@Jahgee1124 why did you change the picture from the one @Famine used in his nomination? The one shown here is far less flattering.

Picture shown here:

Any way, sub zero. It's cheap, utilitarian transport in a quirky body shell with bubblewrap on the sides so you don't have to worry about other cars banging their doors into it. Easy.

That was the picture @GranTurismo916 used, I had no part in it

I used the other picture because that picture was small.

 

[Legro]

There are so many things that would make this car sub zero. But then Citroën decided to make it look hideous.

 

[Jet Badger]

Sub-Zero, baby. A car that is a parody of itself yet serious enough to work in the real world.

 

[Roger the Horse]

It looks plenty large enough to me, and if possible the polls are supposed to use the image that the person who nominated it posted, barring any ridiculous obvious modifications or the picture in question disappearing from the internet in that time. Also, a quick google image search reveals the image @Famine originally used available in sizes up to 2000 x 1550. I'm sorry.

Couldn't have said it better myself. This car knows exactly what it is, doesn't take itself at all seriously, and then does everything it does excellently.

 

[Kent]

Insanely ugly, being a crossover hatchback does not redeem this sort of ugly. 👎

 

[Parker]

Would be seriously uncool but it gets bumped up to a low coll for being called Cactus.

 

[Mark II Blit]

In any normal street setting, it looks completely out of place in an outrageous, intriguing and futuristic way, just like a Citroën should. You can't help but stare at it in bemusement. The interior looks and feels gorgeous, in case anyone wondered. I love how leather straps replace the regular door handles. It's all those clever little touches that make this car insanely cool and one of the most exciting new arrivals this year.

And it's so affordable, too!

I'm sorry I cannot contain myself.

Okay, it's just a picture. I'll fix it in the future.

 

[Dennisch]

Best colour for this car:

I like it's funky look. Quirky Citroën at its finest.

Cool.

 

[Slash]

Seriously uncool. Looks like one butt-ass ugly round turd with doors IMO. No thank you.

And what the hell is that on the doors? It looks ridiculous.

 

[Bo]

It's so French. It's weird in all the right ways. It's genius. The interior is amazing. It's insanely good value for money.

This ticks all the car boxes for me, and I have to say, it's by far my favourite car on sale currently. I don't think I've ever taken to a modern road car quite like this one.

 

[Legro]

Something called "Airbump". They are designed to take impacts in car parks.

 

[Adamgp]

Ugly Citroen.

SU.

 

[Bo]

Ugly

Definitely to an acquired taste.

Citroen.

Is there something wrong with Citroens...?

How do you get SU from those 2 things alone?

 

[Katiegan]

I never thought the Juke could lose it's title as the ugliest crossover. It's not even ugly in an ironic, hipstery and slightly cool way. I was going to vote SU, but out of sympathy for it having to deal with looking like that, I'll just vote uncool.

 

[Slash]

They look absolutely atrocious.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Uncool. I don't know the story about the name, but it sounds a bit silly, and the car itself doesn't look that great.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

This may well be cool in a unique way in the long run but right now this really isn't.

 

[Adamgp]

Definitely to an acquired taste.

I don't care for any Citroen. Don't care for all the "quirky French" mumbo jumbo, and find them incredibly ugly.

 

[Wiegert]

@Dennisch It's like a giant Kinder Surprise capsule. Awesome.

Easily the most striking Citroen outside the DS range. I'd much rather watch one of these go by than a Juke or any other small crossover. Cool.

They look absolutely atrocious.

No worse than simulated woodgrain. And it actually serves a useful purpose.

 

[Ameer67]

Uncool, just don't understand the purpose of its design.

 

[Dennisch]

Is there something wrong with Citroens...?

Unreliable will be the first thing. Strange malfunctions will be second. Wrong spark plugs in your engine? Let's screw up the way your headlights work! (stuff like that)

Simulated woodgrain doesn't look bad if it's done reasonably.

Have to say I'm pretty sure our last Citroen ticked all these boxes.

 

[GTP_Ingram]

Love them. Considering how boring pretty much every other car in its price bracket looks, this is a genuinely interesting alternative. The interior is basic but nicely done, and the airbump things on the outside not only serve a practical purpose, but add to the quirkiness of the design.

If every new car manufacturer put this much effort into designing a car, roads would be a far more interesting place. Sub zero.

 

[Dagger311]

Was going to vote uncool, but then...

You understand my mind. YES. 👍

 

[Dennisch]

I just noticed that it doesn't weigh all that much.

Bonus points for Citroën. Clap clap.
