Once seen, can't be unseen

What annoys you about certain vehicles that once seen can't be unseen? - I'll start with the weird angle at the rear lower half of a Transit door...why not just carry on the vertical?803b9441df558a38200d78e81196e03e.jpg

The presence of a Mercedes Benz, BMW or Audi badge on a four wheeled vehicle. The sight of such is usually followed by an attempt on my motorcycling life.

I think because the fuel flap is there?

The rear door window frames of the Volvo 200 Series estate car:

The black paint on the later models makes the shape of the frames less obvious, but even so...

Ya bastard.  I was thinking a 306 might be an option as well as a 406 estate to replace the legacy.

Crikey.

Sherpa doors are even more wonky; they're only that shape as that's the shape of the J4's doors, the rough clay of which, melded with leftover bits of Oxfords and MGBs, the mighty Sherpa was hewn.

The rear passenger doors on the old Porsche Panamera. Awkward reverse angles make it look like an expensive take on the Ford Anglia / Consul 315

These black bits on windscreens.  Fords in particular, they need cock & balls graffiti.

Non opening rear windows as well.

If you take out the black bit, you end up with the same type of door shape as the Renault 4...

Triumph Dolomite (see also 1300fwd, 1500 and Toledo) door handles sit at different heights/angles front to rear.

This has always bothered me massively.

The old is it/isn't it closed bootlid on the proton persona/wira. 

Just a really shit design and now I'm agitated for the rest of the evening!

In all my years of fucking owning the bastards I never noticed. You can thank @vulgalour for ruining everything.

Except the Anglebox never had rear passenger doors.  But ISWYM... ?

Renault crew cab truck bodies with that horrible rear window design that mimics the front but not in a good way...

The fact the rear doors on the Mk1 Lag estate are clearly just saloon doors and the back looks tacked on.

And the fact the Rover 25 has "bonnet not closed" gaps

I believe it was designed as a saloon and the estate was an add on to the range.

Also,  not having to make tooling for a straight-topped window frame saved money.
