capngrog Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I think the multi-door Porsche looks pretty good; the "re-imagined" Jaguar E-Type, not so much (I'm being charitable here). Cheers, Grog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_padavano Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Just because someone has Photoshop doesn't mean that they should use it. And sorry, but "Porsche truck", "Alfa Romeo truck", "Maserati truck", "Mustang truck", etc are all oxymorons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Good Heavens! Just because you can, doesn't mean... Unless maybe they ordered a fleet of these Jagwagons, cut the roofs off and used them as part of a bizarre safari type tourist ride where they could cruise around their former colonies to show other colossal British failures. A catchy name name like "The Dick Rowe Memorial Safari Ride" might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Bonesteel Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 If my King's English is correct, taking it from a two-door coupe to a four-door makes it a 'saloon', which is where it looks like it was designed, after a wee dram or two...As noted above, just because you can doesn't mean you should. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 In the design process, sometimes one has to work out terrible ideas just to get them out of one's system, to see how truly bad a design idea can work out. I suspect this fellow felt much better once he saw how horribly bloated is the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Bond Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Are you sure somebody didn't photo-shop this by crafting part of an MGBGT on a Jag and then stretching it? Is ground clearance such a problem they had to raise it up to make it look even more ridiculous? I guess being locked up at home is having a mental impact on some designers!

Well, not really a "love child" but an "oops child" that was never really loved much and became a sword swallowing circus performer out of spite, then went on to become a D-list actor in sci-fi flicks about zombie octopi invading Mars.
