What's the equivalent of the Citroen C6 or the Renault Avantime today?

It doesnt have to be French, it does have to be reasonably priced, and it'll probably suffer severe depreciation in the first year ( all years) because most people dont get it

But PHers will smile

+1 for the cactus as the bubble doors seem like a brilliant idea to me considering the way some 'tards park without giving a fk whose car they dink... currently I'm the chap parked by himself at the far end of the car park lol! (I don't know if they suffer severe depreciation or not though, if they do I'm up for one soon then).

There was the Plymouth Prowler at the top end the scale
Must be something that a main stream manufacturer has made a mistake in their marketing strategy

Cactus says to me I am a bad at parking and therefore need a quilt on my car to protect the paintwork.

The poor spatial awareness will no doubt be down to the sea-sickness one gets from actually driving it.

Horrible, fetid turd of a car.

laugh I suppose it's a start
Is it quite in the same league as a C6 or an Avantime?

Or, I realise everyone else is poor at parking so I'll make it harder for them to mark my car...

Everything from the Subaru range?

Peugeot 508 seems to be going the way of most big French saloons, almost zero sales but I think it has a decent amount of presence on the road, and at least it can't be confused with a Peugeot 408 or 608 which are photocopied cars on +-5%
