New Look ForTwo

[TallOrder]

Apologies if this has been seen on here already (I did do a search but didn't find anything), but does anyone know if this is genuine or is it another case of "image fakery" to show how it "might look"?

They way every new version grows a bonnet I reckon by the fifth iteration it will have the proportions of an E-Type.
And the original one-box shape is still way superior.

The back end must surely still be that of the mule? Otherwise they are losing out on a hell of a lot of (needed) boot space.

There are proper body prototypes of the 453 out and about, no need to resort to cut & shut mule pics!

the original will always be an icon, but the reason the bonnet has 'grown' is for pedestrian safety.
