The SN95 does look Japanese but this was when Toyota was selling millions of Celica's so no surprise that Ford were copying them.

Fibreglass body?I had a reliant scimitar a few years ago, which gives a good passing resemblance of the interceptor. Was a great car, til I wrapped it around the front end of a juggernaut
New ride. Actually really excited about this. Apparently you non-American Anglophones get this as the Landcruiser/Prado, but I'm partial to this design.
I hate that model but there's two more I think shouldn't have the name because of the awful styling, this being the worst imo
Looks like a jarg Sierra or Orion

Thanks boss.
So, in the market for a new car here, a crossover to be more specific. I've set my mind on a (second hand) Qashqai, but decided to go and test the ones I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off budget for, namely - Mazda CX-5... and what a gorgeous machine it is! Practically fell in love with it, but shame it's so expensive.
My question is - anyone here have any experience/opinions from the Nissan Qashqai?

1987 Ford Sierra RS500 sells for £120k.
@Groucho
A 1987 Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 with just 11,000 miles from new has sold at Silverstone Auctions this weekend for a massive £122,400.
When Ford decided to replace the Cortina with the Sierra in the 1980s, car buyers thought they’d gone mad; who would buy a car that looked like a jellymould?
So Ford decided they needed to inject a bit of sparkle in to the Sierra, and the best way to do that was to make it quick and shouty. So we got the be-winged Sierra XR4i.
Having seen an appetite for loud and quick Sierras, Ford soon rolled out the Sierra RS Cosworth to huge acclaim, and the ultimate iteration of that was the Sierra Cosworth RS500.
Ford made just 500 RS500s, and over the years they’ve become a bit of a Ford collectors’ fantasy. But this RS500 must be the best of the best.
Owned by the same, very wealthy, family for 29 years, it has done under 11,000 miles from new, and has been brought back to as new condition by Cosworth specialist John Taylor.
All the original items replaced have been retained, and apart from new discs, fluids and belts, fuel tank and battery, everything is just as it was when Tickford made it for Ford in 1987.
All of that explains Silverstone Auctions chunky pre-sale estimate of £90-100k, but in the end this very original RS500 went for £122,500.
Which is an awful lot of money for a 1987 Sierra.

Yes.
Everybody who drives one seems intent on killing me. I can only assume that visibility is dreadful, as I've never seen one bring driven by anybody with any perception of space, or other road users.
Don't get one. I'll only have to hunt you down after the revolution.

Basically every motability car in Liverpool was a qashqai about 3 years ago, horrible looking things but I bet you'd get a decent spec model for a good price due to the fact there are so many of them about.
