  • Oppose. Having thought about this a bit, while a decent photo there's just too many factors leading to an oppose. The main issue is that the vehicle is clearly significantly modified; for a featured image in an article on the standard vehicle I think we should try to illustrate vehicles as close as possible to factory standard. Other niggles are the number plate clearly showing (generally preferred to have it removed, or at least blurred out), the other vehicle in the background being a distraction, the driver and navigator clearly being on show, all those stickers on the rear quarter window, and sadly the main badge on the bonnet (one would assume it's meant to be an Alpine badge, though it looks like it may be a Renault badge) being completely blown out. Also there's no indication of the actual model/year of this vehicle which is very useful in terms of EV. --jjron (talk) 13:01, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
