The Rolls-Royce Camargue was never a looker... Time has done nothing to diminish its ugliness.

Always thought that the Camargue could have been sorted, looks-wise, by some decently sized rear lights and rear wheels that were of an interesting alloy design, and twice the width?
A shame because otherwise I actually think the shape has become more.....er.....interesting.
Rig, now I've got that off my chest I'll just sit back and wait for the men with the rubber ambulance to arrive ??

Surely someone SOMEWHERE had a pink one of these?!

No? Blimey, what a missed opportunity!

Not sure why, but when I see how awkward this is;



I realise how good this is;



A bit like like the awkward time at a wedding when you realise the bridesmaid is sooo much cuter than the bride....

My ownership of coupes is like a vintage wine; it gets better with age. None of the cars in the pics were mine but did own one at some point in my driving career. The Alfa is still one of the prettiest coupes out there, especially in V6 Cup guise...

Have we had this yet.

And how exactly is a Laguna Coupe' "awkward looking"?

Funnily enough, I saw one of these yesterday in that colour, and it did look quite awkward.

Always loved these but only modified. Look very awkward standard.

And there were these awful things. All of the weirdness of the 74-78 AMC Matador coupe but totally devoid of creativity or intrigue.

I know what you mean, I always liked them but found the design unbalanced until I was reading an article in Performance Car magazine about modified cars (1993 maybe?), and I have wanted a Corrado with an Oettinger kit ever since. Never found one

A 120Y coupe was my first car, and every time I see an X6 (yes I know it's a four door), they remind me of the 120Y.

Can't find a picture to upload with a file size small enough.

People love posting non coupe's.

Coupe or marketing ploy? But the one with the GTI 6 engine is fast, I very nearly bought one but thought better of it

I really like the Camargue.

Makes you wonder how they got the facelift so wrong, as the phase 1 cars were nice looking things and very 'Citroen'.
