When a Citroen just won't work, because you don't want a hatchback.

Am I crazy, or is this a 1993-1996 Cadillac Fleetwood? Like I know it isn’t, especially from the other pictures. But look at that first 3/4 picture and tell me someone didn’t just try to make a Cybepunk-style custom out of one of these.

The roofline, tumblehome, windshield angle, and the shape of the front door window are uncanny.

That had to be from their "Car Designer for a day" initiative 🤣. Proper bottom of the barrel design

Oh, boy, you're not wrong!

Absolutely plug-fugly, but still charming and cool in a way that only something from that period could be. Ultimately, it's two (or possibly three) cars bolted together - a quite attractive Maserati-esque front third and then an abrupt shift of style, akin to something Citröen might've come up with in a fever dream.

The side profile isnt even that bad lol.

And its wankel engined so that automatically makes it cool.
