More cars you didn't know existed...
Discussion
This sounds like a joke from the name, but I discovered today that the Honda Lady exists. It was a Coggiola-built prototype but there is at least one in the wild: http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/kidney-anyone-1976...

I'm still not quite sure what MG is trying to be. You would think it would be easy to establish a strong corporate face when you own such a recognizable logo.
"Cheap" is what MG are trying to be. They're basically moving into the market where the Korean brands were before they went mid-market to take on the Europeans and Japanese.

Is this what inspired the 1980s Honda Civic and Accord Aerodeck (shooting break)? Wildcat45 said:

It looks like one of those generic looking made up cars you see in adverts for breakdown cover of insurance.I found a few on Auto Trader. What a nasty, cheap looking thing it is. Somehow other makers of cheap cars like Dacia manage to make no frills look vaguely attractive.
Is it any good though? I like the idea of a cheap but practical EV.

Love it.carlove said:
Was behind a Suzuki Swift today and was surprised to see a 4x4 badge on the back, I thought it may be a Halfords badge but noticed the off road bits underneath. It’s a real thing, not sure why it exists but I approve.
There has been a Suzuki Swift 4x4 or 4WD from 1990 till now, in all generations.It is popular in snowy and mountain regions, similar to Panda 4x4, and everywhere else you might need a small 4x4 car.

I knew about the 90s ones, but didn’t realise they were still making them as 4x4. I thought it was Panda or nothing for small 4x4s.It is popular in snowy and mountain regions, similar to Panda 4x4, and everywhere else you might need a small 4x4 car.

Really rather nice...
Have another stunning BMW, the 1969 2002 GT4 Fastback study by Frua. Lovely front end but the designer seems to have lost interest by the time he got to the rear.There was a Glas a few pages back..and here’s another...found it on the classics section on eBay...
