the "just plain ugly" car thread

Very reminiscent of a Lexus design.

If an owner does this to a perfectly good Camaro, there's only one cure: stronger electroshock therapy.

The Citroen Berlingo is a very good car as long as you want something that’s equipped like a Romanian jail.

It just looks like a van.

Could you actually make a relevant/worthwhile post in this thread? It seems like you just post Top Gear quotes for the sake of doing so. The same happened in the "ugliest race cars" thread.

You call that a van?

That's a real van. Looks good, big V8, drives terrible.

I'm calling sarcasm...

Nah mate, serious!

Subaru just haven't been able to get it right since the original WRX. They came close in 2003 but everything else has been pretty awful

Subaru Impossibru.

Sorry, I just had to say it.

In my opinion, I thought most of the Impreza WRX STi's were fairly handsome. The early 00's "bug-eye" Impreza was a bit quirky, and the newest one, which they don't even call an Impreza (just WRX STi) looks overdone and quite tacky.

Double post.

Yeah, but the Citroen Berlingo is also a real van, and it uses Citroen's design language from that period (it's not that bad looking).

Meanwhile, the Ssangyong Korando looks like a Jeep and a Tucker's retarded offspring.

Agreed. Admittedly the sti treatment makes any car look better, but imagine what they could do with a good looking base car! (I.e. the BRZ...)

Dare I post it?? The Aventador is ugly. There, I said it.

I'm in full agreement with you and the SV just looks even worse. Gone was the handsome muscle of the Murcielago and in came this.

For me, 2003 is the ugliest out of the bunch. I'd take the bug eye (2001) or the 2005 over the 2003 any day.

 

[Robin]

The 2014 one is pretty good, I also liked the 'jet intake' 2005 front end.

Yep, there was one in a dealership nearby a while ago and it had zero presence, just a bunch of pretentious "Oh ees a jet fighter really!" lines. The roadster's rear works well and the SV makes more sense but none are really that amazing to look at.

@Harsk100 can go on and on about how the Citroen Berlingo is one of the greatest cars ever made.

Looks like it should be amphibious.

Or just driven off a pier.

Pretty much every Lamborghini in the past 5 years is extremely ugly (except the Huracan, that looks good).

And worst of all, the dreaded Veneno.

Pretty much every Lamborghini in the past 5 years is extremely ugly (except the road-going Huracan, that looks okay).

And worst of all, the dreaded Veneno.

Looking at past Lamborghinis and thinking;
What happened? The same company that made these made the Veneno.

Even the hatchback??

I think they look pretty amazing in the flesh, but they've lost that bit of class and subtlety of the murcielago.

I think the murcielago (and more specifically the LP640) was the best looking car Lamborghini have made

 

[Legro]

To be fair, since the Countach was launched and especially after they decided to give it the more or less garish facelift, Lamborghini hasn't really focused on making greatest looking car but rather on making some of the most distinctive looking cars on the roads.

Yes, even the hatchback.

Mini Spiritual Concept

Ugly or not, the Spiritual Concept had one remarkable feature. It's very hard to deny that, unlike the later BMW models, it really was properly sized for being the 21st century version of the Mini.

For the owners to look at their pearly whites and watch themselves flick their hair.
