the "just plain ugly" car thread

[LivingWithGames]

He's talking about the tacky looking stripes, not the car itself.

Well, fair enough.

And then there's the name. "Holden Maloo." Seriously? Thats something teenage boys do that really ought not be discussed.

Maloo is Aborigine for 'Thunder', just so you know.

I'm not sure if the Tata Nano has been mentioned and I'm not going through 71 pages to find out. Anyways, I think the Nano is hideous. It looks like that a cartoon bug in my opinion.

It looks like a Pocket Monster thing.

Chinese BMW i3 knock-off

You can see everything that China does with cars in this single car.
Atleast the chinese Nissan LEAF is produced under license...
Much like Europe and the BMW 120i

EDIT: Also fricken China car makes, taking a car and making it look worse.


It looks like an Audi Q7 roof was slapped on top of an A4.

How have those brands not been sued yet? They are nearly identical...only inbred.

Because the Chinese government is pretty chill on the whole "copyright" thing.

Ladies, gentleman, the Chevy Matiz. Shudder.

I was lucky enough to see one written-off on the motorway once, happy days.

You can't help but laugh at how stupid the Chinese are when it comes to cars.

Do you think the Dodge Venom Concept is better. Because I do.

I love it.

While I was searching the web the other day, I found a Nissan wagon that just screams ugliness. It is the second generation Nissan Primera 2.0 Wagon (2002-2008). This car sold surprisingly well in Japan and Russia.

For me, nothing about this wagon is appealing. Although the front is decent (same front as Primera saloon), the rear is horrid. The design of the rear and top is just too circular. The wheel choice is very bland. The specs are also horrible too, with an engine producing a whopping 90 horsepower. 90 horsepower for this thing! Folks, don't even try reaching 100mph in this thing, because you can't. There was also a 147 horsepower engine available for the most expensive model, but it was not any better. It reached 110mph maximum and it took 13 seconds for it to reach 60 mph. There is too much weight (1597 kgs) for this car to go fast. The car's weird design was marketed to be "praised" by buyers, but I do not praise this car in the least bit. This Primera was not sold in the USA (like all Primeras) thankfully.

There you have it. Round of applause for the 2002-2008 Primera wagon. For its ugliness!

Ugly =/= Bland.

Also, I'm pretty sure a family wagon isn't going to be bought for the amount of time it's going to take to reach 62 mph.

I believe China will get it right (car design) some day.

This. They just need to find their own style like the Japanese once had to.

But I'm still gonna laugh at their cars. Especially the "Elegant Beetle"

BMW Z18

Can't believe this, but... That front reminds me of the Youbian Puma of all things.

I'd say less Puma more cheap knock off BMW.

Z18, along with the Z22 (a much uglier car), were developed by BMW Z Technik. They were more engineering and technical viability studies created to further the companies knowledge and experience, and were never really intended to be shown off as finished concept cars. Soemtimes you just want to try stuff out, even if you don't plan on using it.

The Z22:

Look, it's the 2-Series Active Tourer's slightly retarded cousin.

It's so late 90s. And not in the good way that I like.
