I quite like it,a 288 GTO lookalike for 308 money.

I don't know what I'm supposed to be seeing, but that looks bloody nice to me!

I love the 308 - it is a car from my childhood.
I love the 288 GTO - it is a car from my youth.

Both are now rare enough to be revered and preserved and I find this just a little bit sacrilegious.
Might be an age thing...

I love that. It has a flavour of Stratos in it. I wish I could afford it.

Sounds a bit underwhelming though, doesn't it?

I keep looking at it. If it were marketed as simply an upgrade to a 308 it'd be fine but trying to look like a GTO is rather sad. I might be tempted to put the original mirrors back on, finish off the will (doesn't look right) and then do some engine work on it. I'm not bothered about originality - in fact it looks ripe for some headwork and fuel injection.
