Hah! Didn't even notice that!
That's strange…
Can't say I've seen that model before. Then again, I'm not too familiar with Citröen models. It does sort of remind me of another car (not a Citröen one), but I can't seem to remember which.
On a side note; I do have a soft spot for yellow and orange cars. Not that many cars suits it, but some older cars can look really good in orange or yellow.
Sounds nice, looks ugly.
Yes! Has to be the right sort of car (it suits something quirky, like a VW Beetle, 2CV or Mini).
That reminds me: the cinema up the road from me did a 50th anniversary screening of The Italian Job on Sunday and got hold of some Minis to park outside.
Indeed, yellow go really well with those cars.
That's cool! Wish my local cinema would do screenings of old movies. They've never done that, I t think.
Yeah. But someone ought to update the Gotham TV series page.
I stopped watching it after season 3, but the city stuck in time & old cars are so cool.

Your quest is over.

The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera '19. I would rather see that in Bond, than the Valhalla.
Yeah I'm not keen on the DB11. It has presence, but it's a rather brutish looking car in a slightly ugly way. I prefer Astons looking elegant, but now they just all look like bodybuilders.
It's also not terribly nice to sit in. If I was spending all of that money on it I'd want it to be nicer.
Alec Baldwin is John Delorean!
I agree, I remember being a kid and loving the DB7 for its elegance. It was the reason why I started to love the Astons. Now they seem to want to appeal to a more nouveau riche type of person.
Or they just finally changed their style a bit and need to find new customers.
Mind you, I absolutely adore everything from the DB7 until the previous V8 Vantage, but you cannot keep on making (slight) varations of the same design.
They just need to be in the right spec. I've seen a black one just the other day, all dirty and with a cream interior filled with paperwork, empty cigarette boxes and a pair of shoes. And it really disappeared. I guess that's the main difference from the old Astons. If an old DB4 was left in the same conditions, it still would be the prettiest car on the street. So yeah, I get where you guys are coming from.
I've always had a thing for the eighties Austin-MG's...
I agree on this one, it is very pretty. Also liked the V12 Vanquish, the DB9 and the DBS.
Have a look at this wonderful 1303 convertible from 1978:
The one I saw was black as well, perhaps it's just the wrong colour. In all these publicity shots it has some really beautiful classic lines, but seeing it stand there, there wasn't much left of that.
Taking the Virage I was talking about earlier in the same colour:
I think it's fair to say the Virage still is the better looking car.
The Austin is not my thing, I love the old beatle. Then again, I loved the Herbie films as a kid
The Virage is beautiful, but it's still a varation of the same old theme. AM would've been gone if everything stayed the same.
And it's still far from saved.

Oh sure, I didn't mean they should stick to the same design, just commenting on the current model. Am have done better. Not that I find the '11 ugly, far from it. And Iove the aerodynamics they used to prevent using a spoiler.
Bristol is a fascinating brand. Reminds me of the old Peugeots, just a bit more cumbersome.
Yeah, like this 504 coupé ;)
