The marketing team have got to be having a giraffe - that isn't a real word is it?

Anyway if you haven't already seen it let me introduce the Neue Klasse.

Circularity may or may not be a real word....but 'hilarity' definitely is and I think that's the word they were looking for! ;)

I threw some old chairs away that looked like the interior of that 'thing' about 30 years ago. I inherited them from my grandparents, I think!

And why do concept cars always have to have square steering wheels? It's so last century!

I like it. I bet I could strip it down and use it in the rebody forum as the donor for something nice.

Who would have thought that the future was a boxy 4 door saloon

Fashion is circular. I'm awaiting the return of flares, baggies, high waiters, paisley shirts, the list goes on and comes around again and again.

Wot I struggle with is with EV, autonomous driving etc being the future why are these concepts still basically a three box (front, middle and back) of the same shapes and configuration as ICE cars, is there no innovation anymore ? :whistle: ;)

Maybe the vehicle basic shape has already reached perfection, and all that is changing is the power source be it petrol, diesel or electric?

I hear the word 'modernistic' used a lot, In the dictionary it says in the style of modern. What is wrong with 'modern' then?
s*** like this is down to all these effluencers, and people like Kevin Grand Designs McCloud. I watched one of his programs where someone had spent half a million pounds building a concrete bunker, complete with metal conduit and metal clad fixings inside it, no plaster, no flooring, just bare concrete in and out, He described it a brutalistic and heroic

To me it is nice or horrible, my budget doesn't run to such expensive 'descriptions', and I am glad they don't.
I could not imagine ever feeling comfortable in there, just having to live there as a statement, I really believe they now have to keep up the pretence of loving it, though gritted teeth.

Spot on @gookah, I always think back to an old work colleague who used to say, 'Bullsh-t baffles brains.' I can remember when a 'plan' became a 'Mission statement' and the 'future' became 'going forward' etc,etc.😂
