My wife said that she really enjoyed riding in one of her employees cars. I asked what it was, and she said "Oh I don't know. It was fairly new, had lots of nice features like heated seats." Hmmm, anything else you can tell me, like sedan, SUV, sports car, commercial truck? "It probably had 4 doors, and it had a bubble top. You know, the top was really rounded, like a bubble".
I love my wife, but she does not share my obsession with cars. I am going to ask her what the car is, but while I am waiting, anyone care to hazard a guess? Closest to the pin wins.
This kinda looks like a bubble I suppose.
Maybe a Captiva?
Chevy had bubble top Bel-Aire's in the early 60's....
^^^ yes! Two of the bestest (61 and 62).

"Probably had four doors"? I was wondering same as Grtechguy...
95-99ish Taurus is a rolling bubble..
I was not expecting a Mazda CX5. Bubble top? Good thing she's hot.
Newer Buick sedans look like a bubble to me... ask her if it was one of these...

In reply to mtn:
YES, round top, 4-ish doors, that's it. Of course the R3 doesn't have jack for 'new features' (the only 'electric' features are the left AND right windows!), but the luxo-models are pretty full of that stuff.
I've only ever heard this term applied to early 60 Bel Airs and Impalas.
Small and lots of features makes me think of MINI.
Ask her if it had a center speedometer.
Any MINI could be "bubble" given lots of glass but this would be exceptionally "bubble"
Could also be something odd like 500L. Hard to define (is it an SUV or a car or a wagon) and a name hard to remember (unfamiliar.)
Rather "bubbly"
