I've always found these handsome, and I get an odd AMC Eagle vibe from them--you know, if the Eagle were European and shared a design language with vehicles of its time instead of those a decade earlier. :P
 
Ehhh. Beyond the period shade of Sunburst Urine, I'm failing to see the fugly with that one. plus the beltline fits a car of that size and shape quite nicely unlike, say, the larger 120Y estate. Where the line might as well stay level with the door windowsill:

Now, if it had the silver headlight trim (which looked like it was two corners short of being Locque-approved) or AMC-style grille indicators, I'd be more inclined to agree on the fugliness to some extent:

I'd also take that vinyl roof over sim-woodgrain.

Fair enough--fugly may have been a bit harsh. I've always considered them awkward, though.

:P

(And to be clear, I don't actually dislike them.)

A Volkswagen Fox...more love for my country apparently.

Might aswell contribute more! The wagon version of one of my childhood cars! The Caravan, and this one is of '79.

How to create a more rust-prone Rover P6 without really improving practicality: Let Crayford and FLM Panelcraft bodge it into an "Estoura".

Doesn't look too bad externally.
