Call it another guilty pleasure of mine. One I was curious to get others' thoughts on, especially from those outside of its original markets.

It's an odd mix of Japanese mini-MPV (Honda S-MX) and SUV that was quite the departure from what we were used to around the turn of the millennium. Something akin to what the Juke did a decade later. Attempting to be trendy through quirky design.

Top Gear were spot-on with the pram comparison though. Not only in terms of design, but the affordable schoolrun-mobile image that's as strong as it was the day it went on sale here. So I can't help but find it as cool as:

Helplessly Regurgitating Vindaloo.

Hopelessly uncool.

Nothing special. Meh

Off topic: I need to remember to actually use my new font.
 
I quite like these, but that really doesn't make it cool - good =/= cool. It's still a crossover, and despite me having an inexplicable soft spot for it, it is a crossover and therefore resolutely meh.
 
Wait... There's a car in those pictures? Must've missed it I guess. It is so generic its Uncool.
