Not sure if this has been posted before, but I saw one of these on the M60 this afternoon...

Now, I thought what anyone else might think - a Vauxhall Astra convertible.
But no - this is the Vauxhall Cascada. It is an Astra convertible, of course, just with a more pretentious name, but for some reason its introduction had completely passed me by.
and it's ginormous!![](http://thumbsnap.com/sc/w3G6Cztl.jpg)

There cant be many cars with a larger brake disc/caliper set up, than these? They are huge.BTW.... I'm inclined to agree that anyone that drives a white 4x4 is generally a butthole.

Here's one I'd not encountered before - the Brubaker Box from the 1970s.

I find it disturbingly cool![boxedin](/inc/images/boxedin.gif)
Surely the electric love child of the Brubaker Box? I give you the Mia Electric. Saw one as a van in London and then it turned out that they sell them from a Daihatsu dealer in Croydon.![](http://priceofhistoys.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/custom-brubaker-box-kit-car-111.jpg)

We probably knew they made them but I've only ever seen one on the road - the 4 door Insignia. 99.9% must be hatchbacks.

Someone who often visits a house down the road from me has one and there are three around where I park at work. They're not that rare, just hard to tell apart from the 5dr at a glance. When Ford launched the current Mondeo they offered a 4dr version but ditched it in UK spec due to lack of popularity here.![](http://images.goldcarsltd.co.uk/vehicles/vauxhall-insignia-saloon-2-8t-v6-4x4-vxr-4dr-fa2d285df9370b344c6cf6099b019052-640x480.jpg)
