I`m sure there are many more examples. Low cost airlines are even worse! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have a poor copy of a Mercedes grille, the side profile attempted copy of a focus with a camper crashed into the back, Granada lights all on a set of ⅔ scale wheels! That’s got the cohesiveness of design of a class 70! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
