Cars you never knew existed until recently...

[Northernchimp]

Vauxhall Mokka & Cascade. Both utterly pointless.

[dmitry]

There are many sorts of weird sedans for Russia, Latin America and Asian countries.







Peugeot 408, which is actually a 308 sedan


Renault Fluence

[N3vins]

Suzuki kizashi. Saw one for the first time last week, it looks great and was on a 61 plate so must have been around a little while. Sorry I cant upload a picture using the iPad but its worth a google

[sebhaque]

Audi S3 5dr (only thought they did 3dr versions):


Maybe I don't see enough school run mum traffic but I had no idea Vauxhall made a coffee:

(Vauxhall Mokka)

And whatever the hell this thing is:

[backwoodsman]

Ford Focus CC, I had no idea, until a few weeks ago, and I saw a Polish registered one in a petrol station.

[Art0ir]

Honda Beat. Last car to be signed off by Mr. Honda himself.

Mid-engined 650cc, 63bhp at 8100rpm and 760kg

[wiliferus]

It's possible I have been living under a rock, but saw a 3 series GT on the M4 today, a 335i GT to be precise. I had to do a double take as though the GT style was limited to the 5 series. It's no prettier.

I didn't know these existed until I saw one in Asdas carpark last week...



I wish I was still ignorant to them.

This appeared at the bottom of the ebay page for the "200 mph MR2"

Weird JDM car presumably.

That's one of the biggest pieces of sh*t it's ever been my misfortune to drive. We got one as a hire car in Ireland once. Absolute pile of poo.

[Gun]

Didn't know there was a convertible version of the current Golf GTi until I saw one at the local VW dealers this morning.

Edit: Not the current, think it's the previous shape.

They're only just out aren't they?

There's a 320d parked in my street with X-drive badges. I had no idea that BMW were producing 4wd versions of its saloons.

They've been producing 4wd drive saloons for LHD Europe for quite a while, they have only started making RHD ones quite recently.

I found out this morning about the Alpina B8. Can't believe i didn't know this existed, 4.6l v8 in an e36 shell.



I want one now!

Old thread resurected, but this car genuinely surprised me...

Suzuki Kizashi - one went shooting past me on the motorway. Had to Google "Suzuki Saloon" as had no idea what it was.

It looked fab though, but looks like some pretty horrific depreciation looking at the What Car new price!

Look at dem exhausts!
