A brand and a car I'd never heard of. Vinfast VF8. Equivalent model to a Tesla Model Y or Ford Mustang Mach E. But sttier .

A niche you didn't know existed, "the world’s first all wheel drive crossover convertible"

2 door Murano CrossCabriolet with weird rear skylight.....

That is without doubt one of the worst looking 4 wheeled monstrosities ever created.

That’s just a tragic looking thing

You cannot enter the Lands End Trial in a 4WD one, only the RWD ones.

Vinfast, was in Vietnam October last year’ lots of them being used as taxis, talking to the drivers they charged them twice in a 24 hour period, around twenty minutes per charge.



Interiors quite spacious, very cheap feel, lot’s of hard plastics. As a taxi a good choice.

Their upmarket models; seem to take a lot of styling cues from a well known Bavarian motor manufacturer.







Not surprising, the company partnered with Siemens, Bosch, Magna International, Pininfarina, and BMW, among others.

Apparently the X-90 is classed as an SUV and the Murano a crossover…

The G Wagon got there even earlier!

If we're playing automotive Top Trumps, then Willys and Land Rover got there beforehand;

My jaw nearly hit the floor a few months ago as I crossed the road at a set of lights and saw a rather tatty Lancia Kappa estate on British plates. I knew of the saloon but never knew an estate version had been made.

It was quite the site, LHD, a bit crusty, P reg and the middle aged woman driving had a tab on I hope it's still surviving

Over in Stockholm I saw a HongQi this morning

https://www.hongqi-auto.com/pages/cartype/cartype_...

I saw one charging at the Tesla Supercharger at ICA Maxi, Haninge, two weeks ago. There's a dealership in Segeltorp I think. The thing that struck me was the sheer size of the thing. They are MASSIVE!

Wow, 5209mm long vs 5290 for a long wheel base s class.

It's still shorter than a LWB Cullinan and an EWB Bentayga.

But...it's still MASSIVE
