Not a fan of french cars, but it doesnt look that offensive to me compared to other cars in the same class.

Immediately made me think of the Focus too!

Like said above, four seats and a bulky tin roof means big behind which ruins any sort of balance to the design.

The proportions of the Focus CC are truely woeful. However, if they made it into an El Camino style pick up...

The French seem to over-do the corporate nose IMO. I don't like it, but it's nowhere near as offensive as the Pug RCZ. But I sure Richard-G will be along shortly to advise me that I can't comment about styling, being an A5 owner.

You cant comment on style being a A5 owner hehe

And a tin roof and 4 seats does not have to mean minging, I know im a fanboi and all but the Astra Twintop is much better proportioned:

They all have the same problem - might be because they are all based (loosely) on a hatch - the front is not long enought to conteract the length at the back, and the rears all seem to be the same blunt design.

I have a four seat convertable and in my eyes it is much more balanced - maybe because it started life a a saloon / coupe?

Its not that bad is it? Not for me, but certainly not offensive.

It's not that bad as four seat folding tin tops go, but that's hardly a complement. The old one was marginally nicer.

It looks actually better than their previous efforts and those of other manufacturers. I have to say that given the propensity of manufacturers to provide increasingly small slivers of glass to see out of, convertibles may be the way forward so I can feckin' SEE!!!

I had one as a rental in Italy last month, was alright for a bit of foreign poncing but I'd never dream of having one over here. The TDI engine couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding out of its operating range, so slow uphill hairpins demanded a change to first.

I actually quite like it. Much better than the old one.

The Focus one is just awful though.

I've always been a fan of these actually:
