Yesterday i was made an offer to swap my XM for another car, the vehicle offered was of 1989 vintage and was produced by ford, i refused in a polite way but can anyone guess what it was with such poor clue's?

Re: Is it fair to have a no visual clues whatsthisthen?
you can but neither are correct so in the interest of fairness here is a visual clue of the actual car in question more in line with the whatsthisthen rules

Re: Is it fair to have a no visual clues whatsthisthen?
....er...always good to find out a bit extra about the whatsthisthen? cars but....probably more about the Ford Probe than you ever wanted to know. Ford had at least 5 "Probe Concept Cars" before they ended up with this as a production model.
The probe V Concept (1985) was the last of the bunch
....personal opinion of course.......yukk!

I liked the UK version of the Probe. I looked for a decent one to buy for a while but ended up with a Cougar instead. I like those too.

I like them too but I'd never swap a well sorted XM for one though...

Yes, I once swapped a 205GTi for an ActivaBenC5HDi wrote:I didn't . I sold a V6 Xantia to buy one though
As much as I love the Activa I always regretted parting with the 205GTi

Re: Is it fair to have a no visual clues whatsthisthen?
My cousin had a new probe many years ago, quite nice looking but I wouldn't swap an XM for it. When I had my first XM everything else I tried was rubbish in comparison.
