Just received an email advertising the Super-N £18k plus, any colour you want as long as its blue, black or white.

Does anyone else think it is pretty ugly?

Perhaps it's a marmite car;- you either love it or hate it. I think it looks fabulous, but then again I like the Suzuki Jimny which also has a boxy shape (although I don't like the purple/blue colour - my favourite is the white).  ;D

I think it is ok, and has that distinct Japanese design concept.. Nissan Cube etc.
I do think they missed a trick though, and could have followed in a similar vein to Renault's new retro 5 or the new Citroen 2CV styles. Small, but nice lookers.

Skywell's (me neither ;) ) UK importer has closed its doors. They are the first from the new wave of Chinese cars to shut up shop in the UK, unless a new importer is found. (Although GWM recently pulled its Ora sub-brand from the UK):
