Cayenne? Panamera? Pix or it din't happen.
Moments ago in the Grocery Outlet parking lot
Maybe not the choices I would have made, but the 2nd generation BRAT is IMHO a good base to work on.

For instance, instead of the triple-decker hood, I'd have gone with a stock hood split and hinged down the middle, to match the sunroofs.
An aerocap that looks like it's over a V-12 and a diverter like this Lotus:

Volt! Volt! Volt! Volt!
I've never seen so many Volts on one trip.
I went to a cottage east of Montreal this weekend, and while I knew the car was more popular in Quebec than anywhere else in Canada, I had no idea just how popular.
I easily counted a dozen gen 1 & 2's, and I wasn't looking particularly hard.
Supposedly there's one dealership north of Montreal that sells more Volts than any other dealership, and "As a matter of fact, 17 out of 30 employees have their very own Volts".

I did not have the chance to snap a pic, but I spotted one of these at a gas station where I was fueling yessterday. At first I thought it was a new Gen Prius V or something. Then I wondered if it was some Lexus version of the new Prius. I asked the guy. Sure enough... the gas station has a hydrogen fueling pump and he was fueling up. Sharp looking car from what I got to see on the fly (I was in a big rush).

not my pic, obviously.
ALSO, COINCIDENTALLY, we got an email from Honda yesterday re their fuel cell car, the Honda Clarity...
Check out it's "wheel well skirt," which seems to be partly a closing of the top of the well, and partly a spat of sorts on the side panel upstream from the leading edge of the rear wheel well:

Argentinian-made Mercedes-Benz Vito Tourer, this one is fitted with a 2.0L turbocharged flexfuel engine and a manual transmission.
VW Gol 1000, fitted with a 1.0L engine originally designed by Renault and made by Ford. Now it's quite hard to find one fully stock.
A local variant of the Opel Corsa B rebadged as a Chevy for certain South American markets. IIRC only Chile and the French Guyana had the Opel versions supplied from Spain.
3rd-generation Mitsubishi Space Wagon

Saveiro was sold here as the Caddy. Opels are not rare here either.

Wikipedia has the Caddy based on the A03 and the Saviero base on the A04 platform.
Opels are thin on the ground in these parts.
cRiPpLe_rOoStEr -- the 2100x1575 pix size isn't helping anything. Could you resize in camera or in posting? Some members (I'm thinking of Frank Lee) are on slow connections.
