Ugly But Appealing Vehicles

I also have the guts to post pictures of these other priceless cars here:

This, too:

Although it's not as priceless as the other two and it looks perfectly fine in black.


Anyway I was just being honest, really. After all, the title of the thread says "Ugly But Appealing Vehicles", not "the "just plain ugly" car thread."

At least your honesty lives on. These cars however, not. As they fade out pretty quickly.

Yes, I guess they are far from being well-known or historically significant to the average person, quite unfortunately.

Well, at least Zagato themselves hold the 450S Coupé in high regard, it seems. As you probably have heard, they recently made a modern reinterpretation of the car called the Zagato Mostro, (a fitting nod to the original 450S Coupé since it was also nicknamed "Il Mostro" or The Monster) and to me it eliminates the problem of the 450S Coupé's front grille looking scrunched up and the fenders now look less like swellings. So that one's not so much of an ugly mostro in terms of looks, I'd say.

Triumph TR7 (and TR8, they're very similar if not identical). Now don't get me wrong, I love the crap out of these things and they have charm in spades, but they're ugly with a capital F.

Well you weren't kidding, I do quite like that. Thank God there's salvation to this world

I see one and can't help but wonder why I like it. Did I see one in a movie I loved? Who knows...

(Oh, it's an Iso Rivolta Lele--for those unfamiliar.)

I really like that. It reminds me a bit of the Lamborghini Jarama.

I've always liked looking at the 1988 Chrysler New Yorker. Dunno why, but I do.

It also has a digital display rather than a conventional analog display, which I'm rather fond of.

Pink interior? That wasn't factory was it?

 

[Bo]

I'm pretty sure that's just maroon with poor lighting.

Yeah, ugly is probably harsh but my eye has always immediately been drawn to the character line that sweeps up awkwardly in the flank to meet the one that traces the quarter window--and that just ruins it for me.

Both in terms of light utilized during photography and the UV exposure that it's surely been subjected to over the years.

I quite like that part.. but then again, I have no taste.

 

[Suzumiya]

This car looks funny.

The Callaway C12. Looks like a Ridge Racer car gone wrong, but for some reason, it always intrigued me.

 

[TexRex]

I love these things. Oh and...


3000!

 

[McLaren]

I really like that. It reminds me a bit of the Lamborghini Jarama.

Funny enough, both cars were produced in the exact same time frame & designed by Gandini.

I love that digital display

 

[MedigoFlame]

Can't help but see that a lot of people find the FJ55 series Land Cruiser to be ugly. I love it.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Probably been posted before, but anyway...

It's horrendous looking, but I'd have it in a heartbeat. Very cool.

[RandomCarGuy17]

It's an ugly truck, but I just plain like it.

No new car on the market says "hippie" better than this one!

 

[GT Pro]

Toyota Wald Prius '16:

 

[Grandea GTR]

Toyota Wald Prius '16:

Not bad, but the rims are kinda eh.

 

[Bo]

Toyota Wald Prius '16

It makes the stock Prius look tremendously appealing.

 

[el fayce]

Chrysler Fifth Avenue

I probably like it just because it appeared in Breaking Bad.

 

[TexRex]

Uh oh...

 

[lxmmy]

Wrong thread.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

W Motors Lykan Hypersport. Lots find it ugly. I don't.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Mitsubishi Galant Lambda/Sapparo.

 

[The87Dodge]

Mitsubishi Galant Lambda/Sapparo.

Can't forget the Dodge Challenger:

 

[Razor440]

It's a bit raunchy to some but since dad had one I like these.

I kind of do like how they look...

This is the best custom one I could find...far from good but it looks like a good high school car
