Yes I saw that picture above, and thought the same thing. I was going to post a Viper reply, but Stewart beat me to it. :)

Although then I wondered if I had seen the effect on any other cars, and below are some pictures, these cars have serious performance, and are quick, while that Xantia which is certainly not a muscle car. :D

Dodge Viper

Ford GT40

AC Cobra

We are used to the effect on all of these performance cars, on the Xantia it looks completely out of place, and daft. :roll: :)

What little value that was left in the Xantia, has now gone down even further with the stripes.

So I agree with the title of the thread WHY !

Why bother!
