Ugliest car around

Post by tonyg » Wed Jun 11, 2008 1:06 pm

Is it just me or are mass market cars just getting uglier and uglier.

I thought the Audi Q7 was a mess,but recently have seen -

the new fiat 500 (or whatever it's called) :puke

The new BMW x6 :puke :puke

And the Chrysler PT Cruiser droptop :puke :puke :puke :puke :puke :puke :puke :puke

Anybody else seen any other cars they really hate ??

Fiat have jumped on the mini bandwagon and IMO I think it works, I also really like the Q7 and would choose it over the other Chelsea tractors out there.

PT Cruiser and X6 I agree.

I'd agree X6 - an ugly and pointless Chelsea tractor. Just how car-illiterate would you have to be to choose one of those over, say, a 535D Touring?

For sheer ugliness though the Porsche Cayenne is way out in front :D :puke

Fiat 500 is cool but costs to much.

porsche cayenne - for when you have more money than taste.

anything from Kia

X5, X3, X6 Xugly

Like Micra's (not esp pretty) CC is ugly, as are most of the "CC" cars

Fiat 500 is great.

I had an x6 demo out and it is superb to drive and even the co2 is quite low.

As to pointless, I need a big car that drives okay but has enough ground clearance to cope with some rough roads (535d touring, E-Class can't do this, XC70 would be okay I suppose) and plenty towing capacity for horse boxes/boats/car trailers.

Cayenne is horrible but with the price difference between diesel and petrol widening and the new Cayennes being direct injection a Cayenne is looking like an option.

The new impreza- Its like they did a cut and paste of all the euroboxes and cobbled all the worst bits together. They should have stuck with original design.

It does seem to be doing quite well in the WRC. It does drive a lot better than the last model

330d - Dog carrying spec
