It would have been a lot funnier if it had been Sarkozy getting out of the car and there were hundreds of jilted mistresses lining the road.

@v250gto: I couldn't vote. My grandmother had an Ro 80 and the Panhard is one of the few sedans that can match its coolitude.

Napoleon is short?! OMG, how original! HAHAHHA. A reason for him to put his hand in his shirt. HAHHAHHAA. (I can't do that nasally like on the Simpsons in French class.)
This crappy ad would only be funny if he were driving to his tomb. Maybe.

@Euromobile: And the chance to make "Panhard? Rod for your own back, mate" jokes as well. Priceless!

@Euromobile: Agreed. One of the best-looking Panhards. How cool would it be to go hypermiling in a vintage Le Mans Panhard CD. Pretty cool.

@lascauxcaveman: I usually don't pick teams against/with the spread, but I would give 6.5.

I like to play over/unders and more importantly, prop bets.

By the way, if we haven't already worshipped the PL17 on Jalopnik, I suggest we do: Aircooled-flat-twin-powered-streamlined-finned-brake-drum-wheel-centred-tiger-print-seated-awesomeness!

The Panhard PL17 gets about a million points on the cool-o-meter, but Napoleon in a PL17!? Off the scale!
