I have to say that it looks a lot better than the Chinese spec one!

Just a bit worrying that it says that it will only be available with one 104 bhp petrol engine though!

Are they dusting off the 1.4 K Series?

Wheels look a bit too small for the car. Otherwise it looks OK.

Would have to concur, but to be fair to them, so will most of it's competitors!

That looks much better than the Chinese version we've been seeing so far. I like what I see, may even be tempted myself once more info is made available. 1.4l 104ps worries me, has K-series written all over it. I don't think they are bad units, but the rest of the UK market will run and hide. They need a small 1.2 tce unit really, nasp is dated now. And they need a sports one!

Looks promising, it is early days after all!

Looks like a DS3/VW Polo

I have to disagree, I think it looks hideous !!! looks like someone attached an airline to the exhaust and inflated it !
Horrible.

But to be fair, to SAIC, so do most modern Super-Mini's!

Your not wrong there......most of the modern rubbish are just plastic pigs. No personality and rolled off the molding tray
