I don't know. She's not bad looking. But if you ask me, her *** is too big.

I usually don't like the 'retro' look. But, this one I do.
The pure side view, from a low angle, has a Ford GT 40 look to it. How'd that happen?

Alan

Now that's what the newer generations should have looked like.


It does resemble a GT40 too, Nothing wrong with that.

It took a minute to soak up the concept and the more I saw, the more I liked.

I liked the Daytona-style stripe and having the sail panels draws the C3 coupe profile right in. The idea that headlights revert back to hidden is great. That's the one feature of C6's I've never warmed up to: blah.

Imagine what the performance envelope would deliver on skid pad, road track or quarter-mile? Damn sexy car.

Downsize the side grills and it would be perfect!

I like it a lot. This once again goes to prove that the C3 is a timeless design! I do agree that the *** is a bit too tall but overall it's beautiful. I still prefer the shape of the original C3 headlight openings. These look like a C5.

That would make me re-think my current habit of ignoring the new ones.

0% financing?

I usually don't get excited by current car models, but this is just gorgeous. I hope it doesn't get made, though, because I would not look forward to asking the wife for the $60K it would probably cost.
