Front looks like a Camaro.

Especially if you slap a firebird style conversion kit onto it

M3 concept unveiled at Le Mans


I think it looks very good, apart from the stupid screen inside.

Not sure the photos do it justice, I watched the Top Gear reveal and I think it looks pretty nice. There's a few things that seem overdone/exaggerated with the styling or just out of place, but the overall shape and styling, the lights etc looks very promising.

No idea why they've changed the screen setup in the Neue Klasse - the current wraparound large display is one of the best solutions I've seen. Having a standalone screen in the middle seems like a step back.

They’ve kind of forgotten that cars need number plates though.

Bunch of Honda Super-N reviews today.

Price confirmed at £18995, just one (pretty good) spec - heated seats/wheel, adaptive cruise, Bose sound, etc. Orders from Monday.

Don't need one, really want one.

That is a bloody good price, a bloody good weight (a touch heavier than my Puma was ) and decent range for what it is (190 claimed, probably 150 real world) and if you just need something for blatting around town, and maybe some inter-town trips, that seems like it's a decent choice.
If I had a few extra pennies and somewhere to charge one, I'd be quite interested.

128 miles combined WLTP. They're being sneaky and throwing the "city" WLTP about which you don't have a hope of getting close to.

Do these small EVs actually consume less in the city? The Tesla does 2 miles per KWh in London traffic. Granted I have the AC/heating on as I don’t want to suffer but it’s way more efficient out in free flowing roads (5 miles per kWh)

[Carlos]

Yes heavy cars are proportionally squared less efficient in stop start conditions.

I mean, if your buying this to commute 50 miles each way on the M6 then sure, but I'd expect this to be more like a Honda Jazz - bimbling around town and maybe between towns from time to time, for most users.

It's a pretty small thing, so I don't think anyone’s gonna be buying it for regularly driving between market towns on the regular either (or if they are, they're probably buying the wrong car)
