Re: Re: TAN: Lyon, France Citadis (was: Re: ugly???)

That damn front end looks like one of the Snow White dwarfs with his hood
up, or Little Red Riding Hood.

Cheesh.

Too bad, the curved side with those big windows and low door openings looks
very sleek.

I think I'm going to go outside and be sick.

Hi All!
I nominate either the Strasbourg abominations, or
the horrors at Lyons as the ugliest cars ever made.
Talk about mobile goldfish bowls............!!!

You haven't seen the weird Citadis thingys that
Melbourne has just bought!

Dave

Okay, gang! you asked for ugly, you got ugly! Here from my collection

is a

picture of a Lyon, France Citadis (related to the Melbourne Citadis only

by

name and builder). I'm told that the Lyon tramway system chose this

front end

to emulate the silkworm, because Lyon is supposedly the World capital of

the

silk industry. [Funny, I thought Japan was, but see, that's how much

*I*

know! <g>] To me, it looks rather like a phallus...YRCH! (Photo by

Bernard

Chatreau.)

Sorry, gang!

After my warning post about non-JPEG attachments, I had to go ahead and

send

a PICT file. My foot is in my mouth, gang, and my face is 13 shades of
red!!!! LOL! Sorry...

Anyway, here is the picture of the Lyon Citadis converted to the proper

JPEG

format.
