Interesting stuff as always.

Those pastel coloured press shots are horrific! Who thought that was a good idea? :lol:

Becoming the "British Lamborghini" is quite pertinent, luxury automaker backed by a German behemoth...

Those are my thoughts too. The "pastel Lambourghini" is an interesting niche!

Well, if you were Bond would you really want to be seen driving an SUV?

I'll not pretend I wouldn't mind a 2.5T wagon should I have a real need for a large car again....

2CV is immensely cool in a horrible French car sort of way.

It wasn't even that. It was a hand built car because the Mondeo IV hadn't entered commercial production yet, and so actually was 'incomplete' in a couple of areas apparently. Press cars were later.
