Plausible, considering there was a few years later the XC70 (V70 body but with AWD, increased ground clearance, different bumpers, and a few other modifications).

Usually yes, but I'm thinking of the styling of the car, not the idiot drivers.

I have never experienced so much road-rage or thoughtless driving as I have in Tasmania. They can see you're backing out in the supermarket carpark but they won't wait - they just barge past & hope you don't hit them. Or more probably, being hillbillies, they simply can't see anything outside the 1 degree of sight right in front of them.

Hey, its such a small place with few people they probably aren't used to thinking that there could be other drivers around...

I took a [first] Simca 1200 coupé (Bertone design, iirc) and a [second] Chysler 180 (same manufacturer) to produce an [last] elegant sedan (imho) with structure from Chrysler and aesthetics from Simca.

All constant scale.

and a custom sports-car by Barcroft in Canada which could be a modern take on the old Jensen CV-8

Going back a bit ... bodywork for the Simca 1200S coupé was constructed by Gruppo Bertone (for final-assembly at Poissy). Design work was by Studio Bertone's Giorgetto Giugiaro (just before he moved on to Ghia).

The Chrysler 180 began as competing Rootes and Simca projects. Final design for Chrysler UK was by American Curt Gwinn (who later moved from Rootes to Peugeot).

For your what-if version, perhaps revive the Barreiros marque (instead of retaining the faltering Chrysler name)?

ysi_maniac · « **Reply #42 on:** May 01, 2023, 12:57:44 PM »

AFAIK, Barreiros designed trucks only.

But as spanyard, I like your idea.

If you are looking for absurdly over the top pickups, Hennessey Motor's Velociraptor 6x6 probably takes first prize at "only" a little under $499K. They start with a Ford F-150 Raptor and then mode the daylights out of it. I suppose it's not surprising the company is located in Texas, Sealy, TX to be precise - that's about 60 miles west of Houston on I-10. And if a pickup isn't to your liking, they make a number of other extreme vehicles.
