After the p1ss-poor Reno marketing shots of the 197 Cup which in my mind resembled an 898cc Korean shed trying desperately to look like it would reach 60mph before Easter - my views are starting to change.
I picked up the first issue of Performance Car magazine yesterday, complete with said 197 Cup plastered all over the front cover. It looks awesome - and even better on the extra shots in the article itself.
The finishing touch is definitely the optional spoiler on the tail-gate. Far from looking chavvy, it suits the profile of the car perfectly - even if the carbon effect is simply that - an effect.
If nothing else, the article has made me look at the 197 in a different light. No longer does it resemble the hippo of the RS range, complete with stilts - but it genuinely looks an appealing car.
