Cactus

Yes this is in the right section.The Cactus in question being the name chosen by Citroen for its new addition to the C4 range.Has anyone else seen one?I've seen two so far,one in white with  the rubber/plastic/whatever they're made from panelling in a truly awful shade of brown and the other in metallic green with black panelling.What were they thinking!Were they onsomething illegal when they came up with this one?I'm only sorry I can't do some kind of picture link or something-but I'm sure someone cleverer than I will do so.

That's it that's the one!!!Sad part is someone is going to walk into showrooms and say "OOOH,that's lovely I want one"at which point their guide dog needs retiring!

There are loads of them on the quayside at Sheerness. I don't think they look that bad; at least they're not pretending to be retro like the Mini, Beetle or 500.

I saw a yellow one in the local Citroen dealers when sorting her car out ...... the staff couldn't/wouldn't agree with me when I was less than complimentary on it  ::)

I had that when a salesman asked what I thought of the then new Z4 while I was waiting to deliver a car. My comment that anyone who could cock up the styling of a 2-seater convertible that badly should have his crayons shoved somewhere that he wouldn't want to use them again, didn't go down well!

I quite like it!  :D  :)  Think of all the supermarket car park door dings you won't get, with those cushions on the doors!  :y

The quartic steering wheel is dead. Long live the quartic steering wheel ;D

Must be seventies revival week. Worth noting at this point that the seventies is the only decade that can never be unfashionable for long enough to become fashionable again... ::)

I saw one yesterday in the shopping centre near me. It was ugly to say the least :o

Also it's the only cactus that the pricks go inside rather than out ;D

At least you don't end up with a door covered in dings thanks to the inbred little mongrels in the car next to you at the supermarket..

..because they helpfully covered it in what looks like oversized bubble wrap.
