And digital tachometer below the radio. Plus Maxi doorhandles for the win.

I saw a DR branded SUV today (I'm in Slovenia). Not a brand I'd heard of before.

Opel GT shooting brake. It's a conversion and I hadn't seen it, so I'm posting it here to duck out of posting it in the decently modified/badly modified thread

Reminds me of this monstrosity I spotted (at Pontins in Camber Sands of all places)





A 1 of 3 V8 "Sportsman" conversion by Aston Martin themselves. This one sold for £350k in 2017 - should have gone to Specsavers...

DR are an Italian company that rebadged Cherry cars from China. Was it similar to this?

It was the same, assist from being black.
I guessed it was Chinese.

why are they just trying to copy european supercars now it's a bit pathetic

[21st Century Man]

How is that an estate anyway? It's just a tiny hatchback with a few inches of room where there's a bit of a hump in the tailgate. If that's an estate a 3dr Aygo is an Artic.

In most of the world, the mk3 Fiat Punto (launched in 2005) died in 2018. In India, it was updated and lived on.

That thing has been going a while, I had when it first came out. Scored a 5 star NCAP rating when launched, at the end of its Euro life it could only score a 1, not because it was bad in a crash but because it lacked the active safety kit of modern rivals.

Thanks for posting those photos, but to be honest I think the original Fiat version looked better than any of them!

Gona raise you with the Fiat Avventura Abarth. I'm not ashamed to say I kinda like it.

I've fallen down a bit of a Fiat sized rabbit hole, there's all sorts around the world.

Fiat Fastback

Found a page in English with decent details on it https://moparinsiders.com/fiat-brazil-introduces-i.... It seems similar to the Renault Arkana or Peugeot 408 we get here now, but without the hybrid/EV drive, just a 1.0 or 1.3 turbo.
