What current / new car brings a smile to your face

What current / new car brings a smile to your face when you see one on the road.

For me it would be the new Fiat 500, I think it strikes the right balance between the old and new, and achive's something that neither the current Beetle or Mini can in style, IMO.

If I was in the market for a new supermini I would definitly give it serious consideration.

For me the Nissan Tida - I can't but help and laugh at the owner!

LOL, wouldn't disagree with you there, but I was thinking more in terms of a car you would like to own yourself.

I agree but sometimes i get this guilty feeling and feel sorry for them because they are all over 75 and know no better.

Bentley Continental, I fecking love them.

audi tts in black but i would say that cos i own it:D

R8 - every other "supercar" driver makes me feel like screaming "C*CK!" at them as they pass by, but not R8 drivers, for some reason I just think "good for you!".

I also love to see the A5.

I guess the reason I love the two cars above is not because of the cars specifically, but because they represent the revitalisation of a brand I love.

The 500's definitely a contender too.

Daihatsu Copen and Fiat 500 always make me happy. I also love the Volvo C30

A touch of bias there Chris?

:P

Ditto on the 500. Also the Punto actually. Whenever I see one I can't help thinking FIAT design great looking small cars.

A5/S5 - I think they are some of the best looking motors on the road

I split my hole laughing at a 107 with 5 people in it trying to take off from traffic lights this evening:D:D:D

I actually thought there were 4 people in the back the driver's head was that close to the rear seat passengers'

softtop micra, why bother?

Mr Benevolent

The new 2 door Corsa looks great!

I practically drool when I see one of these out and about and always try to show my approval to the driver. Best in Red or Grey I think.




Agree with Chris about the R8, there is something very "honest" about it that doesn't scream flash.

VW Scirocco - its out tormorrow and I'm thinking it will be my next car

superjosh9

+1 on the 500 and Volvo C30!

There are two cars for some bizarre reason make me feel some kind of inner lift:

Nissan Qashqai (It makes sense)
Skoda Fabia Combi (It makes *perfect* sense)
BMW 1-series (Because they're not in a 3-series? I don't know...)

I know, I know, but I don't know why.

No, it's a clever marketing exercise that seems to have made Nissan a mint.

Going out the dual carrage way today i was overtaking one of these. My friend started tapping my arm and nearly shouted "Gary....Gary!! WTF happened that micra?????"
I couldn't stop laughing.
And probably the R8. There must be like four in Limerick. One of which was in the petrol station last week. Fella didn't look like he could drive it. Kept cutting it out, i think. When i was inside i thought we were being attacked. The sound of it. Beauty.

Generally was never a fan of any Fiat but I really think they have done an amazing job with the new 500, its so so retro yet modern at the same time, everytime I see one I think of a cornetto ad or some old film with a 1970's 500 driving past the leaning tower of Pisa. Fiat have really hit the nail on the head moreso than VW with the beetle or BMW with the mini.

I'm with ye on the R8 .... amazing car.

Sheer amusement factor is the Pug 1007 with the eletronic sliding doors.

And when I have somewhere to store it I'm going to restore a 1983 MK I Golf GTI which will make me smile on a Sunday!!

Lol i laughed when i first read it, now i'm laughin more.
Just outta town and infront of me was a 97c reg'd Fiat Sceinco...(the toaster) with no less that five people in it. The back wheels were like this / \ and the car was no more then an inch off the ground. Pissed myself laughing at it haha

Ps. it was pink as well

So many, I wouldn't know where to start. But I suppose I'll twentysecond the new 500. Cool :cool:
