In contrast to other luxurious cars (such as the Maybach or Rolls-Royce), the Century has not been positioned and marketed as a sign of wealth or excess. Marketing literature states roughly that, "the Century is acquired through persistent work, the kind that is done in a plain but formal suit."

Japanese old money - with dedicated V12 engine!

A friend of mine took some snaps of one of these when they were in Tokyo last year - they are ENORMOUS, and I badly want one.

Quality can be poor.

Much better.

Have we had this yet? Alfa 156 Crosswagon - only heard of it today, and I've been driving Alfas for 16 years now.

[Hugo a Gogo]

did they do any 4x4 156s in the UK?

there was a Q4 sportwagon and crosswagon

Local Toyota dealer put the picture on Facebook and I haven't a clue what this ugly ass thing is.

Christ on a bike, that's worse than the new Civic, and that's hideous!

Its not as bad as the new Prius! Still, its all better than the shockingly bland st of the last 20 years (roughly)

[ZesPak]

I quite like that toyota, doesn't look like it takes itself too serious .

On the other hand, saw this the other day:



At first I thought it was a BMW rear end. (not a compliment)

Had never seen one.

As for the 156 crossover, seen a couple. Still very rare though!

Drove several of these last weekend - I like them although the massive screen rising out of the dash is a bit distracting

Top, visually pleasing quality*

It is amusing how looks can polarise opinion on cars, I wouldn't drive this car through choice but if it were that or that Ford Fiesta 4x4 thing, I know where I'd be going.

Saw a Volvo S60 Cross Country today, a strange looking thing, a saloon crossover.

Audi Q2, looks the same as Q3, but with a different coloured panel on the rear quarter.

That Q2 looks like it has been specced within an inch of it's life. The standard fayre for these is big old contrasting bumpers and small wheels. I don't think it's going to last long when you throw in how low spec the base models are.

Looks nothing like a Q3.

I'd recommend Specsavers.

This might be the closest to a 'basic' Q2. Small alloys, black trim.
