That is an odd one. I could fall for the price but the car is ... well it's ok, it's got a rugged charm to it.

Or this........
https://petrolblog.com/2014/08/bange...issan-prairie/ My old man sold his Rover Vitesse for one of these, in exactly this colour combo. The reason given was that we had a feckin' HUGE Newfoundland that couldn't easily get in and out of the Rover, but it became forever known as The Popemobile. Went from wanting to borrow his car to buying my own to avoid being seen in this. Fast forward a few years and with a young family I can see the appeal - it kind of grows on you... like fungus... He did eventually redeem himself by buying a Subaru Legacy which was a proper 'countryside' estate. I don't think he washed it for about 5 years though, or cleaned it inside. Ever. |

I liked when Skoda ploughed a lone furrow and its cars were more distinct. The latest ones are more badge engineered clones and the worse for it.... (although often better looking than their VW brethren..) I think someone on here was cross shopping a Fabia and an 8 series... |

I don't know about it being a car crush, as such, but I have long wondered what would be the best combination of fun and anonymity... So, something you can go out and have fun in, say up on the Moors by me, but does not draw any attention otherwise...
I was hoping the Golf GTI would be but it is not at all anonymous... even if you drive it casually... I guess something like a GTI but with normal trim levels and only the go faster bits underneath... A real Q car...

Then again, the GTI has always stood out from the hatchback herd. If anything, it's slightly more Q-car these days, thanks to its quad piped brother. I guess the badge carries so much weight amongst those that know, that it can never be a Q-car. Back to my first paragraph, I guess that's actually where the Q cars exist. In a range like BMW's or Audi's where every model is M-sported or S-Lined, then the Q-car is the 40i/S model in debadged form.

The truth is that these days almost everything is fast compared to the old days.... so maybe everything is a Q car versus the supercars of the 70s or 80s.... |

BMW's etc would rule themselves out as the brand is an aspirational one, so even 318's stand out… (plus, my 340 never felt like a car I could go have fun with up on the Moors)… An Escort RS 1800 (back in my younger days) did not really look too much different to an Escort Pop… but it was… Maybe it is only custom built cars now..?

Not sure my half-handed photo technique helped, including mainly floor in the frame. Shopping in phone hand, daughter hauling at the other
