It's an Auto Express photoshop job.. nothing to rely on! Same colour as my old cdi though!

Ah, OK.  Are they still basing it on the Twingo?

Will the new Merc a class not be filling part of the niche. Ok will be more expensive I imagine and size will be bigger. Saw the review of the forthcoming AMG model- looks very interesting ....

I think I would be tempted to upgrade to the crossover if it came out

On first glance I thought they reminded me of the Daewoo Matiz ! !  Except now it's a Chevrolet.

Looking at the first picture and the size of the guy inside you can tell immediately that
it isn't going to be anywhere near the size of our car....in fact as it's based (supposedly)
on the Twingo that tells you all you need to know about size.....it'll be a small 4 seat town car.
Less luggage space than there is in ours, let alone anything else, but perfect for delivering
pizza's in as that is about the biggest size of box/container you'll get in it, or on the seats !
As for taking a dog in the back....a daschund or a corgi yeah, anything else would need to
have the seats folded flat...assuming they go flat.

As for the Crossover...that's just a new ForFour on steroids...with jacked up suspension,
bigger wheels with low-pro chunky tyres (to give that genuine off road bone jarring ride),
and big bits of grey plastic slapped about here n there to make you think it's something
different...or even 'special'.  And I use the term 'special' very loosely...

If the price isn't as low as a FIAT 500 or Ford Ka or a Kia i10 or i20, then both are doomed.
As someone else has already said...ours will be 'the' classic, and the best.

As and when I do decide to 'move on' from my ForFour it'll be for something at least the
same size as my current ForFour, perhaps a newer Colt, or for out n out fun a remapped
Punto Essesse (1.4 itre...120bhp..or remapped to 200bhp !) or even the Abarth.
