At least it's something ugly that Bangle didn't design. ;)

Note to self, add to top 10 list of why you should be ashamed for being Dutch ;D

I always wanted one of those old Opel coupe. Happy memories from my Guernsey years.... 8)

Post by: Andy Zarse on March 02, 2006, 02:23:31 pm: Unbelievable!! I have seldom seen anything like it. What would it say about the lack of taste of anyone who bought this vehicle? Spyker deserve to go bust just for thinking about this naked, yet pathetic, attempt to cash in on the SUV craze. They should concentrate on getting the sportscar to work first. Shame on them.

PS Which folk on here voted that it's not ugly?? ???

It's not pretty in an aesthetic way but more in the sense that it's outstanding in the mass of all other SUVs. Then again, show me one pretty SUV.

It's THE super poser SUV. Still, you probably need more courage than money to drive it.

And... I like the name. ;D

OK - I will admit to one vote for not ugly... I made allowances for the round tail lights (see above) and the seat sliders, black is a good paint choice and i really didnt find the rest objectionable.... in fairness - there is no excuse for the colour beige in car interiors, clothing, personality or anywhere else! :P
