So you fall into one of two categories then?

White hair, cataracts and an inability to go more that 35kph ( even on the state highway) or you've given up on life and are absolutely suicidal and determined to take as many people with you rofl

I dont stereotype Spacio drivers too much lol

OT I take no offence and totally get your point smile Bought it as my mom's first car - she started driving at 61. Had much worse cars over the years, though. Chevrolet HHR, for example, was utterly dreadful. The Spacio has a couple of good points, aside from excellent practicality - it resists understeer well, and the combination of 4A engine and slim-shifting autobox works nicely within city speed limits. Nimble little car, kinda grew up to it.

Ladies and gentlemen i present to you probably the maddest car ever!

Just imagine the insurance needed for this in case of a rear end shunt. On the other hand we would all drive with a bit more care!!

I thought that they had made two of these but both with a normal engine as rigs but wiki seems to disagree. Either way to be fair they ngr actually had the reactor version working on roads but just imagine.

Found myself behind one of these today, a Honda Mobilio, never heard of it before, but can only assume its a JDM import. Very odd looking thing with loads of glass and a very low waistline. Its not often I spot something on the road that I couldn't name, but this one had me stumped. At least its different smile

That's the modern equivalent of the PT Cruiser soft top.

Truly awful.

I can't even work out who that is aimed at. Blind people can't drive so the only likely customers are out.

I have seen one in the wild as there is an owner near where I live. All I can say is that it photographs very well because in reality it is even more ridiculous to look at.

Driving around button on Trent last week I saw two Vauxhall convertibles I never knew existed. Both brand new and very good looking to these eyes. I mean really very handsome.

Who knew? Why aren't they pushing this? R am I living under a rock

They do look very practical, almost a 4 seat version of the Nissan S-cargo.

Speccing up a Camaro on the Chevrolet website (just for fun) and came across this - a Chevrolet Cruze Station Wagon.

No prices quoted on the website so presumably the stocks have run out in led up to Chevy's withdrawal.

Sold as a Holden in NZ/Aus, and made by Daewoo IIRC. Pretty uninspiring all round from what I've heard.
