Richard Bremner, one of Car magazine's most insightful and witty writers said, "It looked like a Fiat 130 seen through the bottom of a beer glass."

The ludicrously large, self-parodying grille could have been a refugee from Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds, the sister car to Lady Penelope's glass-roofed, six-wheeled pink Rolls-Royce. Bremner's parting shot was, 'Luckily, less than 500 were built, and most of these went to the land that loves bad taste.'
