That rear end makes me think Renault Fuego.
Makes me think more of an Interceptor. Looks brilliant
It's very 'concept car', certainly striking

Saw a new one for me on the M1 today, a Lexus GSF, a big Lexus barge with a 5.0 V8 and quad exhaust. I cannot put into words how much I now want one.

I literally saw one of these on the M25 last night. The first thing I thought was "that's a bit throaty for a Lexus".

Now I know why!

I agree with you, I like the smaller brother.

VW Routan



Basically a badge engineered Chrysler Voyager.

Truly bizarre thing.

I saw one charging at the Tesla Supercharger at ICA Maxi, Haninge, two weeks ago. There's a dealership in Segeltorp I think. The thing that struck me was the sheer size of the thing. They are MASSIVE!

It's still shorter than a LWB Cullinan and an EWB Bentayga.

Shame on you VW! Surely the lowest ebb of badge engineering - a VW Hillman Avenger (or Dodge 1500 as it was known in the region), the 1500 Argentina, saloon and estate

I quite like the fact the Orion becomes the Apollo. It's like those knock off products in Aldi where they pick a name that's related to the product they are knocking off.

(One Greek legend is that Apollo tricked Artemis into shooting Orion, with Artemis then placing Orion's body into the heavens as the constellation we see)

Full agreement, as per my last page OP. Mind, CJS Racing stated the rear reminded him of the Fuego. Just watching a Car SOS with a Espada being the project. Tim, when first seeing it listed numerous cars it reminded him of, one was the Fuego.
