Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 004S

Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 004S - I'm not a fan of Le Mans; I find the cars too little like anything you see on the road to be exciting. But the dome top of the 004S is more of a full point-and-shout to Le Mans than a nod, and in this instance that's a very, very good thing.
Behind-the-scenes glimpses and other observations from the last seven days around the car industry

This week has been as packed with news as any other, so naturally there's plenty of fodder to praise and scorn in this week's roundup. 

Here are the best five and worst single thing I've seen this week. 

The best things I've seen all week 

Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 004S

I'm not a fan of Le Mans; I find the cars too little like anything you see on the road to be exciting. But the dome top of the 004S is more of a full point-and-shout to Le Mans than a nod, and in this instance that's a very, very good thing. 

The rear of the Aston Martin Vantage

If you've read many of these roundups, you'll know I'm a fan of a rear light bar, and that on the back of the Vantage is no different. It twists the light bar - quite literally - to snake across the rear of the car, incorporating the lines of the spoiler. Lovely. 

Mercedes-Benz A-Class interior

I like the outside of the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Now I can say, I like the inside too. This will take the premium hatch segment up a considerable notch. 

Lamborghini Urus

In prototype form, the Urus nearly made the Worst of the Week a month ago or so; the camouflage Lamborghini used for development cars was not flattering. But its proportions work far, far better with proper, smooth colour on the bodywork, from what I can see in this fuzzy, leaked still. I stand corrected.

Dacia's shop closed for Black Friday

It's as fashionable to dislike Black Friday as it is for retailers - and now car makers - to stuff it down our throats, so bravo to Dacia for taking a stand against it by shutting its pop-up shop for the occasion, and using the opportunity to do some savvy marketing. Yes, it contributes to the Black Friday blabber, but it's clever and oh so on-brand. 

... and the worst thing I've seen this week

How little the front of the Vantage looks like the DB10

Don't get me wrong - the Vantage is a monstrously pretty car. But the DB10 was prettier, more cohesive and more Aston. Putting a DB10 clone into production would go back on Aston's approach for the Bond-film-only car, but it would have made it a car I'd actually desire, rather than just admire.
