the "just plain ugly" car thread

I see the Sonatas everywhere and thing DAMN that front end is horrible.
I kind of like it, it looks A LOT better in real life.
Anyway, I don't like the look of this lincoln continental MK.8 at all.
I love the styling of this car. Make it black, clean it up, it looks great.
One of the biggest disgraces to car design is undoubtedly Chris Bangle for these:X3,X6, 5 Series, 6 Series, 1 Series, 7 Series, 3 Series (laste gen) Thank God he's now at Samsung!
There's nothing wrong with these either.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the 2011 Acura RL was awful when it had the Acura beak grill.
No wonder I never see that on the road. It looks HORRIBLE. :yuck:
Um, I don't quite like the look the Porsche 914 tbh. I think the body style is quite funny looking.
Agreed, it's just...weird.
 
I found this while looking at various GT1 homologation cars:

Sbarro GT1, from 1999!

From what these cars were (3,5,7) they are horrible.

X6 is this big, fat and enormous thing with a backside thats bulky. It looks to have confused styling.

5 Series was condidered one of the best in the class (2 gens back), this one (last gen) is bold and it doesn't turn heads with discretion I don't think.

1 Series is good as the coupe; that is now the upcoming 2 Series, hatch doesn't look like a hatch.

X3 doesn't look as good as that generation of X5.

7 Series is just awful, period!

The E9x 3 Series is not bad looking at all. All the other Bangle era cars except for the 6 series have aged pretty well, and if you look at the cars nowadays, are fairly conservative. If anything, I contend that the 7 series was actually quite an influential design.
 
E81/7 1 series:
I thing that the hatchback looks good and it's a RWD compact car that makes it very cooler.

E60 5 series:
I found the E60 was alittle ugly, never like the look of it

E65 7 series:
This looks better the the current 7 series

E63 6 series
I never understand why people found the E63 ugly. I love the look of it.

They just look like mini X5 it not really that ugly.
It's not as bad as the X1(E84)

Now that is ugly

E71/2 X6:
It's does look that bad, they shape of it. It looks like a sporty SUV but the size of it make it ugly.

E90 3 series:
not really ugly, just to commom.






Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the 2011 Acura RL was awful when it had the Acura beak grill. Majority of the vehicles got a major design change (apart from the crossovers), but the RL only got a small change. And an ugly one at that. :yuck:
👍
Most all Acura the last few years have been ugly.

It's ugly and weird, but there is something about it that I kind of like it.

That looks :drool:



Not sure if anyone has said this one.................

Fisker Karma

I just find it so ugly looking:yuck:
 
I like the look of the Karma. It's different than the regular bland eco nonsense out there.
 
I like the Karma aswell.

Um, there is this BMW that I'm unsure of that I've been recently seeing on the road:
The X1

I'm a BMW fanboy, no two ways about that... and I can find something to like about nearly all of their designs... but, the X1.... nope. Really. Nothing. No redeem features aesthetically.
 
I'm sorry for refferencing Top Gear again, but I feel that the X1 is like the village idiot of BMW where its brothers and sisters are all geniuses.


Um yeah, this is another car I'm not too fond of the way it looks. Mostly the front end.

What is that? Looks like an ugly aftermarket front end on the front of a DeLorean.
 
Yup, that's what it is. It's an interesting car, it's just not much of a looker.

I like them. I actually almost bought one for a few grand a couple years ago. It has a mid mount Ford 351 Windsor V8. Early models had AMC 360s.
 
No to it being ugly. Sure, it has a few "unattractive" parts, but its not downright ugly.

I'm sorry, but it's quite ugly to me. Just my opinion about it, it looks like a Mini in a fat suit or a Mini that let itself go.

EDIT: I also didn't like the look of this gen of the Thunderbird.
