the "just plain ugly" car thread

The Ferrarri FF isn't that bad.

 

[Starciller]

I actually think the FF is a beautiful car.

Ferrari FF = Gliscor = Ugly

 

[AudiMan2011]

I find the styling of the FF questionable, but I wouldn't say it was ugly.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

It's not as bad as the F12. Someone posted a white F12 in the DYSAGT thread and it looked alright, but in any other color it doesn't look good.

 

[moolett]

In before the Pontiac Aztek and Subaru Tribeca.

How dare you say an ugly car is called my name. It's the Morgan by the way.

A bit before the 1974 decree, but come on...

You wouldn't want your continental spare tire to get damaged in the parking lot.

If you could actually get that into the parking lot.

 

[Slash]

Of course they were.

Sarcasm?

Think this looks pretty damn good if you ask me.

Honda NSX '??

It doesn't have a retro feel to me. It looks like a streched out civic with LED lights. Interior looks nice but it doesn't look like a NSX anymore. On top of that it has a no spoiler. Df.

Why would they have done a throwback to a design that went out of production less then a decade ago?

This.

 

[Pupik]

...and still no actual production examples, either.

So. Many company's do a throwback feel to their cars. Challengers, charger, muatangs, corvettes.

But honda said you can pre-order it now^^.....

Those cars are 40-50 years old. Not 20. You think there is a reason there is no pop-up headlights anymore?

Because the car has to evolve one day right? Either way retro or not, this car looks real ugly. The front looks unfinished.

The car itself isn't ugly, it's the wheels that don't make sense to me. I know these are sort of a remade version of the vintage wheels, but they still don't look good to me. I see what VW was trying to do, I just don't think it worked out to well. Other than these wheels the car looks great.

 

[Starciller]

I agree those wheels are kind of....... what's the word?

 

[Liquid]

Really don't like that new New Beetle.

 

[Slash]

It's alright....think the roofline needs to be just a tad higher.

I know you've mentioned that you're talking about the wheels, but I really really like the latest Beetle. I thought the first New Beetle was kinda lame but the new New Beetle...yowzah. I'd rock that.

I've gone completely the other way. I really didn't like the old New Beetle when it came out, but it grew on me. And now I don't like the new New Beetle.

You never know, by 2018 this new one will probably have grown on me.

I like the "new-New" Beetle. Me and my mom went on a test drive in a '13 Turbo and it was pretty good. I could fit in it just fine (which is saying something) and the 2.0l Turbo was pretty good too. The one we drove had a sunroof but she's really wanting a convertible. I have no idea if she's going to trade in her F150 for it, keep her F150, or just not even get it, but I like the Beetle.

Doesn't the turbo model come with a different set of wheels?

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Yes. My argument wasn't really relevant TBH.

 

[Ranman20]

They need to put a V6 TDI in that beetle.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

That would just be unnecessary.

 

[Ranman20]

That would just be unnecessary.

How so?

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

The turbo 4cyl is just fine. If you wanted more power you could get it out of the engine already in it. The V6 would weigh more, as well.
