Veeky Forums just likes anything that's a cute and affordable.
Carter Nelson
this may be a dumb question, but what about the car makes it cute?
Leo Roberts
BLUF yes, it is a meme.
It's not something that enjoys mainstream love, but we feel that as auto enthusiasts we see something in it that normies don't. The normie judgment of the (old) Twingo is that it's a goofy car with a goofy name and you might drive it if it were the only thing cheap enough. They don't appreciate things like light weight and repairability.
Austin Gomez
headlights? idk
Jacob Hughes
Dat face Dat ass
Jacob Phillips
thank you user for the explanation
h'okay
Carson Lewis
It's so tiny and curvy. All the edges are soft, and the headlights are a nice round shape. The engine compartment barely extends forward from the front at all. It's so different from the usual aggressive, angry style of most cars.
Isaiah Gutierrez
Most cars are angry if you look at the face they make with the grill and the headlights, twingos are a smiley face.
Christopher Cook
Also a newfag.
What's "hon hon"? Where did that come from? I understand what honning is.. but is "hon hon" like how it talks or what?
merci twingo started why? because it's french?

I had to look again at the face and I now see it! Thanks user, it is pretty cute and happy looking

Owen Morgan
It's honest about what it is, and manages to be happy and enjoyable about it.
Christopher Brooks
Not too sure what the "hon hon" is either, and I don't know what honning is (is that the sound a French guy makes?)
yeah, so it must be the horn sound and I guess merci twingo is basically more of the same. clever. I'm a board tourist so always fun to hear other boards memes.
Gabriel Butler
Yeah sure
Dominic Russell
Not like that but many engineers took inspiration from women's curves. Look at a GT40 and tell the engie wasn't thinking about a nice ass when molding those curves.
Landon Gonzalez
ayyyylmao
Elijah Hall
They also did that for the FR-S. The torque curve falls flat just like lolis.
Jason Scott
Most of Veeky Forums are euros I think (judging from when the posts die), and Eu has plenty of Twingos, I can go outside and see more than 3 in my street alone.
For me personally it was non existent until I came here.
But looking at it now its cool, I feel the car has a aliveness and happiness to it.
ALmost want to buy one, still might who knows.
Gabriel Perry
>Most of Veeky Forums are euros That's wrong. I sent more than half of the plushies to the states or Canada.
Alexander Powell
Hey! You're the Twingo Plushie Guy! I'd like a Twingo please (not joking, do want one).
Elijah Baker
www.autoplush.com for cuddly plushies. Blue isn't back yet, but I'm working on the Miata now.
Adrian Lopez
it's a meme, that's the entire point, nobody knows why they repeat it, they just do.
99% of usa has never seen one outside of pictures
Nathan Foster
Because he scores goals
Hudson Davis
Merci Twingo!
Jayden Reed
Thanks! I'll check it out
Hudson Butler
AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA
Caleb Morgan
those tiny wheels kinda make me want to go hoon in one of them.
probably reminding me of go carts

I also like how we already have a couple real Twingo owners in our thready now. Always comfy to hear their stories and see new content.

I'm still not sure if this was meant as cosplay or if that dude is seriously the reborn supreme gentleman in a Twingo

>tfw you use the liquify tool of PS on a Alfa Romeo to turn it into a Twingo and the result looks like a Mitsubishi Colt
the car is cool but the guy inside is too fat to shift correctly
Aiden James
yes hahahaha
Daniel White
How expensive would it be to import a Twingo? They're eligible now, right?
Nathaniel Hall
2018 to get one of the first 1993 ones but probably not a bad idea to already plan thing. There was a user who plans to import a couple but not sure if he's often in these threads and I don't know anything about costs
Jack Barnes
If you can find a '92, I guess. But they started to ramp up production closer to end of '92, so I guess you'll have to wait another year to get some early '93.
Thomas Lewis
I've never ever seen a 1992 Twingo.
Gavin Gonzalez
My math was off by 1, sorry. I'm just hoping they're not going for a gorillion dollars over in the EU. Import costs aside, I'd pay 3k for a really nice one.
Owen Miller
3k should get you a really mint one but from the 2000 era.
spending 3k on a 1993 is almost impossible. the 1993 ones I saw with sub 60k km usually went for under €1000 but this might change quickly when the classic car madness kicks in.
also, it's hard to find 1993 Twingos that aren't beaten to pulp since they're picture book examples of one-way cars. people really just buy them to use them up and not maintain them.
your only hope are grandma driven cars that stayed in the garage for most of those years.
Henry Sanders
Well I guess Euros dont want to pay the shipment.
Samuel Rogers
Kirby looks Pissed
Jack Cook
I took a look at mobile.de and there are currently only 7 1993 Twingos available in whole Germany.
1993 ones are really rare already. Pic highly related.
Nolan Fisher

Nathaniel Baker
Shit those are cool as fuck, I want them for both my twingo and my camaro
Chase Sanders
honhonhon isa stereotype of how french people laugh
>What Veeky Forums's fascination is with the twingo
Isaac Murphy
Cheap car, low maintenance costs, doesn't need much fuel and is really comfy.
I got one last year and when this one should die, I'll get another one.

As a previous owner of one of these miserable shitboxes, I do not see the appeal at all. Sure you could've considered it reliable in the sense that the fucker just kept running, but it sure was not making any miracles for passing yearly inspections. Pretty much everything that was able to break was either broken or in the process of.
Only good things going on for it was the abundance of parts due to the amount of crushed and junked twingos in Europe. It was a shitbox that got you from A to B, maybe even back home but that's it and only as a stopgap solution till you could afford something better or couldn't afford even the twingo.
They were quite plenty in the early 00's, but then they suddenly phased out of existence, probably due to the cash 4 clunkers shit and because owners moved on to a better car.

Brayden Perez
As a current owner of one of these magnificent shitboxes, I'm entirely glad I bought into this meme.
It's cheap to own, drive and maintain. What monday morning model did you get that everything would break because that's not normal. I'll never sell mine.
Jack Rodriguez
A practically brand new one with about 15k km on the clock. Shit was terrible, especially during winter, the LCD display cracked when the temps went bellow 15 celsius, had no gauges for the winter. Car failed to fire up when it hit -25. Didn't even bother trying at -32.
Nathaniel Price
> -32°
they had twingos in the siberian market?
Aiden Martinez
dude please tell me the twingo allows you to lay the seats down flat and bang that chick
Isaiah Walker
It does.

How short do you have to be to sleep in a twingo?
Are there any other small or small-ish cars where you can fold down all the seats into a bed?
Wyatt Sanders
>I'm just hoping they're not going for a gorillion dollars over in the EU. They're basically the cheapest of the cheap, although as others have posted '93s are getting rare because they're viewed as disposable cars.
Noah Brown
You're god damn right it does.

I hope someone still has the good one
