Just what were they thinking?

WE HAVE just added the first new FHs to our fleet and, while we're very pleased with them, I have to agree with Alan Bunting on all counts. The trucks are impressively engineered; to quote one happy driver: "they seem to have thought of everything". But what exactly were they thinking of with that Optimus Prime grille?
I see Renault has come up with similarly awful styling from the Darth Vader school. Is there a theme here?
Despite my reservations, the design obviously works for others. After only a few days on the road, our drivers have been pursued by numerous enthusiastic photographers and members of the public who want a closer look. Maybe it's an age thing. I don't understand the comparisons drawn between the new Jaguar F-type and the iconic 1960s E-type, and the same applies here. The F88 will always be the hardest act of all to follow.
