Indeed that's my point sparky; and the PGO Cevennes is not a Peugeot kit car either......you Deek (following your odd type of synonym/use of allegro speech)Flanners said:

Hilarious that people are slating this, then extolling the virtues of a British-built, re-bodied VW Beetle, which is easily one of the most crude, antiquated s
tboxes ever built.
While I have no desire to own this, it's hardly deserving of some of the comments. We should be happy that such things exist, not slating every niche vehicle maker out there that doesn't produce the exact car that we would want to buy.

All that effort to make it look retro-chic... and they ruin it with gash wheels.
Even a simple set of Beetle-style wheels would make it look so much better.
You do realise that wheels can be changed, don't you? Hardly a deal-breaker.Even a simple set of Beetle-style wheels would make it look so much better.

A little hypocritical, no?tboxes ever built.While I have no desire to own this, it's hardly deserving of some of the comments. We should be happy that such things exist, not slating every niche vehicle maker out there that doesn't produce the exact car that we would want to buy.
For some reason in the late noughties, the Dealer Principle for the Land Rover dealership that I worked in thought it would be a good idea to start selling PGO's in the showroom. As you can imagine, a two seat mid engined unknown French sports car garnered much interest from the customers who turned up to buy a Discovery.
Answers on a postcard if you can guess how many were sold.

Not really, the Beetle is a car from the 1930s, with technology from the same era. Obviously it has its place in the motoring world, but for people to suggest that such a thing is better than this is slightly ridiculous in reality. They're different cars, most likely bought by different people; one by people that want a 356 but can't afford one, the other by people that want something a bit quirky and different. Neither are wrong, they're just different.What increasingly disappoints me about this forum is that it's supposed to be a place for car enthusiasts to come together but, instead, every thread is filled with people saying something is s
t, just because it's not their preference. It's turning into a long-form version of Twitter.Jon_S_Rally said:

But that's what you did when you referred to the Chesil. And the fact that the Chesil is old technoilogy doesn't necessarily make it a st, just because it's not their preference. It's turning into a long-form version of Twitter.tbox because you don't like it. You may not appreciate classic cars for what they represent, and that's fineIt's also fine for people to not like the Cevennes for what it represents. You can't call a Chesil a stbox and then chastise people for slagging off this PGO. Edited by Doofus on Thursday 8th April 11:41
