Well, at least it was still a pillarless design. I think the previous
Rapier was much nicer to look at even if this one might arguably be a better
car overall.

On the whole, I'd probably agree with you, Max; the Audax Rapier was a
better-looking car in its day than its Arrow successor. The proportions
of the later car weren't quite right, although it's still attractive. I
believe I remember reading a contemporary description of it as "a
fastback with slow sides."
