2004 FTO? wtf?

Postby goz_83 » Thu Nov 24, 2011 11:06 am

Did they not stop making them in 2000? This one looks really strange. And its LHD. Some kind of replica?

Maybe dondeal doesn't have eclipse in the car list so the closest would be fto l suppose.
They are only LHD and the new model looks deadly.

It looks so similar. I thought "it must be a different car", or "it's a replica/kit". Not a fan of the front bumper.....looks a bit harsh.

Looks like a bit of a Hyundai coupe to me.
Seen a few in the flesh. There is always one at the Texaco in Finglas and they look nice up close

The wheels dont exactly look on the small side and there is still a chuuuge gap between the tyre and quarter panel.
Id say it handles like it looks, cheap.
