If you’re the type who enjoys a ‘quirky’ car and actively seeks out silly things in silly colors, I can’t blame you for feeling disheartened these days. Manufacturers can’t branch out and make something ‘off the beaten track’ for fear of upsetting stockholders and alienating customers who just want a nice, safe, beige box to go about their beige business in. Upsetting the villagers isn’t in the ‘win at building cars’ playbook. Unless, of course, you’re French. On a planet full of people pumping out variations on a theme, France is also doing that but having some fun at the same time.
