:drool: Yes please, i'll have the 148bhp petrol with the exact exterior above, though I'd probably change that interior panel to something else depending on the options. Why would you want a VW Polo over this? :shrug: The difference in brand reputation isn't that huge, in the UK at least.

Corporate identity - kidney grille, hofmeister kink, two-piece tail lights, short-ish overhangs typical for RWD vehicles, etc. Continuous development of the company's design language. Totally normal thing to do.

 

Merc's wagons used to be boxy in the past, Volvos too, they all kinda looked like their predecessors but they got rid of their trademark wagon design for whatever stupid reason.

 

C7 A6 is a very nice thing, indeed. I'd have thought that people would call that a bland thing, but not the newest 5 series which has more lines and creases than ever before (and for the worse, imho).

Yup I'm well aware of corporate identity, pretty much every car company has one, but for some reason the German marques seem to think this means Ctrl+C + Ctrl+P. But the similarities between each model of BMW has got nothing to do with the fact that I think it looks bland. It's just utterly boring to look at. Even Audi's famously boring designs are more interesting.

I quite like the new 5 tbh, yes it's not the most exciting design but I think the changes they've made have resulted in a more mature and better design. Do all models now have exhausts on the left and right? From the press shots i've seen I haven't seen any asymmetrical exhausts yet, which is a huge positive for me, I hate the :P or :b looking rear ends.

Also, Mercedes-Benz Vans UK’s Managing Director Steve Bridge has said demand for the Nissan-Benz pickup truck was so intense in the UK, that they've opened up the order books already to those who pay 1000 pounds in advance. They have said it's refundable though in case a customer decides to drop out.

Oh wow, I've always been quite meh about the Project One until that rendering. Though i'd have made the rear fin a bit bigger, more LMP1 size. Amazing front though, I doubt the real thing will be as good as that but still, very good looking super-hypercar, uber-car? :huh:

 

As for the X-Class, yeah, we do tend to have a lot of commercial vehicles and Mitsubishi L200s/Nissan Navaros type pickups in the UK, so it's no surprise that they're getting a lot of interest. I'd have one and I don't need one.
