the "just plain ugly" car thread

[Wiegert]

It's okay to have an opinion, but it's just not okay to make a big freaking deal about someone else's non-empirical statements about subjective things such as styling.

I don't believe that wanting someone to provide a brief explanation as to why they feel that way is too much to ask. This is a forum after all.

It's almost as bad as people posting inoffensive car designs here with reasons that didn't go beyond them being "bland" or "unexciting". Unless it's so obviously repulsive that no explanation is required (Re: D120), then at least add some constructive reasoning for others to chew over rather than a blunt statement.


And not wanting to leave another post without including something I do consider unsightly: Porsche Disproportionata Panamericana concept.

It's almost as out-there as some of those Porsche-based Rinspeed creations. The oversized wheels and goofy front-end are rather unflattering though.

Everything about that is off.

And LOL at the tread pattern.

I disagree
A break from tradition, I guess. Looks cute

The new generation of Jeep Cherokees.... Seriously looks like something in the front end got squished. When using the CAD software for design, someone forgot to click the checkbox " constrain proportions"

They've just advertised it Down Under as "sleek". I'm not going to waste my time explaining whats wrong with it, its just awful.

I spy with my little eye, Jag E-Type-esque quarter panels.

Nine... NINE people can sit in this car without proper seats! Does that sound dangerous enough? If the looks didn't kill you, falling out of the car probably would...

Didn't that in a Top Gear award for something? Either way, it is TERRIBLE in every way...

9 sitting on motorbike seats whilst having all sides covered by panels, so in reality, it's more safe than a motorbike

I was thinking about exactly that when I saw this thread.

I want to make it perfectly clear that I think the sedan is absolutely gorgeous--it just works--but...

Seats 12. Didn't stop anyone. 9/12 would ride that car.

Say hello to the brand new Lexus NX.

No rear shot because I guess it's too fricking ugly. Shoutout to @ZeroGamingHD

 

[JTB10000]

It just looks weird.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Isn't that a Hot Wheels car?

The concept was vile, that looks cool.

May have become one, but it wasn't a HW original.

 

[Wiegert]

No. Lexus marketed a car more than 50 years before its release*, per Steven Spielberg's request.

*Watch Minority Report and all will become clear.

The FJ is probably the only car in the current Toyota lineup that I find good looking.

what? How about he GT86?

 

[Adamgp]

It's ok I guess. A bit "generic sports coupe" looking.

Of the GT86/FRS/BRZ triplets I think the BRZ looks better than the Toyota/Scion.

I like the look of the FJ actually. Of course, I kinda like the look of a lot of retro styled cars for some odd reason. I'm one of those rare souls that even likes the 2000s Ford Thunderbird.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

I absolutely love the look of the FJ Cruiser, I think they pulled off the retro styling rather nicely.

They do look good on the outside but if you have ever driven one they have horrible visibility & blind spots. I came very close to buying a used FJ a few months ago but went with a used Tundra instead.

I have sat in one actually, that's the one thing I dislike about them. Horrible visibility, and difficult to see out of.
