Saw 4 191s today after seeing none so far a 3008 micra evoque and an a class.

Zonda999 · 12-01-2019 9:16pm

Saw my first 191 yesterday, a fairly miserable looking silver Hyundai i20 with hub caps, not a good start:pac:

Saw my first 191 today when the missus arrived home with her new fiesta. She had to pay extra to get the Zetec pack on the Zetec model (otherwise the car came with hub caps)...what's going on at Ford?

Well new cars are like buses. You wait ages to see one then see 3 in one go! A very snazzy looking Range Rover+ a Volvo and Kia. I have no idea what Volvo + Kia car were as it was dark + didn't recognise model. They must both be new styles. The Kia was SUV style but smaller than Sportage. Volvo estate like but not the XC90.

All were black. I wonder is black the new colour trend now like white was a few years ago.

Kia Niro or Stonic would have been the Kia then maybe. Was it the Volvo XC60 maybe.

Yep just looked up Kia definitely one of those. Are they brand new models? Not sure about Volvo but it could be XC60.

While passing on a DC Friday night another car came up behind and was only a few feet from my back bumper, I finished my manouver and about 10 seconds later a derermined 191 Dacia Duster thuddered past.

Guess what 191KY1 is attached to?

A CLAAS tractor!

For something that'll spend most of it's time in a field that 1k wasn't well spent imo!

Most likely costing well over a 100k another 1 won't make much difference when wrote off against tax.

191 Tesla Model X

Another black car. Definitely must be the new 'in' colour.

The Stonic has been out a year and the Niro about 2 years .

Same with me I saw none and then saw a whole bunch. The first I saw was a Suzuki Ignis, followed by a Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, Dacia Duster, another Tucson and finally Audi A4. All the SUVs were black in colour.

Have to the Ignis is an odd one.

GusGus · 13-01-2019 8:21pm

I like this one

alan partridge aha · 13-01-2019 8:28pm

1st 191 I saw only yesterday and it is a Sandero and 2nd a van ffs.

bs2014 · 13-01-2019 10:33pm

While we're on the black theme....seen this today. I think looks lovely.

Incidentally ford sales are down 20pc first 10 days compared to last year. Hyundai is exact same volumewise and VW is almost 10pc ahead year in year

illdoit2morrow · 13-01-2019 11:19pm

No pics as it was sitting in a driveway but spotted a BMW 8 Series.

191 D 1510

Duke O Smiley · 14-01-2019 6:50am

191D G wagon on Belgrave Square yesterday morning, there’s a 191C going around too apparently

MightyMunster · 14-01-2019 9:08am

From the photos here of 191s none of them came with self parking anyway. Every single car is parked over the line

I really like them tbh. Lovely inside too.

And gadgets

appledrop · 15-01-2019 9:47pm

3 more 191 today. A fabulous Volkswagen Touareg in silver. I wouldn't pay €70 grand for one though.

Next up was a Seat Ateca which I really like. I've never liked any Seat car before but this one has grown on me. It was white.

Finally a dark navy SUV. No idea what brand or model as it whizzed past me on M50.

Local lad here has the new 191 Touareg fully specced at 92k! So he says.

Not surprised with the Ford sales.

Was deffo buying this jan and called to 2 Ford dealers before Christmas for deal with my trade in on kuga. Lord they were not able to give anything decent.

Guy in mallow blamed Ford Ireland. Reckoned he could sell nothing with current prices. PCP interest rate was over double vw/seat.

€100 a month more for kuga over ateca with same end payment. Cars very similar list price.

I also tried to find a new st line estate focus for a look. Not possible. Was genuinely interested.

I'd well believe it. When I was looking them up starting price just under 70k so once you add on all bells + whistles I could see it adding up!

15-01-2019 11:11pm

Saw two 191 LH Landrover Discovery, parked outside a welding/fabrication business of all places. In for bullet proofing maybe?

I'd have thought nothing of one but two? Wonder what if anything they wanted done, doubt any working there are on wages for 60k cars, let alone two of them.

That type of business is flying at the moment.
Could well be two directors cars.

Maybe next year they will be able to afford VW's.

Seriously though I had no idea you could spend 92k on a VW.

ofcork · 16-01-2019 12:06am

I assume the 5.0l V10 in the touareg would always have been over 100k is it still available?

Gone. Only 231 or 286hp (in the UK) variants of the 3.0 V6 TDI

I barely sow my family for the last 3-4 weeks and when I sow them I wanted them to go away and let me crawl up some hole and pass out.

Dealers could do a solid at least once a year. And if my car would be ready for 1st of January, then thats when I want to pick it up. Its not like dealers work physical job.

You must have got an awful drop when you realised after training and getting a job as a chef that you would be expected to work anti social hours!

So did you buy after and if so what?

GeneHunt · 16-01-2019 4:07pm

I seen a number of 191's so far, but this is the most unusual I've seen and I found it in Meath (I didn't even know Hyundai was manufacturing this option in the Kona) apparently it's new to the market. it's got a pretty good range at 449km

If you havent seen it yet there is a big Kona thread in the electric car and hybrid sub forum.

Might be worth a read if you want to see more about the car.

The devil drives a Peugeot.

I saw a 191-C-666 white Expert last night.

Trebor176 · 16-01-2019 6:48pm

191-D-2193 - a Range Rover Velar near Stephen's Green this evening.

The Velar is nice, but the choice of colours is very limited.

An uncle of mine got 665 one year and was told (probably wrongly by the salesman) that 666 gets skipped?

appledrop · 18-01-2019 11:06am

191 -D959- Ford Transit Van. The boom must be back if business are able to buy new vans again. I was driving behind it for ages before I copped it. That's transit vans for you style of it hasn't changed in donkeys years.

Knew a guy who had 666 on a Brava before so it does get used.

The lads driving them don't care how they look. As long as it takes either a euro pallet or 8by4 it fits a lot of needs for businesses. I salute businesses who invest in new transport, boom or no boom. 191c1337 Octavia 115bhp last night on the M8.

Skylinehead · 18-01-2019 12:41pm

Why must almost every electric car be ugly as sin? Ioniq, Kona (looks bad as a normal car but then block out the grille and it's even worse), Model X, i3 are all awful yokes to look at.

There was a Alfa 156 GTA with a 666 plate on it, thought it was incredibly apt!

On the 191 front, another Kona Electric. This one being the mothers that she was finally able to pick up. She's coming from a Renault Captur and seems to be liking it a lot.

I saw two more 191 Electric Hyundai Kona's near Dundrum Shopping Centre yesterday.:cool:

True, the whole grille being redundant is a thing, but Tesla managed it with their other cars, and the new Leaf is pretty decent looking, doesn't explain these abominations.

I think its because they don't want the masses buying them yet. Make them less attractive and people will be less inclined to buy them. The Teslas are the first electric cars that look good, because they are trying to compete with the luxury brands. I would imagine the profit margin on an electric car is smaller for companies, and that they are getting kickbacks from the oil industries to continue R/D into making people keep buying oil products.
