Take a look at this *manufacturer's* video of the new C-Max, to be shown at Frankfurt.

Look closely at the "radiator" grille and see if you can see what I see. Not as if anyone's going to be scrutinising the details of a new product at launch, is it??

Muppets.

Is the answer that it's NOT stuck on properly? Then going by the second clip, is it any wonder that it's like that.

ETA the not bit in.

It's more the fact that the press videos (fair enough, not the spy shots as it's only a mule) are going to be *poured* over by the likes of us lot.

Did someone at the photoshoot not notice or not have the guts to call a halt until it was sorted out?

When it zooms on the front grille (with badge) the LHS and RHS of the chrome don't line up with the bonnet shutline. Look harder and the LHS doesn't seem to be located properly...

Really a biggie?

When the camera rotates round, you can see the driver's side of the grille is hang off the front of the car by a couple of inches.

It's not a biggie in the grand scheme of things, but you really do think poeple would notice something like that on a model that will be poured over by the press.

Now I see it! That's rubbish!

Funny how you can't see things when you're looking too hard!
