Surely that comes under the category of a SUV?

And it seems that more and more car designers just seem to copy Range/Land Rover Evoque style.

It's marketed as a 'compact SUV' so I guess both an SUV and a family car?

That's part of the problem now - everything looks the same. If you do try and make your vehicles look different you just end up with awful grilles (BMW). That Lexus could be anything - if you told me it was a Renault, Peugeot or Hyundai I wouldn't have any reason to doubt it.

Hence my post saying that all the manufacturers seem to be copying the Evoque which I believe was the original design.

Haven't heard much from Citroen, but it could well be DS. We know how much they like that range

To be honest this is only going to get worse with formation of Stellantis, Under that title there is something like 12 different car brands, that will all be sharing modular components and parts.

Styling quirks will be the primary way to tell the brands apart at a glance.

Quite a challenge. 14 brands if my reading is correct.

This is in no way directed to Gérard but at the meaningless rubbish that is used by companies and politicians in particular. Stellantis is a manufacturer of cars and other modes of transportation that is all about moving people and so they are a means of connecting people and things. That statement is a load of b*llocks!

More accurate:

"Stellantis is a blob of 14 automotive brands and two other things that are about more than transportation: they're about making money."

As an European I can tell you that when Pug has to join Fiat to keep the whole mess floating it means bad weather for both! We already had Renault trying to kill Nissan, what's next? Aurus Senat and Dacia may be…
Hope they'll use Google translate to go from "bordel intégral" to "grande casino"!

Its what designers call a smile and a pleasant-faced car. The French twingo had this. Do you remember the cover they made fort the first examples of the new 500 generation? Nice trompe l'oeil it was.
