Jensen was exactly my first thought as well.

Making it look better than the PO(design)S it’s based on should be easy, but they did a really good job here, not least by getting rid of that godawful. cheapo-looking heckblende in the rear. Too bad they seem to have kept the equally bad-looking headlights.

Even worse than Nissan, it’s also sold as a Renault. Talk about star-brand dilution...

Which is why it looked as fugly as the original. I don’t think the Ares looks strikingly good, but it still is a vast improvement over the fat blob it’s based on.

Exactly.

Three lists and 28 cars and no Citroën SM anywhere? Did I miss a fourth list?

I can get into a solid bold red on a sports car; a deep jet black on a luxury car; or a matte pearlescent white on a high end SUV. All cool.

In many cases, the second article ends up replacing the one I was reading...

I need to do a full refresh (Cmd-Shift-R) for comments to show most days (a simple Cmd-R won’t do anything.) And sometimes, even this won’t help and the comments will remain hidden no matter how many times I yell at my keayboard.

The 4-door fascia combined with the Variant II’s shooting brake rear half makes this one of the georgeousest VWs there were.

Well, I hope the wifi is good from up that horse.

And yet somehow you still pop round, read, and comment?

This is gorgeous on a rarefied scale. The one thing that feels out of place to me is the rear wing thingy. It breaks the roofline in a way that doesn’t seem needed, because otherwise it’d remind me of the 57C.

Funny, I love it too but my first thought wasn’t cleaning, it was paying the repairs in case of a 5mph rear-ending at the red light.

The only way.

Strangely, the only thing I do not like on the first car is that character line over the arch. It feels markedly out of place on such a gorgeous, sleek design (although it was probably needed to keep the sheetmetal stronger, as we know.)

I loved those taillights. The “face” lift gave us ugly and boring ones instead.

You’re lucky this isn’t one, then.

I guess they designed the headlights after visiting the Bugatti factory?
