I honestly didn't know about this car, but for the looks alone it's uncool.

A crap car launched under a crap brand that didn't need to come back.
 
I gave it a Meh because I don't care about this car at all. It doesn't even deserve SU, it is such an uninteresting car.
 
We've reached peak Gallic autos:censored:e.

I admittedly have a soft spot for Euro-Chryslers but no Talbot made during the Chrysler/PSA years, bar the Sunbeam Lotus (and maybe the late Rancho), can be considered cool.
 
It was probably a thing back in its day. Today, though? Incredibly generic. It does look a bit nice, but generic as you won't believe. And so we have a rating for such vehicles- Meh.
 
My first thought was that it looks like a bad Volvo 740 copy made by Lada. And that's very far from a good thing.

Yeah, I definitely see the Volvo resemblance. Volvos just, you know, pull it off much better.

It does pre-date the 740 by a couple of years though.

I really liked it when it was released, being quite futuristic but it has aged badly. I think overall I will give it a meh.
