What's happenning to that car? Is it melting?

If it is melting, it's certainly not because it's a hot design.

I had to photoshop out part of the answer from the foreground but most of this pic is how the car is supposed to look. Really.  :yuck:

Really bad - I agree!

Fiat Uno & Golf basis connection? No

Asian One-off?

Post by: Quiller on November 10, 2008, 06:14:33 PM
Not Asian, and it was actually offered for sale as a production car (although one questions who bought one?)

Wow, this one's bugging me.  It is Fiat Panda/Lancia Y10 based, and built by a young Swiss guy, but based in St Julien en Genevois in France, just on the French border just near Geneva.  If only I could remember the name!!

Aha, Sir Quiller, I think I can finally put this one to rest.  It is a CYX Prototype T6, to give it its full name, as displayed in a dark forgotten corner of the Geneva Show in March 2000.  As I said all those months back, it was based on a Fiat Panda and made just a few kilometers from the Swiss border in France.

Indeed! If I could give you CyxT6 points, I would  ;)

I've not seen anything. But there is a pic of another car made by this company, under a different name ... (maybe for a later puzzle)
