That is not unlike a cross between my MX3 and a Ford Probe!! :)

Got to add this "Ugly" (personal opinion) to this thread.
Meet the Citroën Oli.

I am convinced that there is a secret quest among car designers to out-ugly one another.
Like this 'orrible flashy thing.



And the new Rolls.

Those American monstrosities in Biden's fleet an excellent example.

Does the American arms industry want to militarise police forces outside the US now?

These monstrosities have no use outside of a warzone.

And the price? $200,000. West Yorkshire Police bought two of them. 8-[

In support to those living in Yorkshire, obviously, the force had a spare $400,000 from their council tax contribution, why not lower the tax!

If I lived in West Yorks, I'd definitely be asking my MP some questions about the need for these

Came across this in my travels looking for some info about the AX Electrique. Not an Electrique of course but a former concept car based on the AX. Dig it out from the filing cabinets, and hey presto a nice practical vehicle for the 2020's and plenty of room in the back for a bike. Might even be able to sell one to the Citroenian Columnist in the FCF Faithful!

Superb site for a browse...not just French

It's not very far removed from the Citroen Berlingo, I wonder if that was the result of evolving the AX Estate? :-D

If you want to browse through the Citroens only, page down through this selection past the index of many makes.
eg Its a Xsara Picasso but not as we know it.
