Title: New HPE Integrale
Post by: fensaddler on 01 December, 2007, 11:23:31 PM
Looking at the same website as the new Thema pictures were on, I spotted this.  Its the first time I've seen any of the Delta HPE sketches look anything like being a retro version of my Delta, which was originally mooted.  If they are likely to use any of these styling cues on the cooking Deltas for launch next year, I will be rather pleased - I like the way the rear light clusters echo the original, for example.

If a new Delta looked anything like that I would be really interested.

With a steering wheel that shape and a what are clearly bucket seats would this also be a return to rallying?

if it were to look anything like that they wouldn't be able to make them quick enough.Just tremendous.

But we always all immediately know what looks fantastic and then they promptly tone it down and make it drab and efficient to produce. I won't hold my breath waiting for this gorgeous version...("more's the pity" I hear the distant cries..)

Just took a quick dekko, and for a moment I thought I was on "Pimp My Ride"  ;)

the point is that whilst it won't be everybodies cup of tea I think its pecisely the "full on" look that will be desired by the market it is aimed at.

the lancers and imprezzas are also not hiding their light under the bushel don't forget. faint heart never one fair lady.

I'm in wicked pedantic mode. Is that "Faint heart never won fair lady" or "Faint heart, never one fair lady"?
