It is. Probably several times. This is why I try to list the name of the car when posting a photo of it, so that it can be found through the search function. This should probably be a rule of this thread.
Mahindra XUV500
Can someone please inform me why companies like Mahindra, Great Wall and Ssangyong (sans surprisingly attractive Korando) don't bother to hire designers who are competent? I presume they have the financial backing to find a team of people who aren't completely inept at making lines meet. It's very confusing.

I thought that the real Scion xB was ugly, the copycat looks slightly worse. I don't like the headlight design nor the wheels. Though, this has comfirmed for me that some car manufactures just don't know how to make up a car design.
Oh dear lord, that front end is hideous.
*facepalm*

The Chevy Cruze wasn't that offensive when it came out. Heck, I almost thought it was pretty good, despite the fact that it's grown into another dull compact sedan you always see in silver. But now...the US spec facelift. Thought it was bad in the pictures, but seeing one in person.

Not bad, but it's much better when it was tuned by Lotus.

That's soooo cool. Was surprised to find it was a Suzuki Alto.

Stubby nose aside, the effort put into transforming an old Alto into a 98bhp car that weights less than half a ton is pretty admirable. And you forgot its best side:
Now this. This is all wrong:
Chassis and engine from a '55 Ford Pop, for anyone wondering.

Takuya Yura takes credit for the design. Mooncraft basically wanted a small road-going version of their Shiden racecar.
More shots of the building process and concept art (which actually looks much better than the finished product).
