Perodua Kelisa - oh this was a brilliant luagh watching JC smashing it with a sledge hammer, right outside the dealership for dealers/mechanics to watch

There was another car destroyed, but this one was falsely judged so we shall ignore it in this post...

posting images you got from a google image search is a little more difficult. Make sure you remove the part of the address relating to google images.

It can only have been destroyed for being butt ugly as the mechanicals were sound. It seems the Kelisa by Perodua seems to have included some scorpio styling cues. Namely a chrome grille to make it appear 'prestige' :D and some googly headlights :shock: . Also as with the scorpio it appears that nobody has bothered to do anything at all to the middle bit of the car. So; front ugly, back ugly, inbetween just plain dull!

The thing I find unfair about this is, when you consider awfulness such as the Citroen XM, Peugeot 605 and Renault Safrane, the Scorpio is actually a pretty good car comparitively speaking! Infact so is a Rover 800! Also, just look what you get behind the 'googly' headlights in a Scorpio 8)

Another good thing about the Scorpio is when you are inside driving it, you can't see the outside... inside its as comfortable as a BMW 5 series, and there are plenty of electronic toys about :D

The car driven by those crazy people at Greenpeace... which probably did more damage to the environment than any of those sunken oil tankers.

renault safrane have you driven one because they are awesome ask scotty about my dads one we went to the gp in

as for the 2cv we wouldnt have cars like we have today as this car revolutionised the industry

[ford_fanatic]

The Safrane was, quite easily, the best of the 'executive' French cars... but the Scorpio was still better :P
