It's one of those transformers. It's transforms into a sanitary towel by the looks of it.

It's a big "4x4" with rubber door panels. What's the big deal? It stands out from the crowd to attract attention, as Brett says just like the Juke did. There's nothing special about it, it just looks a bit different. Remove the "different" exterior and it's just another urban off-roader. Exteriorly big to increase perceptive genital size, but drivable like a poorly handling hatchback

What?
I thought the love of ugly cars was what being a Citroen owner was all about.
So looks bang on in that respect.

I though it was a Mini first glance.
Not for the faint hearted.

And if it had a Mini or BMW badge on it it would fly out of the showrooms.

It's definitely no more offensive than the countryman and it only costs 13 grand!
