Facelift models that looked worse


Recommended Posts

I prefer the facelifted 75.

The Hyundai Coupe is by far the worst. They managed to make a really nice looking car then completely fucked it up proving until recently the Koreans couldn't design a decent looking car unless by total fluke.

Peugeot 205 Mk 2 came out in 1988.

 

The original was so good they didn't touch the styling at all, just the dashboard and engines.

 

They have certainly made up for it over the last 10 years with the pig ugly shite they have churned out.

^^ The Pugot 207 and 308 have to be some of the worst looking modern cars out there.

 

Everytime I see the wheel arches on a 207 I do a little dry boke.

Hope it's ok to post this here John, apologies if not.

 

Had a quick look at the Calibra last night (the pre-face one on eBay) and it didn't look bad at all. Arches were good and the car looked the part, as you said they look loads better than the newer ones too.

I didn't think this was bad at all, but prefer the front grille to the facelift:

The blue 8v, Billy? It does look pretty good apart from the ding on the nsf wing, but the wings are bolted on so shouldn't be too difficult to repair/replace. Are you going to buy it, d'you think?

That's the badger, John. Dents weren't too bad to be fair, but I don't think I can stretch to (anywhere) near the asking price at the moment.

That's the plan! When I finally get off my arse and clean it up some more I'll take it somewhere posh for the pictures and lob it on eBastard.

Nice clean lines at the front of this Yugo 55:

But fresh from the "Croatian carriageway crap" thread, I give you the comparatively munting Zastava (Yugo) Koral:

A bit new to be shite, but they will get there.

These, I think are truly good looking well proportioned cars.

Then they did this.....

Not sure what subaru are doing, but they have/had a very loyal custoer base... they need to be very carefull, they seem to slowly be losing their individuality.
