I ‘spose the designers thought they were pretty clever when they named this. Not to be a party pooper, but what is the meaning of this name? Because it is inappropriate to give a car a certain title just because it sounds funny.

What i’d like to know is when these vehicles are being released. They have been available in Europe for nearly two years now… I’d love to get my hands on a Fiat Qubo as it would suit my needs perfectly. If Fiat is going to concentrate on the sporty end of the passenger car market, wouldn’t that spell doom for the the hopes of the Fiorino Qubo ever being releaseed in Oz?

The Peugeot Bippee is shared with Fiat and Citroen – Fiat Fiorino and Citroen Nemo.

The Citroen Berlingo is a size up from the Bippee/Fiorino/Nemo JV, but I do agree with you, I think the Citroen Berlingo Multispace would be a better option.

Fiat/Peugeot/Citroen will all release their small compact LCV’s in Australia, but at this stage, Fiat will be the only one that will release a passenger version in Australia, which will be called the Fiat Fiorino Qubo, while Peugeot and Citroen will concentrate on the LCV/Commercial Van market.

Actually sorry the base Roomster in the UK is 850 pounds more than the base Bipper but I think the Roomster comes with more kit (and is no doubt better quality and will have much better reliability especially with Peugeot and Skoda being on the opposite ends of the Top Gear survey!).

The Bippee released here would cost more than a Roomster (like it does in the UK). Bippee Tepee is THE most stupid name I’ve ever heard (apart from the Citroen Revolte concept which was very realistic) ! Its just a Citroen Berlingo though (of which I’d much rather drive, but a Roomster would top my list)!

Peugeot Aus – don’t even think about it! Citroen Aus – bring in the passenger Berlingo (Multispace I think its called) AND the C3 Picasso!

Could be right, but Perodua Nipper comes pretty close, especially if you’ve driven one!

Price is good, just don’t see OZ customers like this type of vehicle. 1.4l, I guess even young mums won’t be happy about the performance. Saw a Roomster in sydney, exterior looks better than this, but I guess a lot more expensive.

Possibly the most ridiculous name for a car. Ever.
