I was parked yesterday next to one in Northampton. Not my style, looks like an old Granada Scorpio for 2010.

It is however an unusual idea and a niche. Expensive though!

The ugliness was driving away from Kibworth today.
Dead on the scorpio look!

I thought the X6 was fugly too.

In contrast, I saw one in my local dealer on Saturday, thought it was a fantastic car. Loved the pillar less doors, the dash was quite cool too, and seemed very nicely made. I wasn’t sure from the pics I’ve seen of it, but in the flesh .

It’s a HUGE car though, the sales chap was telling me it’s based on a platform of a 7, not a 5. Could be a replacement for my 530 in a couple of years time.

This one had 20 inch wheels on, and looked perfectly normal, not sure how it would look with anything less (Can’t believe I’m admitting that less than 20 inch wheels maybe inadequate).
