unrecognised cars.... - Mark (Brazil)
By the way...

What is the name of that Fiat that I saw last week ? It looks like a people carrier which has been hit in the face with a meat cleaver. Why would anybody buy such an ugly car.

Also a small Ford which looked vaguely like a Tigra.

Probably a Multipla, and I agree totally with the description. There are quite a few about though.

The Fiat was the Multipla. Not to everyone's taste but I reckon it's so ugly it is actually beautiful! At least it's different from all the other look-alikes. The Ford was the Puma, a Fiesta with a sock down it's pants.

Clearly a small sock.

I guess it's winter in Rio because there were a LOT of Brazilian girls on the beach in Bali. The most popular new car there is now the Daihatsu Taruna, a sort of pumped-up two wheel drive 7 seater Terios. Everyone is buying one. Would be a very sensible car in the UK as the state of our roads is broadly similar.

Certainly is. Temperature down to 27 degrees, beaches deserted, women in Bali
