    Citroen, roosting in the ugly tree!

    This is one FUGLY machine!

    The only way this could be uglier is for it to go into production!!! Can you imagine two or more of these on the road???

    I wonder if it's like the old (mid 50s)Citroens that had that adjustable suspension system that allowed you to change a tire without a jack? Citroen had some innovations that were far ahead of there time. It looks like it took them about 60 years to discover butt ugly.

    ETA Maybe an appropriate name is the FUGLY.

    What do you expect? It is French, don't you know. And, besides, is it any uglier than the Fiat Multipla, which was actually manufactured?

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    "Ugly" is in the eyes of the beholder. I think this concept car has a degree of charm. Just imagine it with 30 antennas, and weather wacker gear. Marvelous!

    It looks like it should have a jet engine in it; that "grille" looks like one hell of an air scoop.

    That would be neat, but I couldn't use it. I don't speak French.

    You don't need to. Just use it, never wash it, and let it stink.
