BUt in generally speaking you can still get an engine in both, if you understand me. That's a big hint...

I was refering to the Discovery in that post, but ya it's not the answer. From a man with a username like that i'd expect you would be on top of it:D

Dont get me wrong the rr classic is well a classic and the new one is the best luxery car on the market bar a rolls royce and can still plug mud when it needs to (which cannot be said of the toureg or the porche one) just prefer the 110s and the 90s

But you could get 7 seats. it was called a Versio.

Nah, the new one has a regular key AFAIK.

A second gear stick (for the low ratio)

Sure was worth a shot. How about a cassette player?

L-M

Lol, the new one still has a regular key. Some one tell me the answer, CharlieCroker is wrong, but some one take that as a hint...

colm_mcm

maybe a manual gearbox? actually, I'm pretty certain I'm right!

We have our winner:D

And for your own reference Colm, i've seen a pre facelift, current model RR with seven seats. Albeit not from RR themselves, but still.

CharlieCroker

balls, wouldn't mind but i've a cousin with a manual RR and she cant get rid of it for love nor money!!!!

Ok, here's one. what really square car, when launched in the UK had an TV advertising campaign that worked out at £8,000 per car sold - subsequently bankrupting the importers?

CharlieCroker

Perodua???

colm_mcm

Nope, the answer is actually in the question, and it was a Japanese car.

CharlieCroker

Same here. My first guess was the Cube too.

B00MSTICK

The cube was never sold in the UK was it?

Think a hint is required in any case!

Suzuki Wagon R?

That was my second guess, but I believe they sold quite well. And weren't some of them built in Europe and some of them sold as Opels (well Vauxhalls in the UK)?

I was the only other Boxy Jap car I could think of, the cube sprang straight to my mind, only ever seen one on the road so can't imagine it sold very well...If it's not the Suzuki then I give up!

Cool thread by the way!

I hope not.

Lads to says one thing. If your going to be googling, just don't post. It renders the thread useless, and your taking credit and the chancd for those who actually might know the answer. Coolbeans this is no way directed at you.

No googling done. I'm just a vast repository of useless knowledge:D

I read something about the Daihatsu Naked in a mag years ago. I don't remember what to be honest but you don't forget a name like that. As for the Element; well as I said....
