I saw one this morning, black 5 door with black windows etc. Never heard of them before. He had the sunroof open as well. I mention that because the whole car put me in mind of the word 'wingdings' from Microsoft-there are bits & pieces all over it, the stubby aerial, spoiler thingy across the rear window, exaggerated wheelarches, plus the sunroof sticking up (some kind of tilt & slide), overly fancy wheels etc. Looks like its trying too hard. Don't know how much they are.

can't find a pic of the one I saw but like this:

I assure you it wasn't a five-door. hehe

I rather like the styling - it's at least a bit different.

Saw one yesterday and thought it looked ok in the metal.

Didn't get a good review in Autocar.

Yeah, I quite like it too. You could definitely not describe it as being another 'bland Euro-box' if nothing else.

oops four door. Most pics seem to be 2 door.

There is only a four-door version available - one on the back and three on the sides.

No, four door is right.

One door one side, two doors the other, and the hatchback makes four.

I saw one a few weeks go at a county show and thought it looked distinctive, but a bit too busy for my tastes. But then that seems to be the style at the moment, with designers concentrating on the details rather than the overall form.
