Fugly

I agree 100%.   I can't see how they can go ahead with that
monstrosity......especially as it hasn't even got door bars like
the original had. Soon be a few peops loosing their arms/legs
if it rolls or gets too close to another car/lorry.

It looks like someone decided to decapitate a car for a laugh and chose the fortwo ,

Or , maybe someone just wanted to chop up a fortwo because it's ugly , and then decided it was just to much effort  .

On looking a second time (and just about managing not to be sick !)  :-\
it looks like it's been pulled off halfway down the production line !

If it was all one colour it might not be as ugly..... :(
but still ugly nonetheless.  ::)

Urrumm... Not sure I do or don't like it. Definitely doesn't feel finished.

What I am especially concerned by is the towing eye hooks obviously in the front. Are they runners? Guess not.

the least they could have done was to have had matching orange
interior....and perhaps had the edges of he rims colour coded...
It just looks like they hadn't got any black front panels around
so they slapped orange one's on in a hurry.
The colours don't flow like they do/did on the original Crossblade.

But you know what ...people will buy them like this...because
they're different. Young people only mind.  Older one's will
have more sense. (except perhaps Brabs...LOL)

I know it is a fortwo but it does look like the firefighters have removed the roof.

Yup - it's defo a crossblade

No ingenious design steps taken here.

If you don't like the new fortwo you won't like the crossblade version.

It's no different to the original - just on the not so pretty fortwo
