I came across this picture today. What a disaster for resale values!

We have got four of them in for sale all the base model. I think the sales director is a little bit thick as he seems to think he can shift them. I always thought the rule was " Once bitten twice shy etc". We have had one since December last year so god know how he thinks he can shift them. Yet some our trainee got in in dark blue 1.4 84PS Streetwise S and SE he has sold both in 2 weeks and he is only 19 so much for experience.

surely it comes with hubcaps? does anyone other than the various Australian police buy a car with steel wheels and no hub caps these days anyway?

Well the entry level Honda Element has almost Identical steel wheels here in the good ol' US of A, and someone at work has one. So people do buy cars specced this way. However put the right wheels on this Streetwise and it will look fine yellow or not.

Am I the only person who doesnt see the point of the Streetwise? It's just a 25 with plasticated bumbers.
I for one would LOVE a Streetwise, especially when I go to my parent's country house or when I wander by Montevideo's less cared over streets. And I actually like those steel wheels, they make the car less girly, more businesslike...
God, I want Rover back in these shores :bored:
