Xeno III

---

[meerkat]

Well, there's some technical merit no doubt. But come on, seriously, would give a million dollars for it?

Space aged Seven?

Well I guess so.. apart from the looks, the cost and doubtless the performance. Still - good luck to it... it'll need it, as it's almost as ugly as the 340R (I wonder if it'll burst into flames as much?) []

I have always been fascinated by the way designers talk:
"Most logical probability": doesn't this sound like a nonsense? One who has learned Mathematics, even at a basic level, definitely can't say a probability is logic. Or Mr Pugh is an extremely clever Scientific indeed who has come up with very new and innovative Mathematic concepts...?
As for the car, IMO it could be the cross between the Luna Rover and a car taken out of the Mad Max movies.
But the Xeno 2 seems to look quite good!

Funny designer talk? how bout
" this vehicle lacks any sort visual surface cohesion, there are some intersting form devlopments and details but the product as a whole feels imature in design quality."
said by me.....just now.
course what i should have said is
"it looks like a lego kit. and why, for such an advanced vehicle, does it still have a steering wheel(looks like halfords own) on a pole? and autometer superlight gauges? (mind you they are really nice dials!!)and you all though bangle was mad!!

I think that is very likely the most hideous creation I have ever been unfortunate enough to see.

Apologies to the designer and everything.

What a big pile of pants. Looks like an artist's idea of a car, not an engineer's.

And I wouldn't like to be hit by it. It's a bit spiky.

Could you imagine it in a crash test?? It looks like you could feed kids in at one end and get finely ground mince out at the other.

Pathetic, I think is the word I would use for it.

I think this car...thing..(I dont know what to call it!) has the all the good looks of a large bag of t-squares!
