The good news is this has been photoshopped but I'm not sure to what extent the sheer

Certainly looks like the rebuilt remains from an accident between a Cx saloon,
a Renault 25 and a Wild Western 'outhouse'. Whatever, it's truly awful.

The French are well known for using old cars as chicken shed, but that CX abomination is taking things to a new level!

Different it is. And cool as in . . . ?
A grossly failed attempt at blending American car design of the fifties and French creativity (almost) half a century later.

Thank heavens they only invented colour in the the 60's then! :P

I suppose there'd be little chance of anyone stealing the car even with the keys in
and the engine running! They'd pass out after 200 yards...
