I am not reviled by this. Am I sickening for something?

I think it's reasonably decent to look at too - I'd rather cut off a leg than drive one, but as a bit of road furniture it's not as pig-ugly as some. Same with the new B-Max.

If you stuck an Alfa grille on it, i think it would still pass muster.

They look like hamsters to me, but generally not a bad looking thing.


However you HAVE to drive one of the auto's with the robotised manual for the pure comedy value of the appalling throttle/gearchange mapping. They drive like someone who has just passed their test (badly)


I'm sure Mr & Mrs Numpty would never notice hehe

The interior looks very nice indeed. 2 large centrally mounted screens showing virtual instruments and other stuff, nice leather etc. (obviously on high end models only). Perfect for the iPad generation.

Roomier than the old car and yet 140kg lighter, apparently. If true then this is really quite impressive IMHO.

Presumably there will be a Grand version as well.

One thing I don't like so far is the engine choice - it seems to be all 1.6 diesels with the usual eco gubbins to get low tax. But I guess that's where the demand is. It would be nice to see an efficient petrol version but there probably isn't enough demand in the UK. I think that they dropped the petrol option from the current Picasso a year ago.

Some of the exterior detailing looks a little fussy in the pictures but as with many modern cars you probably have to see it in the metal to judge properly. Perhaps it needs a slightly larger car and will therefore work better on the Grand.

I think they will do well with this.
