Re: New Look ForTwo

Really worried about that bonnet line, looks very pronounced.
I've got a feeling they have made it ugly to conform to American crash safety standards.

Exactly what I thought. I just hope I doesn't look like what it seems to be... Overall, looks like it's an updated 451?

Re: New Look ForTwo

Interestingly I read somewhere (in print iirc) the Twingo won't need an external air intake - but i think the smart still shows one on the prototypes. Pop open rear windows

Re: New Look ForTwo

The 5 door Twingo has been out testing now, with the black and white wallpaper over it. Gives an idea of the size/proportions that the ForFour will be.

It's weird. All the cars I love for the last decade and more get really ugly in their 2014 iteration. Fine, means I prefer what I have. New MINI? Front too big, awful, same for the future Fortwo. Almost like there is an ugliness conspiracy. Ah, there is. Pedestrian safety...

LED side light strips in the lower part of the headlight and still no wing mirror indicators.

Re: New Look ForTwo

The front end sort of reminds me of the Kia Picanto? I could be wrong

Re: New Look ForTwo

Yes, it was a GTR, the bonnets lift forward in a crash and are mega bucks to fix.
I resent being presented an ugly car just because there are stupid people who don't look before crossing the road.

:iagree:



I reserve the right to change my mind when I see the final production vehicle, but for now I'm glad we replaced our mhd with a 450 as it doesn't look like we're gonna miss out on much...

Re: New Look ForTwo

maybe the real shock to some will be that that isn't a cover-up mule, that is how the new panels will look
