Kind of like the new Aygo X. Don’t need one, but, it holds a certain appeal. I especially like the roll back roof thing. Could imagine it being a fun car if I didn’t need as much room for stuff. Or maybe I’m just approaching the small Japanese car and elastic waisted trousers stage in life… 🤔

Looks to me like a pointless styling exercise aimed and removing a bit more money from punters for no real benefit. Roughty toughty, grrr, look at me. You end up with a vehicle that costs slightly more to run and maintain (it'll be dearer on tyres and brakes, poorer on MPGs, dearer on insurance and no doubt other things), slightly more to buy in the first place, and nothing to show for it but, er, show.
Not for me, in case there's any doubt.

There isn’t. And I don’t want one either. But we’re both a fair bit younger than Humph.

So it’ll sell like hot cakes then Al. See also the Audi A1 “Citycarver” and that version of the Kia Picanto whose name escapes me, as similar examples…
Do you get the Kia Stonic in the UK? A Rio with cladding…

All right, Humph. Your glasses are in the drawer. IN THE DRAWER! We’ll have tea later and go for a nice walk in the garden.

Actually, I’m at the hospital now waiting to see the bone doctor. Some critters here… 😬

A Rio with cladding… Yes Stonic is here. Like you say, hotcakes, the road is full of cars like that now. Aronas, Karoqs, all those daft things which people imagine others admire and envy, and imagine their owner is on the way to their Country Estate to squeeze their horses or something. There's a large SUV in my neighbourhood sporting the registration AL07 NER. Which absolutely proves my point - the owner thinks others are going "Wow, I wonder how much that cost, what a successful and wealthy individual, I are consume with envy". Horses arses.

Anyway, Lady H has been ferrying me about in the Merc today. The Jeep is a bit too bouncy for my arm. She doesn’t drive mine much, but I think she has just had a mild epiphany. She admitted to rather liking the auto box in traffic and having the sunroof open on such a pleasant day.

Yes, why bother with that expensive cabin air filter when you can let all the filth in through a hole in the roof? 😛
