Look I know it's made by a bunch of lamb burning work shy peasents and I know the headlights will fall out of it and the trim will drop off but that is one great looking car

I also like it. You guys are going to hate me for saying this but the French make some pretty nice cars. And have you noticed that Renault is running away with the Constructor's Championship in Formula 1?

If someone chopped their minivans roof, you'd get that.
It's not too shabby, but not great.
That design right there could make it well in the market, but man it's a touchy design and production vehicles do have a high risk of being worsened
Your magic could really do something to it though, it could get interesting. I can't wait.

Yes Doug, I think you should chop it.

Citroƫn makes cool looking cars these days, they're a testimony to their heritage. Affordable, but yet not like every other Eurobox on the road.

Sadly, this is a concept only and will remain so. But there's more down the pipe coming from Citroƫn. I'm growing really attached to the new C4 coupe, if it wasn't for that split up dashboard cluster and digital speedo. (Rev indicator centered in front of driver, speedo in forward dashboard center and everything else in center console. You can't get a good overview just by looking down. But then again, it's a classic sports car feature like Alfa Romeo.)

I really like the Renault Megane Sport Hatch. I can't tell from the website but I think it's only got a 1.5 or 1.6 liter engine and I'm not sure about the hp except that it isn't a whole lot. Still, for Europe, it makes a lot of sense.

Sweet, you guys were posting this while i was in paris drooling over the french cars. I'm totally in love with the C4 coupe, so cool. Even the C2 is pretty sweet looking, much more stylish alternative to the twingo. The Peugeots are pretty sweet too, them and citroen are in cahoots, all sorts of shared platforms and so forth, but i definitely prefer the style of the citroens, more straight edges, sharp lines.
I started off not liking the Renaults that much, but they put out some space-age styling. I like the megane, i've got a couple french car mags, one of them's got an article on a sweet racing version of the megane with a 330hp V6 derived from the 350Z engine. (renault's in cahoots with nissan)

My 84 Alfa Spider had the speedo and the tach in a consloe right in front of me. I've never seen an Alfa with guages in the center console.
