I really like these & my son has one now.

Luckily not this one.

 

I’m running a 335d version of the F31……it’s a wicked car.

Hope your son is enjoying his 😬

@Defenderben  He has changed to this one.

This caught my eye off in the distance because of how bright the colour and i thought it was a new Skoda Enyaq Coupe.

Brighter orange than that on Peugeot's.

I had parked next to an Arkana the other day and it was green and surprised me how big it was.

My cousin has one in this colour. Her husband, who is a salesman for Renault also has one temporarily, in a lovely shade of red. If it wasn't as SUV-ified then I'd have sworn it was a new Laguna.

Thanks Joe Achilles, manual box!

The BMW iX

I saw one today, genuinely a jaw dropping car.
Mine dropped anyway, I doubt I have ever seen anything so catastrophically ugly in real life.
I've seen a few new M4s and M3s now and the shock is wearking off on them but this, this....

Not seen a Roller in the metal but I have seen a few Bentegas, Yep fugly but not iX fugly.

I honestly think the Rexxon is less offensive.

Couldn't agree more...   I saw a white one a couple of days ago and its one fugly thing...   Probably more ugly in real life than it is on paper

That thing makes an Austin Allegro look pretty.

Normal Allaggro or a van den Plas 1500?

The 'grill' looks like it peels off. Very meh

I think by some margin the Allegro wins in the looks department.

I remember this entry on it in "Car" magazine back in the day:-

For - Those impervious to its looks.

Against - It exists.

Sum up - Leyland joke.

Have now seen a black / dark grey iX in the metal at work, it doesn't look too bad to me.

Many Porsche lovely's at a Golf event this morning and lots of the road on their way there.

The BMW appealed most to me.

How can I say you are anything but a man of impeccable taste  ... sometimes 😛

 

 

It's sad, though, that there seems to be more Porsche SUVs than their sports cars.

There was a 944 parked up... definitely counts as my car of the day!

Cycling back through Hampden Park and went past this rather lovely rarity; 1980 (by the reg) drophead TR7:

 

 

Was in smashing condition 😎

Oh my goodness me!  Parked in a lay-by on my road this afternoon.  One of only a handful I've ever seen in the wild 😎:

The owner of the sub-post office where I used to live in Southampton owned a De Lorean which he was gradually turning into a Back To The Future replica, it would often be parked outisde his sub-post office which always made it a good day!
