I'm a little sceptical about the car 'even driving like a limousine' as claimed. It looks lovely, (in theory!) but it's still a f *cking Micra!! ;D ;D

Personally I think they look bloody awful. It doesn't look balanced at all.... could have at least lowered the roof a few inches or something...yeeeuuugh!

Come to think of it, it is a little out of proportion. And for the price of converting one into that you could have a tidy, real, rear wheel drive Daimler 250 V8 equipped mk 2 Daimler model mk 2. And, as I said before,
ITS A F*CKING MICRA!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I mean it's a dull newer Micra. I'm not disputing whether there's anything wrong with Micras, just that they are clearly not designed to drive like limousines, and no amount of replication of panels can make them. In the same way, I woudn't dress up an Imp and call it a Bentley.
Alright then...
ITS A F*CKING MODERN MICRA!! ;D
Howsat?? ;D
or...
IT'S AN INFERIOR REPLICATION OF A NICE OLD CAR USING A TOTALLY DIS-SIMILAR F*CKING BASE CAR!!, but that isn't as catchy! ;D

I'm getting the feeling that most don't care for the "Sales & Marketing Design -who-the-hell-needs-a-real-designer Boards" retro-inspired lines?  |

Come on... It's not that bad !!! I think it looks rather nice...
On the other hand, I drive a BX, so what do I know about car styling ;D ;D ;D

But they did do at least one cool thing with the Micra. I very nearly bought a Figaro a few years ago:  Proper retro design. Very clever little thing. Looked good, it was loaded and it was pretty fast too - 1litre micra lump (8v) again, but with a turbo and auto box. Although it was based on the K10 square shape micra, so at least there was no jelly mold body to work around. |

My girlfriend is a bit of a Figaro fan,.. she found a fantastic cream coloured Fiagro Turbo on ebay a while ago,.. top notch!! Would really like one,.. they look like such a funky town car. Then again her Sciecento is a top notch drivers car as well |

I must say I like the Figaro too. Ahead of its time with the whole retro styling thing that's going on now (BMW Maxi Mini, VW Beetle...)
