Default Renault Wind.?

Saw this this today in the passing, no camera/phone handy, looked a bit like CRZ or a VX Tigra.

Have seen one on a daily basis. In weathered black it looks plug ugly, but being dinky and no doubt easy to park with pseudo sportiness due to the folding roof it will appeal to girls, as does the Tigra etc.
Believe me if you're a bloke you don't want to be even seen looking at it.

Not a fan myself.

Not a fan of the Tigra either although I was amused to see you can get them with a cloth covering for the opening tin-top thingy? WTF?

If you'd designed the tin-top bit I'd imagine you'd be a bit demoralised at that.

Saw a broken Twin-Top Astra being driven down the road recently. Looked like a Transformer having a bad day

To be fair, these cars aren't aimed at you. The Ford Streetka was a nice car, but the styling was a little effeminate for most men.

I still think the Nissan Figaro was the ultimate interpretation of such cars and the draught-free coupe-cabrio (as demonstrated by the FIAT 500) deserves something of a comeback.
