Coupe Watch
Posted in Idling on 09/11/2007 07:59 am by foolhandyI’m an open top man, but my head can be turned by any type of car - I just couldn’t imagine owning them. I was quite excited by the scoop shots of the new Renault coupe, and whilst the reality is slightly less dramatic it’s still a fine looking car. Here’s the Renault Laguna coupe…
Also released recently is the Peugeot 308 RC Z, which is a concept apparently heading for production. I’m not an enormous fan of Peugeot’s current design direction (the 407 coupe is a Basking Shark) and from some angles this is a bit ungainly with its very long boot, but again it’s a very striking design…
Finally, this is from Kia - the Kee. It’s got some great detailing - the lights and side window shape in particular. It’s also got some nice surfacing. Very impressive, especially as it’s a Kia.
I hope they all make production is a form as close as possible to these forms. Not so I can dream of owning them, but so I can ogle them when I’m driving along with the roof down…
