Maybe there should be a Cruze and a Craptiva alongside as well if we're going down the April Fools road

Haha nice work.

I had to hit refresh though to see it, obviously the image is still in my cache and pulling the old one instead - so if you're not seeing it, F5 on your keyboard or refresh on your browser and you'll see it

Lucky it replaces the GT and not the T3 - the boys in the Tickford section would go spare!

Was just about to say it's only replacing the B series so the built quality and style is about the same. :

“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.
