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?

Can i have two goes
Orion Ghia .... OR ... Capri (not sure when the last one was made, maybe 1987 to' so i'm too late) ... there's a good 'D' reg Brooklands in racing green just around the corner from me. Came out for the first time this year last week

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

Presumably you told him - politely - where he could stick his Probe ?

....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

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.
