First glance looks like an A1. Reply to this message | Report message

>> First glance looks like an A1. Yup looks like the first born of an A1/Pluriel cross. Not unattractive, tho the looks appear to be very colour sensitive. The inside is fine too, ideas clearly stolen from fiat 500 tho. Reply to this message | Report message

I think it looks quite nice, squarely aimed at the younger driver, I don't think you have to have it in yellow ;) Reply to this message | Report message

Boot aperture too small to be of practical use. Reply to this message | Report message

I like the ' plum ' coloured one in the last pic. Saw a big Audi in dark metallic plum the other day....looked so elegant ......probably not a tailgater, either...not being black or white ! Ted Reply to this message | Report message

IMO yellow is a very difficult colour to get looking "right" on a car. Porsche can do it and Seat can't, for example. Reply to this message | Report message

Seats these days are ugly in any colour. Yellow works better than most because you wince at the colour and look away before you notice the shape. Reply to this message | Report message

Yeah, when I look at De Silvas Mk3 (Typ 6L) Ibiza, and how they ruined it with the Mk4 and the backwards facelift to his fabulous looking M2 Leon, not to mention the awful looking Exeo - I agree.

It's the blue that gets me. The only other time I've seen a blue that eye-wateringly fierce is on the Toyota Prius..........it doesn't work on those either. The yellow's not bad, more gold than yellow IMHO. "More than one million personalisation options." So the chances of finding someone to flog it to later who wants the version you chose are pretty much nonexistant then? Reply to this message | Report message

With wheel spokes like that, which side view of the car do you think will look the nicest? Reply to this message | Report message

I quite like the wheels actually, I bet they look nice going slow, like in London traffic say :) Reply to this message | Report message

I think the press pictures answer the 'which side looks better' question - unless there are different, anticlockwise wheels for the left side. Not such a daft idea - we've had directional tyres for years now, so why not directional wheels? Reply to this message | Report message

Cars are getting uglier and uglier. Of course beauty is in the eyes of beholder. Last edited by: movilogo on Wed 11 Jul 12 at 14:10 Reply to this message | Report message

There's a few here that seem similarly obsessed, TC. Reply to this message | Report message

All these posts and nobody so far has mentioned the blinking stupid name. Reply to this message | Report message

>>nobody so far has mentioned the blinking stupid name<< I reckon that's a forgone conclusion though, perhaps you would prefer a Juke :) Reply to this message | Report message

How many of our Kia Cee'd owners think 'Adam' is a silly name for a car? Personally, I think anything this side of 'Maurice' still comes out on top. Reply to this message | Report message

I was laying in bed at 5.00am this morning thinking of Adam, I was also thinking of Cedric + Gloria + Juke. I decided I didn't like Adam (sorry Batman!) Reply to this message | Report message
