Description Grr... When will DA get a Cars category?

No problem; I think this fits in the Commercial group anyway: "Photographs which are shot in a style similar to a product advertisement"

The caption for this would be "Looks fast when it's standing still"

The probe was designed alongside it's cousin, the Mazda MX-6, but was a sales disaster over here in the UK. It's in a very high insurance category despite being "Not that fast" and people laugh at the name all the time. The mandatory UK front licence plate also spoils the look of the front of the car a little.

Still, it's not actually slow, and I think that it's styling is still pretty distinctive 10 years after it was made, especially now that car makers are moving towards sharply angled designs for their newer cars.

The image looks nice. The probe looks pretty cool...but it IS pretty slow considering the fact that a V6 24v engine is available. It's just damn heavy.

Well, both the 16v and 24v versions are underpowered considering their insurance groups.

The 16v is in group 16, the same as a Nissan 200SX, and the 24v is in group 17, like a Mk3 Toyota Supra Turbo.

But what I mean is, they're don't feel slow to drive, I'm not disappointed with the 16v even though my previous car had a 55BHP advantage.
