    Obviously taste is personal, but looked at all vehicles on that platform and I wouldn't touch any. I'm sure they're great cars for you, but I'll keep my hairdresser car thanks.

    I think it's a FIAT SUV of some kind. Probably spends most of it's time in the repair shop.

    Which reminds me...

    “People used to laugh at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian. Well they're not laughing now.” Bob Monkhouse.

    Eric Sykes got hearing aids "I didn’t hear a laugh for 25 years… then I got these and I realized I hadn’t been getting any!"
