What is this car?

On motorway the other day, I overtook a car which (imo at least) looked quite cool.

It was a 5 door car, but really small, possibly 107/aygo/c1 size, or similar to my IQ, and looked narrower, like chevy matiz width. Was a 11 plate but missed the badge as I flew past. Thought it was one of them quadracycle things at first but must have been doing 75 or so.
Rear end kind looked like a peugeot, or some sort of korean/jap car.

Any ideas?

    Nah looked narrower than that, and rear end was different. Very similar shape though, so good guess.

    Looking on parkers website at moment trying to work it out!

    Cheers, the peugeot looks like the one! Not heard of the ion!

    So is the mitsu a petrol then? Ion looks like one of those (bloody expensive, £33k!!!) leccy cars.

    Just looked on that pug website, its advertising the Ion at the bargain price of £415 + VAT a month on PCP! Why would anyone pay that for something that looks like a Wagon R? You could have a BMW for that money on PCP couldn't you?

    Are you sure that's on a PCP?
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    could It be a new model of car not yet for sale?car makers often disguise new models when out on road trails to prevent them being photographed.They usually end up looking like a little bit of most cars.watch the advert for LV insurance and the car in it is a cross between an astra fiesta and corsa.:):)
    counting down the time I got left.:beer::beer:

    Was deffo the peugoet ion, thought it looked a bit pug like from the rear originally.

    Still can't believe how expensive it is though. If it was £20k cheaper it would probably appeal. Almost.
