Now I'm really confused !

Remember the old George Carlin bit where he talks about Deja Vu ( thinking you've seen something before) and then segues into his Vuja De routine ( sh*t you've never, ever seen before)

I wonder which feeling this evokes.......(the new Bugatti 4-door shown at the Frankfurt Auto Show, with a mere 800 HP @ 900,000 British Pounds ).

The Buggati comes with the retro-look T Roof Option

It's all that chrome-costs quite a bit.

I think you mean chromed plastic

I'm not - I don't like either one.

I never thought I'd see another "Premium" 4-door sedan that would actually make the Panamera look stately and majestic but I think Bugatti have pulled it off with their so-called Galabier 16C. To me, somehow the Veyron can get away with all the polished aluminum and over-the-top styling trickery, but the sedan just looks plain tacky (I think). Retro-styling run amock.......8 exhaust tips, a central windshield re-inforcement, and a "gullwing" hood, hinged in the middle ?? I was stunned when I read the other day that they've actually managed to sell 257 Veyrons to date. Now they're talking 300 per annum of these atrocities.......and here we all thought there was a global recession.

I am not ususally a "conspiracy" type, but the similarity in silhouettes between this and the Porsche sedan just has to be more than coincidental...... a little industrial espionage or trading of secrets maybe. It's too uncanny. What the Hell, they're all under one roof now anyway, so to speak.

As an oil sheik once said, "What fun would having all of your money be unless there were baubles such as these to buy with it?".

Methinks that all of this aerodynamic stuff is turning all new car designers into clones of one another...somebody needs to break out of the pack!

Funny - airplanes don't all look alike.

'There is nothing new under the sun'....have always loved this. if you say it once a day, at any point in time, you will find it fits in a myriad of places. truly is a great concept.


as to the car there are just soooo many dull looking yet expensive 4 doors and most look more or less like an old taurus. my honest opinion is the mid 2000's E series benzes are the pinnacle of modern sedan design and there is nowhere to go but down from there. most other sedans seem to have awkward tradeoffs that just don't work. e46 (am i getting that right?) bimmers can look pretty good too. but benz just has their butts kicked all over the place on interior quality.
