Bugatti Galabier 16C
Front engined W16 with two superchargers. No power or weight quoted yet.

Nay, nay and thrice nay.
The shape doesn't offend too much (though I'd stop some way short of stating that I like it), but the chromed sides are jocular.

OMG, this time Mansory have really sunk to new lows with their Bentley Continental GT customisation programme!!!!!!
Let's hope the exhaust pipes never make production reality at least.

Re: Bugatti Galabier 16CJust so happens we might be looking for a practical five-door hatch to replace the wife's Focus Zetec.

'Lots' and 'lots'. That's my guess.

The chrome is awful.
And I thought it was going to be called Bordeaux.

The chrome is awful, but presumably not the only finish available. The rear is incredibly clean and uncluttered (apart from the exhausts, obviously). VW obviously contracted out the side window styling to another German manufacturer.

Hmmm.
I could see myself in one of those.

It's a blinged Panamera.

A vile car with a terrible name.
I presume that's pronounced " Gay Labia"?

I'm sure the interior will be exquisitely crafted, but it's an aesthetic nightmare, especially in a cross between Allegro dog-turd brown and hearing aid beige.

I think there used to be an old Bugatti with a similar name.

The design is horrid. The wood is dubious. The leather colour is, however, very nice.
Black leather in cars is deeply overrated unless you have small children.

That is vile. Makes a Panamera look lithe & pretty.

I think in black with better wheels that would be quite tasty. It reminds me of the Jag Diesel teaser concept thing from a few years ago.
The interior with Piano black bits, and a black dash/wheel and something less pretentious on the TV would be good too.

Opel?
I only have 2 words to say about the subject matter and I'd appreciate you reading them syllable by syllable for emphasis. Fucking hideous!

I have to say the two views in the first pics are awful.
But I like the front 3/4 pic, and I like the style of the interior, but I do not, empahatically not, like the colour inside it. It just looks like someone's stretched a Renault dash a bit, to fit. And then plonked some ill-matched wood on top.
It'll be a Rolls Royce for me, then.

They appear to have fitted a small doorway in the front. New pedestrian safety regs?

Looks like a Panamera rearending a 1 series, with detailing by an eight year old.

I really like it. I'd not have the Pur Sang bling finish, though.

I think I'm with Matt, Phil and Swill on this: in a more subtle colour, with less bling wheels (and exhausts), I reckon that would look lovely. Likewise the interior in a different wood/leather combo - I like minimalist dashboards.

I'm sure you've a point about black, but that would feel like driving around in a Werther's original.

I reckon a very pale leather (like the classic Ferrari colour) and something like birds-eye maple would be just the thing.

Sort of retro-futuristic art deco - I kinda like the overall interior design but have reservations about the wood.
The front end seems very ungainly in that pic - especially in comparison to the smooth rear end.
Anyone else notice the exhausts though.....8 of them FFS!

Going to be just the thing for shouldering the hoi-poloi in their smaller, lesser vehicles (like Phantoms) out of the way without even noticing.
It looks mahooosive.
