In reality, it's the most caricatured body-kit you could ever think of for any
car, not just a restrained family hatch. Nuts.

That's 'cleaner' and not half as stupid as the first bodykit pictured Xant
even if the German one has been all TeenLad'sMag'd up spoilers'n skirts.

I can see why they have done it!

It's because the S1 Xantia is an incredible piece of design. Subtle, understated yet very sleek. Not as sleek as an XM, mind!

Problem is that you can't improve on an excellent design.

I think it's the headlights on the S1 Xantia that are so attractive. They are long and low. Compare them to a 940 Volvo of the same year.
