Toyota Will VI to give it the correct name. I've had a few pass through my hands, odd looking things that remind me of a Ford Anglia due to the rear screen

Mazda Carol is a much nicer example with the Anglia twist.

[Fast Bug]

Love that Carol! I genuinely didn't know about it, they are so many great looking cars for the JDM market from that time period

[blue_haddock]

I must admit to having a liking for som e of the stranger jap imports such as the Nissan BE-1, PAO, S-Cargo and the daihatsu midget.

[Fast Bug]

A few years ago I'd buy imports straight off the boat and swap them for VW Beetles and Type 3s with a chap in Vienna and another guy in Germany. Mainly dealt in Figaros, but had a few Will VI, Cubes and Paos pass through my hands. Paos are cool little things, just very, very, very slow. They make for a long journey to Vienna

This is why I love this thread. Never heard of the Carol before but it looks great!

The 508 does look good but have a look at their "e legend" concept car - 508 coupe basically.

Yes please!

I had a play with a 508 in Berlin back in October, and I found it mightily impressive - the cabin was a lovely place to be. I have yet to see one on the road in any country though.

I live quite near a Peugeot dealer and have seen a few.

The estate is coming shortly and looks good too.

[Truckosaurus]

There was a new 508 estate camped next to us at Le Mans last summer, they do look good in the flesh.

On the subject of Peugeots..

The 508 gives me hope of Peugeot returning to form.

Agree. Nice though this one is, I do wonder who commissioned a large french saloon given the world is turning fast to mostly SUVs.

But many company car policies will still tie you in to a saloon/estate car rather than an SUV, and now they own Vauxhall I'm sure they'll tie in with them somehow
