I like it! Get over the Ovlov 480-ness of it and it looks really smart. I was thinking Smart Roadster coupe too.

As for other shooting brakes:

I nearly had a fit when I saw one of these in the flesh, in a petrol station in London. An estate Ferrari! Madness!

so for me thats not a bad thing at all (blue interior or not!!)
like I originally said "cool we need more of this!"
what do girls know anyway


But why one earth would you want to try and make a car look like the god awful volvo 480?

Sure the P1800 is a decent looking car, but saying that the 480 is the modern (20 years ago) version of the P1800, is an insult to the P1800. Lets face it there is nothing even remotely attractive about a 480.



I Agree, it's ugly as sin (both the volvo and this photochop)... when I had my mr2 site some years ago I had a 'transformations' section with loads of photoshops in (from other people better at it than me), my personal fave was Brian's MRS4 which was a mk3 fused with a mk1 roof which transformed the 'lack of shape convertible' into a great looking *MID* engined car.

ok.. a quick search on wayback found this:

and the rest of the mock/chops here - click the pictures to see more pics (even if the pic doesn't show):

though not all of them seem to be showing. The site is dead now ( I think I last updated it in 2003 and then let the domains die).

For those that don't want to click here's some more from the site (most of them are pretty wacky/ugly/Crappy - mainly the ones I did ;) )
