Rover Spiritual

A concept car. Rover's attempt at a new Mini before BMW did it.

I thought Rover developed the Mini prototype of the MINI we know now, before BMW took over?

 

[VXR]

The Spritual concept came first, but they decided to start work on what became the 2001 MINI, which is what BMW kept.

[NT_03]

Mazda BT-50

I actually see a lot of those cars in the road.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

The Opel Corsa when rebadged with the bowtie. This rebadge that's sold in Mexico is called the Chevrolet..."Chevy". Also, boy that grill looks ugly

 

[NT_03]

Tatra 97. The Beetle's inspiration.

Tatra 97. The Beetle's inspiration.

👍

Tatra sued Porsche for damages, and Porsche was willing to settle. However, Hitler canceled this, saying he 'would settle the matter.

He 'settled the matter' by invading Czechoslovakia

It just looks like a very average car. That name though...

So that car caused World War 2

^ Not available in North America along with VW Amarok, Ranger, L200, HiLux, etc. (because of the stupid 35% Chicken Tax), thats why.

-> Although I've seen the L200, HiLux, & Ranger in Vegas with Mexi-plates.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Yeah, but it's a bit uglier than most normal hatchback cars with that grill. It's just as bad as the Aveo.

In that case:
