Hideous!

[pogweasel]

Happened across one of these whilst in a queue on the M11 (I will blame Trig). I have never seen one before and was astonished by it's utter fugliness....

 

 

I don't even know where to begin with the complete wrongness & therefore futureshite rightness of it's aesthetics.

I am sad that I don't have a 'proper' job you know with a pick-what-you-want company car policy, I would deffo go for something like this (or a Chrysler sebring, or some fugly korean thing) just to be contrary

 

By the way, it's a Jeep Compass.

[dollywobbler]

That really does look like a car designed by committee - and they each got a different bit to work on themselves. Clearly the wheelarch department fell out with the wheel size department at some point.

Nobody who has a company car, with or without choice, is doing a "proper" job. The only ones who are, sidle in every morning in their 25-year-old Volvos and get treated like shit all day. Oops, betraying my blue-collar roots there!

 

And yeah, even Detroit can get it wrong.

And yeah, even Detroit can get it wrong.

Even as an unashamed American car apologist, I consider that to be the understatement of the century!

 

'Thanks' for sharing this Pog, i'd never seen one before. Even the name is shit. I would argue over it's future-shite status though, despite the horrendous looks and almost total lack of purpose in it's existence, I bet they flog bloody millions of the things (although probably not over here, granted), therfore making it far too successful to ever truely be genuine Shite.

Look on the bright side, Tagora owners now have a source of replacement arches.

[ashmicro]

Have to say that I like that.

[whitevanman]

Damn...thats ugly

[warren t claim]

There's a Jeep the same as that parked in the shittiest part of Liverpool and not even the local vandals will touch it. They probably think that any damage will improve its looks.

[Pillock]

*vomits*

[ChinaTom]

Coincidence - one of these pulled up next to us at some traffic lights this afternoon in the exact same colour. Shut-lines were all over the place - looked like it was terribly made.

 

A little later, I saw my first QQME. It's all the rage, but hideous kinds of sums it up for me. It's probably a grower.

 

[Guest]

Please say the door opens like a dishwasher. That would be great!

[trigger]

Are they made out of metal?, they look like one of those plastic cars that would destroy itself in a hailstorm.

[eddyramrod]

All the examples shown look like something I might have drawn when I was about 10 years old. Another career opportunity missed... damn!

[boobydoo]

I am delighted to announce that I currently have one for sale at Mercedes/Chrysler Stevenage for anyone who is looking to purchase one!!

 

08/08 in Black metallic , 20,000 miles £12995.00. Balance of manufacturers warranty. It is quite simply the ugliest car you could imagine with all the street cred of an S Club Juniors T-shirt.

 

It always reminds me of one of these:

 

....

 

..but is actually based on the Jeep Patriot which is actually quite popular!

 

 

You can't buy them new anymore, I think the latest is 09 plate, but even these were imported in 2007 and hung around the docks for two years unsold. Alloy wheels were all corroded and had to be replaced under warranty prior to delivery to customers. Sorry, customer.

 

If anyone fancies a real laugh I think I kept some brochures for it as I thought they might be worth something in 20 years time!!!!

In the fugliness championship the undisputed league leaders have to be Ssangyong.

 

I give you their first attempt to crack the UK market, the Musso:

 

 

Next up was the Korrando (uh-oh, slipping there lads, this one's starting to show hints of normalness):

 

 

Then a brief period under Daewoo ownership, then independence again which produced the Rodius (phew, after a shaky time, you're bang on form lads):

 

 

Next up, the Rexton (uh-oh, worryingly Merc-like styling):

 

 

And lastly, the Kyron (nicely back to form lads, this one has the sort of half-arsed rear styling we know and love):

 

 

Plus some commercial vehicles for your enjoyment:

 

 

 

 

And, not looking to bad really, the clearly Merc based Chairman:

 

[Cavcraft]

It looks like a cardboard box that a kid stamped on.

[barrett]

Hey, the S-Y Chairman looks like a game old thing! That's got Hirst written all over it. If I was the chairman of a company, I would definitely roll in one of those. I wonder if they'll import one if you ask nicely enough?

Just to think that carried a Mercedes badge at one point:

 

 

Though I found the Musso looked fairly normal compared to some of the others shown there.

[eddyramrod]

Well chosen, Formula. I remember stopping on the M55 one morning after a Korando decided to mount the central reservation. Not cross it, you understand: mount. I stayed until the constabulary arrived. Least I could do.

 

Oh yes, and there's a Musso for sale in the next village. Wouldn't touch it! Merc engine... is there an emoticon for shudder?

[Milford Cubicle]

I like every Ssangyong ever created. I don't think they're that ugly, especially compared with the worst that western manufacturers can come up with.

[Formula Autos]

More modern fugliness.

 

The Toyota Yaris Verso:

 

 

 

The Hyundai Atoz (A to Z, geddit? No? I'll get me coat...):

 

 

 

Daewoo Tacuma:

 

 

 

And the surprising premium contenders, the BMW X6:

 

 

and Porsche Panamera:

 

 

and Cayenne:

 

 

[Guest]

I quite like that Ssangyong crew cab pickup. The styling is mesmerisingly inconsistent. It looks like the styling department wanted to give it a rakish nose but were then stymied by Engineering, who lobbed the nearest bonnet on they could find off a completely different car and \ or small truck.

 

Or perhaps someone is a fan of the Lincoln Zephyr. Who knows.

[boobydoo]

Come on boys! Weve reduced it from £12495 to £12489!! Save £6!!!!!!!!

 

Now thats a bargain!!!

[worldofceri]

Ahem. I think you'll find that's a late nineties Ford Scorpio.

 

Oh. Hang on a minute...

[Timewaster]

utter fugliness....

 

BoogieBoogie!

[boobydoo]

 

THE low point in Mercedes-Benz history. Never before or never again (hopefully) will MB produce such UTTER SHITE.

 

Launched in 2002 deleted 2005. They actually had the arrogance to think that people would pay £15-£20k for this abortion because it had the 3 pointed star.

 

We sold one.

 

The rest that Merc forced us to take we put on as service courtesy cars.... but people actually refused to drive them.

Proving beyond doubt that the general public is actually brighter than I ever believed, and also than Mercedes believed.

[Milford Cubicle]

I don't think any car in existence is as hideous as the Peugeot 308.

 

 

The review page I nicked the image from opens with the line 'Rugby fans will already be familiar with the new Peugeot 308. It’s sporty, feline looks]were a firm fixture on our television screens during the Rugby World Cup.'

 

WHAT!! It's a gopping gargoyle features horror

Agreed. Since the demise of the 607, Peugeot cars have been truly vile.

[Negative Creep]

Mazda seem to have gone down the Pugeot styling route as well
