Remember the jokes? Q- What do you call a Skoda with a sun roof? A- A skip. Q- What do you call a Reliant Robin with twin exhausts? A- a wheelbarrow. But now that Skoda have sorted themselves out, and LADA and the Reliant Robin are no longer with us, are there any makes of car people can make jokes about, or is there no such thing as a *bad* make of car nowadays?
You can now apply those jokes to the likes of MG Rover, Proton, Hyundai and since Lada still make cars, and are going to make a come back in this country, them too.
how abot dawoo a car that does,nt change its name to chevrolet that will be the daewoo. also in my workplace (haulage yard) citroen picassos are jokingly reffered to as d l a cruisers as they are always driven by people on blue badge mobility scheme PS SKIDS I OWN A HYUNDAI AND ITS A DAMN SITE BETTER THAN YOUR BUS PASS MATE.
I used to drive a Honda Prelude 2li 16v and although all the car books referred to it as an old mans car it certainly scared the pants off younger drivers in their escort turbos who tried to get past on the motorway when I was building up my speed to 70mph.
Skodas are still pretty crap- whatever the reviewers say. Saying that 'Skodas have come a long way since the 80's and 90's' isn't saying much.
And the guy who owns a Prelude? Good on you. Honda recently reported a drop in buyer's ages from 58.... to 48!
We have a couple of Civics (one 1999 (for sale), and one 2001), which are a damn sight plusher than many of the so-called 'class-leading' Skodas and Fords.
