Why the AI? There are plenty of real classic cars to display and discuss.

Is that real?

It looks very much like AI, just like the Austin Maxi posted a few days ago.

A prototype maybe, by then the 'rover ' cars were re-badged Honda models.

A car fest on this morning's ride

First up a Toyota Paseo

Next is what I believe is a VW Polo 'breadvan' ?

God I hated driving it, clutch was really heavy, accelerator felt like there was resistance behind it...It was awful and with hindsight, I do wonder if it had something like a peda
Cars are funny things, I'd never entertained a German cars (or any other European car generally speaking)..nah, not interested, no chance. No logic, just some inner bias or whatever, who knows ?
Current car is Japanese (proper Japanese) and it suspect i will stick with them now...although the Tiguan or Kodiaq keep popping into my head for their massive usability benefits

- 2.0TDi
- 6-speed manual (which my wife hates!, & won’t drive)
- 4x4, basic models are front-wheel-drive only
(Haldex system, like FreeLander 2 & some Volvos, etc)
- mine is a 5seater, some are 7seaters
(this gives me an interesting option, as the rear seats slide!, l can have even more legroom, or a larger loadspace)
- 5seaters have a spare wheel!! (as the 6th/7th seats fold into what would be the wheel-well)

MPG; l can see 60+ on a long run, it averages 50MPG for me on ‘day to day’
Towing limit is 2000kg, so will cope with most caravans (if that is something of interest)

Now, that, even for AI, appeals greatly!!
A P5.5???
