Just come back from a week in Lisbon and saw a few of these:





I must admit I thought it looked pretty good and I do think it's a shame it never made it over here.

I also saw a few of the new Tipos, all hatchbacks and all, for some reason, in a dark metallic grey. Unfortunately, each time one went past it came from behind so it was past before I could get the camera out. Overall I thought the Tipo looked pretty good. Certainly distinctive at the front but a little Peugeot 308 at the back.

I had a fortnight in Europe last month and the tipo is popular in saloon form. Never been much a fan of the Linea though that grille on the gp nose is awkward to my eyes.

There is a Turkish registered tipo parked in a drive on my usual route to work also in a boring grey colour, I have to be honest it doesn't look anything at all.

Driving around France last week there are huge numbers of cars we never got hear, many of them are various models of lancia and some weird plastic electric things driving around Paris I've never seen before.

I've never been a fan of saloon cars I'd rather a proper coupé if it's going to have a boot
