at the risk of being flamed...

Christ but there's an awful lot of people wearing rose-tinted glasses around here. Modern cars are remarkably diverse in their styling, compared to a couple of decades or so ago. Try looking at Vauxhall Vivas, Hillman Hunters, Ford Cortinas and Escorts back in the 70's. They were all square boxes virtually indistinguishable from one another.
And as far as the new MG6 is concerned, what parallel universe are some people living in who think older MG's were more exciting styling-wise?

I mean, [i]really?[/i]. The cars of the eighties all conformed to a jelly-mould convention that rendered them all very similar in silhouette, often it was only the badge that gave the game away. When Peugeot brought out the 205, there were a bunch of similar looking small rounded hatchbacks, when VW introduced the Golf, there was a rash of small, rectangular hatchbacks. Put a Golf, a Fiesta and a Polo from the eighties together for example. Really, many modern cars are anything but bland, look at the latest Mazdas, the Seat's, the Fabias, the latest Astras and Corsas, and the Insignia, which is a very sleek saloon, the latest Fiesta and Ka, and the latest CitrĂ´ens, particularly the DS3, which is [i]supposed[/i] to be a modern hot hatchback, but is also unique in it's styling, unlike anything else around. How can that be bland? Yes, there are similar shapes, but various models are much more easily distinguished from one-another now.
willard citreon do a focus sized sweet car. not sure of the model but looks like the ds. Saw one out the other day.some of the vauxhalls look cool too. I love the little fiat 500!
I've got a Citroen C4 (bought recently) in the older shape. Very happy and it looks a lot more interesting than the new one.
Ok so drove a civic 2.2ex diesel (08) rav4 t180 (06) and golf 1.4 tsi (58) today. All do around 40mpg , I bloody loved the rav, my wife got out of the car and said it was bland and she is the sort of person who if asked what car we currently have would say ... A green one đŸ™‚
So, would it be stupid to buy a 40mpg car? Insurance and mpg are all similar on all three cars, the Honda and Toyota have all sorts of gubbins, sat nav blue tooth leather etc..
we will be doing sub 10k miles a year
Bah decisions decisions ...
