I don't know if anyone has seen this but it was a surprise to me.

Do not like it at all. Bloody awful. The mods would edit out any more of my opinions than that.

May as well ask for a truck bed and then dump bed.

Steven you just lost some rep saying you liked that bastardization of a great automobile.

Ask me if i care what you think.

Ok, seriously, i do find it interesting. The craftmanship looks quite good, though i'd opt out of their logo. Have you ever needed the storage of an estate car while 'hickhiking' through Europe, etc? There have been two times having the GTC allowed me to transport more than normally possible due to lowering the roof to access rear seat storage. I love Grand Touring and that means drive and go to..... anywhere that looks like a good direction. So... yeah i kinda like that modded car.

Will you still respect me in the morning?

I can respect that you are you and I am me. We can differ and not fall out.

Now listen here bud I tour on a motorcycle so the GTC boot is a cavernous endless space. If I need more room I'll pull a trailer behind an F250.

You see I think practical can only go so far. Think about your choice of woman to wife. If she was bigger than you she could carry all your stuff and protect you in a fight. If she was terribly ugly then no man would ever threaten to flirt with her. If she smelled worse than a skunk you would fear no animal in the woods and on and on. You are with no such woman even if were practical on some level. Lets keep the wives and the bentley beautiful and on purpose.

The F250 is a great truck! 100% agree there.

(Looks ashamed) You know, you are right. Do miss having a few 'purpose-built' vehicles like years ago. You are indeed a lucky man!

Let me make my position even more clear that the last post.

The Conti GT is a sleek and powerful sexy cat like automobile. That other creature is a fat ugly rhinoceros.

One of my dental assistants wonders why they don't just go ahead and add the wood panels on the sides.
