Default MG Rexton ?

I love stuff like this, the hidden stuff that happens behind closed doors and never sees the light of day.

I think this looks OK myself,



Apparently the security guards at longbridge still use the prototype as a daily hack.
Personally i think it looks nicer then the car it was based on



Probably drove like utter ****e, i think the basic Sassoyong (sp??) Rexton was considered pretty crap

Some more in development pics



I love how they basically make the dev cars the way people mod ebay bodykits










I wonder what SAAb has been getting up to behind closed doors?
We may find out in a year or so it seams these companies will try all sorts of crazy things as a last ditch attempt to bring in some cash while sinking.

Oh my God.

I'm assuming not long after, the designer (if you could call him that) blind designer more like, was either:-

A) Shot.
B) Commited suicide.

EDIT.
Probably laid next to the grave of the idiot who designed the "Bug-eye". And soon to be followed by the guy who suggested a hatch back Impreza is the way to go.

It does look a bit like a Bugeye concept car with a bit of extra chintz on top
