In Salzburg last week I saw a cool little Fiat 500 with Riva badges and a polished wood interior.



Turns out they sell them over here too! https://www.fiat.co.uk/fiat-500-range/fiat-500-riv...

Never seen one on the road. The true spiritual successor to the Metro Vanden Plas hehe

Spada Codatronca


Also available in Barchetta form

I'm not a fan of the looks but at least its a bit different I guess
Looks Batmobilish but the front has a tongue hanging out and the rear has a built-in middle finger....
The Barchetta looks a lot better due to not having the coffin on the rear.

What's the little bit next to the headlights? Looks like it pops out so maybe very fancy headlight wash system?
My, the styling of that is ...ummmm ... bold.

Nissan March Box. In other words, a Micra estate.



That's a good one,never seen or heardof it.
I wonder if any have come to the UK .
Yes, there's a couple of March Boxes in the UK.

You can also get a K11 cabrio, again there's a couple over here.



There's also a saloon...



...and pick-up.

It's in one of the Forza games on Xbox, I think it was Forza 4.

The 'coffin' on the rear has a speedometer in it hehe

No, not a 1980's rap artist but an Auris/Corolla with a stonking 280bhp, 3.5 litre Lexus V6 stuffed under the bonnet, Completely innocuous, even the exhausts are hidden, looks like a 1.4/diesel thingy.

I guess you could calibrate your own speedo while following it!

That's one of the craziest cars I've seen. I'm going to say that most of it was designed when they were using the local pub as an office, that's only time the idea of "Lets put a digital speedo on the rear!" ever sounded good.

We must keep this a secret from Audi, it'll only give them ideas.

No, much smaller than an Escalade. I'd say about equivelant to an A6 Allroad.

As said, it's a Cadillac SRX. Roughly equivalent to an A6 all road but only with big petrol V6 or the Northstar V8. I'd have a Northstar one if it was very, very cheap.

Actually rather than an Allroad, I'd say it's more like a Mercedes R-Class

Followed a black one of these on the way home - yet another Japanese minivan that Europe was never allowed to see...
