thats the concept Rog

the wheels are ****ing ridiculous on it but i liked the flared arches. i actually prefer the final design though.

but it is very mk1 golf though they said inspired by the original civics which i think predates the Golf

It IS the 'final' design...

The production car was done first, the show car afterwards to demonstrate Honda's future styling direction.

Which does seem questionable. because the new Fit/Jazz looks like an earlier Jazz...still, it's cleaner than the outgoing mess.

Huh?

The Golf was based upon a Giugiaro prototype that looked not totally unlike a Lancia Delta.

Design languages are totally different.

On investigation much as I like the looks of the e Honda it would be hard to make it work here.

Given the flaky nature of the charging infrastructure I would need an oasis or two.

Charge points would likely be monopolized by hybrid SUV drivers

Parked up topping up while they enjoy lunch

ps is you sig still correct Nottm? Thought you'd flogged off my former wheels not to mention the Eisenmann

"Hello"



Is that a sunstrip for the i generation?

Aside from it being gayer than a hairdressers' convention in Brighton and more gopping than a Multipla, what's it made of?

Wings that form part of the front bumper?

That's not going to end well/last a fortnight.

NB Gay is not necessarily bad in gad's eyes. I have always had a man crush on James Dean and I have quite a few Queen CDs.

you'll be gutted to hear that front msg thing didnt make production Gad

for me, a positive review on ride quality is good

i think the id3 is just a few months behind with better range and similar price.. doesnt look as cool though but may suit us better?
