capngrog 884 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 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 4 Link to post Share on other sites

joe_padavano 1,847 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 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. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

GregLaR 2,543 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 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 post Share on other sites

Scott Bonesteel 98 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 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. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

58L-Y8 1,871 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 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 post Share on other sites

Terry Bond 1,841 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 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!
