Why can't they Corolla alone as a saloon/hatchback/station wagon? Raize => C-HR => Corolla Cross => RAV4 ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, Raize and Rav4 are enough to satisfy the two segments, while C-HR, is more on its own. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator September 5, 2022 Author Share September 5, 2022 When 'Sport' Doesn't Mean Sport In a handful of moments throughout the years, automakers have used the "Sport" badge to indicate a smaller, cheaper version of an existing SUV. Nissan Rogue (X-Trail) and Rogue Sport (Qashqai) There have been a few instances over the years when automakers have been misleading. They’ve varied from subtle to blatant. Often time these creative diversions have to do with SUVs and crossovers, as automakers think of more and more ways to sell to customers in this oversaturated segment. Every so often, for some reason, an automaker applies a “sport” badge to some SUV or crossover and it doesn’t mean what we think it would mean. In our enthusiast minds, we imagine a special suspension package, a more powerful engine, or at the very least, a more aggressive cosmetic package. But every so often, the “sport” badge simply means “smaller or more compact than the original model.” I can think of seven examples from recent years. Chevy Captiva Sport Chevy Captiva The Captiva Sport was a strange offering in the U.S. market with a complicated history. So Chevy sells a Captiva SUV in various parts of the world; it’s been around since 2006. It’s currently on its second generation and looks like a cross between a Chevy Blazer and a Traverse. GM never sold the Captiva here in the U.S. Other parts of the world, mainly Central and South America, got a Captiva Sport that was based on the Opel/Vauxhall Antara. Saturn received a version of the Antara that was sold here as the second-generation Vue that was only around for two model years — coincidentally, the last two years for the Saturn brand, which folded in 2010.

Carbon82 Moderator March 30, 2023 Author Share March 30, 2023 From MPV to SUV, here's the transformation of Renault Espace over 6 generations. I personally preferred the look of the 3rd (JE0) and 5th gen (JR). 1984 - 1991 (J11) 1991 - 1996 (J63) 1996 - 2002 (JE0) 2002 - 2014 (J81) 2015 - 2023 (JR) 2023 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator October 19, 2023 Author Share October 19, 2023 Next time, it will be good to mention the brand and model of the car you are talking about. Some might mistook it for other model by the another brand... For those not very familiar with the Safari name plate, it has been used by Nissan since 1980... And American GMC also had a MPV with the same name. 4 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
