That's a 'proper' Mk3 Granada.

This is surely the biggest flop. It killed the car.

The Granada/Scorpio isn't a facelift is it? It's a new model, no?

That's not a facelift, it's an entire new model.

The E39 is such a classy shape, much better than the E60.

I wouldn't swap my GP for the new Evo shape even if I was down to make a massive profit. It looks absolutely terrible. Nothing is worth that awful front end.

Strangely, there seems to be lots of people who can't tell what the difference is between a facelift and a new model.

Prefacelift - lovely








Facelift - awful
