everyone who has mentioned the XKE in this thread other than to make fun of someone who doesn't like it should be hung drawn and quartered and otherwise maimed

The proportions on it are awful.

Wa-hey!
Opinions, gents, opinions. I dont mind the quirky, but I never really liked the E type. Granted, the roadster does look better, but I'm still not a fan.

Is that a....Kia?
I hate it. It was a great idea functionality wise... it has a lot of purpose with a design like that, but honestly the next gen ricers have ruined it for me. I used to at least respect the concept, but now they're over-hyped, overrated, and just plain exhausted. I can't stand how people drive them... like they're ****ing Ferraris or something, weaving in and out of bumper to bumper traffic like some speed addict on a unicylce. Ugh, please spare me of your Vin Diesle l33tness, because we all know that your ride-on lawn mower stuffed in a box is such a badass machine.
Successful or not, I really looked at this thing and just couldn't believe how tiny it was. Just what purpose is something that incredibly tiny supposed to serve in the market of pickup trucks? Are you serious? Maybe I'm not cutting them enough credit, but at the same time I've never seen a Ridgeline actually hauling anything. Actually... I did see one hauling a 12ft Penske trailer. LOL Does this come standard with a 4 cylinder engine?! I mean come on people! Firstly it lookes like a turd, and secondly... just come on! It's a baby Avalanche, an already pretty stupid and pointless idea stolen and implented into a class of small-sized pickup trucks for even more stupidity and worthlessness. I also cannot say that I've ever seen them in an attractive color. They're always some crappy dark color that absolutely shouldn't be on any existing car on the face of the planet. I hate it... worst design I've ever seen and I can't help but feel embarassed for the family guy forced by their estrogen-driven wacked out soccer wifey to drive it, because no self-respecting man's man would be caught dead driving something so absurdly weak. It's just lame...

i thought it was an S-type!
now, i dont know if this car was designed under hyundai watch, but i am glad that hyundai, when borrowing design cues from others, is able to come up with, generally, much more attractive products than the amanti.

Alright, let's settle this ugly Jag thing once and for all.
Ugliest. Jaguar. Ever.

I know we've already had one of these posted. But i think we need a mention of this version which is not only uglier than the original, it's also much less practical almost to the point of being pointless.
To me it looks like a giant pram without a handle.

I like the old Jag, but I think the XKE Roadster looks a lot better. I don't know if I would say the fast back is ugly, it's just rather "meh".
A true ugly Jag is the MkII:
Dashing for such a big car.
Anyways, new Jaguars are a bit questionable; they're just a bit bloated, that's all, but certainly not ugly in the extremity of that Corvorado. Yes, they are sometimes poorly-executed, but with a few subtle modifications it looks like they can be sharper cars.
I won't ask about the Heidelberg, and the Fiat Aquila's likely already here.

I'm sorry... are people actually suggesting that something other than the facelifted X Type is the ugliest Jaguar?
For me, all the Jaguars in this thread look good except the E-Type.

- You're crazy if you think
- I can afford either of these.
I love the ones with the dual headlights. I'm probably just jaded by the performance

Not really, they look pretty nice when you consider the boxy shape.

i think they look great.
(as I mentioned earlier in this thread) But you can't blame Lancia for making ugly cars, after all, it is owned by FIAT.....

Well...the older ones do look linda boxy and squarish. wouldn't exactly call 'em beautiful. But they ARE fast.

Here's a living example for a comparison (though it came from 1984):
