Fiat Ulisse / Lancia Zeta based? I.de.A.?

[@re]

I'll repeat the fact that we normally appreciate if one question is asked in each post, not more.

I.DE.A had nothing to do with this. Fiat/Lancia did, however, but it is not entirely correct to say that it is based on any of the two mentioned cars...

I'll give you 24 hours to narrow it down!

Which means: Nobody else tries to guess this puzzle until the time limit is up.

french plates would indicate that it's a matra creation...

Heuliez proposal for the Eurovan?

[@re]

French plates would not indicate that, I'm afraid. And Heuliez had nothing to do with it.

Peugeot 806 design proposal?

[@re]

Not a Peugeot 806 design proposal.

[ImpishGrin]

Peugeot 807 design proposal?

[Joao Gois]

Heuliez?

[@re]

Not a Peugeot 807 design proposal, either...

And Heuliez? Come on! Start reading the other replies!

I do... but I forgot this time 

Maybe some design students project?

From reading the last five replies to this puzzle (not counting mine) I'm guessing that the members who are responding think they know something about this car that they clearly don't. The replies indicate that they (incorrectly) take something for granted that haven't yet been asked, and therefore not corrected...

Well then lets ask (if this is what you mean): One can without much error state it has the general lines and even much of the bodywork common with the Peugeot 807/Lancia Phedra/Fiat Ulysse. If it actually hasn't, then the authors should be sued for plagery. That's why all of us are SUPPOSING it's based on the current Eurovan line bodywork. Also, since it has a french license plate, everyone assumed it was a french company who did it.

So, I'm asking: IS IT FRENCH??? (It's louder because it's three asking at the same time... )

You are asking the exact question that I wanted you to ask. The answer is NO.

I have the habit of erasing licence plates. In this case, I left it there as a red herring

There is very sound reasoning in the rest of your reply. But it is not based on the current Eurovan line bodywork.

  You bastard!

Hmm... Italian then maybe?

[@re]

That's correct - shouldn't come as a big surprise, as I've already said that Fiat/Lancia had something to do with it.

Inching ever closer!

Eurovan proposal from Fiat Centro Stile?

[@re]

That is as spot-on as anyone is ever going to get!

This is a full-scale model for an alternative design for the first-generation Fiat Ulysse, made in-house by Centro Stile. Congratulations!

Damn! Now I understand why the italic...
