I could make a list that makes these cars look like modern marvels :yesnod.


I definitely disagree on the BMW 7 Series and I can easily list 100 reasons why.

The Bricklin SV1 is ugly. There's a guy nearby that has one. It's disgusting.

The Fiat Multipla looks like something fat fell and squashed a Dodge Neon. (It's real ugly in person too)

The normal Toyota IQ looks great in person. I prefer it over a Smart any day.

I can't believe they put that Lamborghini LM002 and the Aston Martin Lagonda in their list. Remember, were not talking about reliability here ;).

I'm not a fan, but I think VW did a decent job with the New Beetle.


Regarding the other list:

The Alfa Romeo Brera does look great in person, but the price surpasses it's quality. You can easily spot one on the road and their a fun to drive.

BMW E61 M5 Touring................ :dblthumb:

Most of Citroen's current line is eye candy including the Citroën C3 Picasso

The Ford Ka has always been a toilet and still is. I hate that car with a passion! Quality is similar to an egg carton.

Lancia Delta probably won't have the same audience it used to have, but it's definitely a welcomed entry.

The Lotus Europa S ...probably one of the funnest cars to drive.

The gas versions of the Mini render the Mini Cooper D useless. Testing has proven it.

The Opel Speedster and Vauxhaul version are good fun and very eye-catching.

I absolutely love the ultimate black opal paint on the Nissan GT-R SpecV :yesnod.

The Pagani Zonda in any trim level can't really be appreciated unless you've seen one in person. Absolutely breathtaking.

The Peugeot RCZ is a new entry that had a warm reception and was definitely needed. I just wish they'd stop making the "hockey puck in the mouth" front bumpers. That design is getting very long in the tooth.

The Renault Mégane and Mégane Coupe stand out in the crowd. Nice additions to the family.

I hope the Tata Nano stays in India. Buying this car is like saying you have no value on your life or your passengers lives. It's not safe. It's a bigger toilet than the KA by a mile. I know it's cheap, but I don't care about this garbage.

Move over Nissan President ....the Toyota Century Royal has arrived :frown:.

The Volkswagen Scirocco looks cool the first few times you see it, but then it gets real boring. It still looks better than the Golf especially for the price. A lot of nice paint colors too.

I am shocked to see the delorean on the list- while the car did suffer from an underpowered engine and quality glitches, it is contemporary , sleek, and almost timeless looking- like modern art.

I agree with the PT and prius "aka" the Fayg mobile. I like some on the list including any and all vans though only if you have blown struts in the rear so it keeps bouncing. I once used to smoke pot all day long and the more people in the vehicle, the more pot smoked/rolled and the harder it was to see. I once bought an escort wagon for the farm and ran laps in the cornfield. Suprisingly it ran for about 9k miles at 300$ for it. Cracked the engine after the raditor got so plugged up with husks and overheated. Im thinking of buying this 5 speed 92 dodge caravan, yep 5 speed! maybe throw some srt4 parts on it. Was thinking of tiger striping it orange an black. Gutting it and making it a sleeping minivan! I've yet to see someone boost one of those smart cars. Its like a mini cooper cut in half and throwing the rear ontop

Sone of the worst designs of all time came from Chrysler during those days. History has revealed a lot of turbulance and internal power struggles occurring in the styling department.

Here's a Wiki clip about events leading up to the styling disaster.

"In 1956, during the design of the 1961 models, Virgil Exner (styling boss) had a heart attack. He resumed work in 1957, working on the designs for the 1962 cars. On July 25, 1957, Exner was elected the first Vice President of Styling at Chrysler.

Unfortunately, a rumor that GM was reducing the size of their cars caused the President of Chrysler to order Exner to do the same to his 1962 design — a change Exner disagreed with, thinking it would make his cars "ugly." This change, coupled with build quality problems, reduced the cars' appeal and caused a significant drop in sales.

It turned out that the rumor was false and consumers disliked the smaller Plymouth and Dodge cars introduced for 1962, the styling of which was bizarre compared to more sedate Ford and GM products. Needing a scapegoat, Chrysler brass fired Exner. He was allowed to retain a position as a consultant so he could retire with pension at age 55.

He was replaced by Elwood Engel, who had been lured from Ford. Engel was highly regarded for his design of the classic 1961 Lincoln Continental."

Engel was the main reason that Chrysler products started to look a lot like Fords -- beginning in 1963.

Brabus had their own version of it which wasn't really a big deal considering it was carrying the Brabus nameplate.It's called the BRABUS Ultimate 112:
