But looks ugly in my opinion.

Can see what you mean Mike but to me it looks like a crossfire.... with a big smile.

[Thelongads]

not sure about the front - looks wierd

[Digsy]

Don't mind it but it's no Zed.

[Kev946]

Oh dear...

[neo]

thought more smart roadster than 350z

[rmmackfc]

It's French

[xStric9x]

From that angle the back end looks like a crossfire

The autoexpress item says:

 

"it aims to tempt buyers away from more costly rivals such as the Nissan 350Z."

 

Any takers on here?

 

Anyone so minded would be bloody mad - made in France means crap build quality, crap longevity and crap residuals - and that just for starters.

 

Neo said it looked more like a smart roadster - apart from the gearbox that is a damn sight better car than the ugly ducking at the top of this thread - just a pity they never put the V6 bi-turbo into production - anyone who were fortunate enough to have a ride in one of the ten concepts they made will know that was like s..t of the proverbial and they handled like a dream.

Any Jap based cars are a far better build than French cars IMO when things like discs need replacing with less than 12k miles done because they have warped.

 

I have never had any such issues with the Honda, Subaru, Toyota, Suzuki cars I have owned (aside from two ZEDS), all of which have been ultra reliable without bits falling off or wearing out prematurely.
