Maybe we need a separate thread for “New mass produced cars which you didn’t realise had been released
Fair enough. Sorry I bothered.Not everyone has got the time to pore over the motoring press, so not everyone is as au fait with new releases as you may be.

Look at how hard it is for existing manufacturers to get a foothold into any sort of premium or luxury automobile segment - VW Phaeton, Lexus LS etcetera....!
To be fair, Lexus LS was a roaring success in launching a new luxury brand.OK, Rolls Royce it ain't, but in many countries it carries a similar caché to BMW or Mercedes-Benz.
Toyota also deserve credit for giving the established European brands a kick up the arse in terms of build quality.
I would certainly rather have a Lexus LS than a contemporary Mercedes S Class or BMW 7 series.
I am equally certain that the current S Class and 7 series would not be the high quality levels they currently are, had their manufacturers not been given a fear of Lexus stealing their lunch money.
Subaru Vivio T-Top. 2 seater Kei car (they sold the 4 seater hatchback here) with removable targa roof panels, T-bar and rear window, or any combination of on or off. Roof on and back window off? Course you can.

I'm sure I've seen those wheels on something else. A Suzuki or Toyota?https://jalopnik.com/the-subaru-vivio-t-top-was-an...
It looks like one of those X-90 Suzuki things that's been shrunk in the wash.

The mere fact the poster said they would get taken for it'a £25k sibling suggests otherwise.
It means that the £25k version is also has rather crass styling. It's a modern Mercedes, this is to be expected.BarbaricAvatar said:

I hope they were going for the "Action Man Toy" look, because they've succeeded. Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
