Cutting edge design!

Spotted by 406cc member 'hassle' in Australia today:

Think it says something when a 12 year old car is still used in depictions of the cutting edge of design :D


Man, I need to change my signature image from 2 cars ago... :oops: :lol:

It's actually to do with boring legal stuff, when advertising stuff like that you can't depict a car that's currently available for sale on the market. If you show a picture of a current 407 coupe you would be 'associating' that brand with the construction of a supermarket etc etc etc....... :|

Welly's just jealous :P

I could swear the current TV adverts feature a couple who drive a 307 though?

Do you want me to take a photo of my car with something Australian? :P

Oh and they filmed the international 407 ad in Sydney too - "Playtime is Over" - Couple of blocks up from where I work in the city! :cheesy:

Yes please!

Toyed with the idea of getting one, but they are still too expensive. 30k buys a pretty rough early one - 50k isn't unheard of for the last of them! Gorgeous cars though - Parents have a the 4 door version of it...
