I think Citroen should have a go. Imagine what they could do with a Picasso.

Actually, Citroen have a good pedigree of innovation in car design but I can just picture their F1 driver last to pull away on the green lights because he's waiting for his car to rise up.

Also, my younger brother had a new Saxo quite few years ago and one day a strong gust of wind almost ripped the door off! It severely buckled the front wing. Obviously they forgot to try it in the wind tunnel facing the other way.
