Personally, I quite like both of them. OK, so the CityRover is just a badge-engineered and updated Tata Indica, but it comes with a decent spec list, it's not too expensive, and best of all it's not hideously googly like most of the latest Superminis on the market (Ka, Micra etc).
The Streetwise is easily recognisable as being based on the 200/25 design, but it's rugged and hard-wearing looking, so when you're anticipating the odd biff with the trolley in the supermarket, it'll be ideal.
I hope they both sell well in the lower range of the market and get Rover some more respectability. The company is very different from that of the 80s and it's a shame so many people are living in the past as far as their perception of the brand goes.
