Message: Yes, the Ixo looks nicer in green. Unfortunately ... when I went looking for it on the Net, the green version seems to have been a pre-production display model, but when Altaya issued it as a partwork model, they seem to have had the misguided idea of acknowledging France's sporting heritage by painting this sports grand tourer in what used to be "French racing blue". Looks OK on a Renault Gordini but a bit crude on a Facel. Of course, the Ixo is apparently taken from the old Provence Moulage mould. You can still get one of those and paint it any colour you like (so long as it's black). PS. Since posting this, I've looked at the new post above (#14068) and I see the green one is shown in the Spark display (labelled "Ixo).
