Anyone know anything about the car in the movie Munich? It is a dark blue antique car, frameless flat window. I really like the style of that car, and wonder if any current production car has similiar style like that.

For the people who haven't seen the movie, can you get us a screenshot or a link to a trailer or something with the car in it?

I'd say the most recent production car with that look would be the 240 from Volvo.

Yes, it is Citroen D series, Evil Techie got it. It look so different in the movie than the photo you posted. In the movie, it is shorter, more sleek, sharper and shinier.

Is there any current production car with that kind of style? Frameless flat window, comfortable interior. I like small car like that.

Only car that comes to mind is another of that era. The Jensen Interceptor/FF. My uncle owned one of these in British Racing Green. I always liked the look of the car.

The Renault Alpine was also anice looking car.

The basic design seems French and it seesm to be from a certain era so unlikely that you will get cars similar in design today.

Porsche is the only cars made after that I can think of with a similar Frog like stance and look.

I do like the sleekness of the New Mercedes CLS500 though but still not quite a D series.

Research the D series suspension to see why it was/is also one of the smoothest riding cars.

should be from the same generation
