I've seen a picture of the Weekend (might even be a Station Wagon) in a car mag called "AUTO" i got from Italy.
Looks ok as far as an Estate, sorry Weekend, looks. No plastic bumpers tho!
Yup, thats what i'd have thought anyway, most companies are doing a sports utility car. Not quite a 4x4 but higher than a standard car with better clearance for... ruts... or speed bumps.
