the "just plain ugly" car thread

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> ...

That's not their previous flagship SUV. That's one of their older compact SUVs way back from the '00s era. I was referring to this one, which looks cool and more American, too. It also somewhat resembles the older Grand Cherokee.

^ I've always liked the Mojave/Borrego design. The new Telluride tries too hard IMHO.

I can be a fair bit of a sucker for Czech stuff, but while doing a bit of Arma II, I remembered about the Ural-4320* with a botched nosejob
Also known as the Praga V3S

* - not actually mechanically related to a Praga V3S as far as I know, also only came into existence after the Praga

I found another bad one, the worst looking Subaru ever:

What makes it worse is that Subaru themselves made it...

 

[GranTurNismo]

Mercedes-Benz 560 AMG by Colani, based on the 280GE. Luigi Colani always had a reputation for designing questionable looking cars, but this is definitely one of his most abominable creations. What did that poor G-Class do to deserve this...

If I'd seen just the photos, I'd have thought someone who couldn't afford a real G-Class had gone to great lengths to convert their car to look like a G-Class.

I felt like talking about Chinese vehicles again. Why would anyone look at the current Ford F150 and think it was a good design to copy?

Legit looks like a concept car from the 90's or early '00s.

I kinda like it, though...

Toyota La Coupe

Y'know...I like that.

Except for the lower sill and bumper treatment.

I also think the building on the other side of the camper is fantastic.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I kinda like it aswell. The car itself gives me Peugeot RCZ and Daihatsu Copen vibes.
However, I think the styling kinda works.

This is a very good looking car, what are you talking about?

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

This is a very good looking car, what are you talking about?

Please tell me you're being sarcastic.

 

[CSMDuty11]

Definitely not sure how the La Coupe counts as ugly even since the pattent images

...Besides it looking French, specifically Alpine, but not called "Le Coupe" but after the Renault LeCar that might be a good thing
That, and compared to certain other Toyotas and modern Lexuses it's an even bigger masterpiece

They even managed to copy the big, gaudy grille too. LMAO.

Yeah, it really looks like a mix of the two. Pretty cool looking thing.

 

[Dobermann92]

No, I quite like it.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

No, I quite like it.

Okay then...

I actually really like that.

Ugh....I've never seen a good looking chinese car to be honest, so this isn't surprising.

Of course it isn't only the chinese who can make ugly cars for example I like the Pontiac Firebird except this version:

Although I do think it's not the best looking Firebird made. I don't think it's a bad looking car in my opinion. However, it's predecessors do look better:

1973 SD-455 Trans Am

I don't if what's worse. That or this.

Nah, the Smart is a cute little thing, nothing ugly or offensive about the way it looks. The Chery, on the other hand...

I know it's way ahead of it's time and it was designed for a purpose but I agree with the press of the time. It is an ugly duckling.

Still a very cool car nevertheless.
