There was a major shock on the SUBARU stand as the company revealed its B11S concept car. Whilst the respected Japanese manufacturer hoped to stun the world with a radial new design direction most onlookers were more shocked by the apparent revelation that the company has finally run out of blue paint. 'Don't worry, we've got some on back order,' whispered a company sauce, sourcily. Meanwhile, senior designer Mitchiko Tikitaki explained the influence of newly appointed chief stylist Andreas Zapato, whose previous work includes a kind of large moustache: 'Andreas arrived at the company as work progressed on the B11S,' Tikitaki revealed. 'Naturally he was keen to get involved in the look of the car but unfortunately he got a bit carried away and broke the key piece of equipment Subaru uses to style all its cars; the ugly stick. Fortunately before it was irreparably snapped we were at least able to use it on the nose of the car.'
'Excellent,' smiled British designer Steven Peters. 'I'll expect a call soon then.'
