I guess the date of this press release may explain why this all passed me by at the time - only to be brought up by a Matchbox car in Sainsburys:

Have you seen the new Tigra? I think it was based on the frogster.

They look very similar. Still can't decide if I like them or not, I do, then I don't, then I do... and so on.

I know what you mean - just after I'd posted I realised the similarity.

Trouble is that Tigra mk1 was such a crap car, it's hard to get the taste out of your mouth.

Are you really gonna defend the mark 1 Tigra?!?

I mean even if you did it cost so much money didn't it? Same problems with the Smart Roadster.

I'm afraid the Frogster was never produced and four years on it doesn't look like it will be now. Shame. A sort of ragtop micro-suv.

The Matchbox one looked good!
