What do get when you cross a Jag, a Porsche with a little touch of... Toyota Avensis alloy magic? It's the all encompassing Britmobile! Confused? Ok, allow me to elaborate. NetCarNet carried out a 2month online survey to find out what's the ideal vehicle for UK motorists. The result, a 4door Coupe that features the front end of a Porsche Boxster, the roofline of the Jaguar XK and the rims of a Toyota Avensis! Interesting enough, in terms of statistics, 68% favoured a car with 3-5 seats, 50% of the respondents rejected petrol power in favour of a medium-powered diesel or hybrid engine, 20% where pleased by simple pleasures (air conditioning, electric windows and power steering), while more luxurious items such as rain-sensitive windscreen wipers and heated seats got a black mark.
Newcarnet's Massimo Pini said: "All the bodyshapes including the wheels were displayed in silhouette to ensure completely unbiased choices. Who would have thought, for instance, that the wheels of a Toyota Avensis would be the most popular, ahead of designs from Lamborghini and Maserati? The resulting machine doesn't have a hugely powerful engine or many trick bits, but this elegant four-door coupe is clearly the type of car the British public want. More manufacturers should take note..." Via: Netcarnet
