Cars so ugly,they are beautiful

LOL @ Pacer's design plan for 'small car'

"Make it huge, and put a 4.8l engine in there".

Haven't seen any of these for ages, then I pass two on the A50 this afternoon within a couple of minutes of each other...

Or, according to Dudley moore in Crazy People:

 

[Alexg]

Allegros - Ok its not an oil painting but it seems it has an undeserved reputation for being a total minger.

@Amazo:

 

Indeed! I've always loved RWD Volvos because they are so unashamedly 'substance over style'

[Albert Ross]

Ladles and Jellyspoons. The Studebaker Avanti.

But Amazons were pretty as well as 'ard. The P1800 was a stunner even if it was a bit crap at rallying and rots with the best of 'em.

I consider the Amazon to be the prettiest Volvo of all

One of my favourites, the Citroën DS…

They are beautiful, full stop . Ugly doesn't come into it.

The Paykan facelift!

 

[Wilko220]

It makes it look (slightly) like a Mk1 Granada...

[Morgan84]

The Paykan Hunter I guess does have that MK1 Granada look,in the same 'twisted' way the Mitsuoka Viewt resembles a MK2 Jaguar

 

You have to admit though,Ssangyong are really brave guys for consistantly building ugly tack mobiles - you have to admire them. Still,the Daewoo version of the Musso I think completely killed it off - its bad enough Daewoo were substandard dated crap based on good cars,but to base a cheap tack-mobile on a already crap car was asking for trouble !

The Citroën Xsara Picasso - UGLY - full stop.

 

The fact that he's written the fucking awful thing off - BEAUTIFUL!

 

[Amazo]

Any Edsel:

 

[Albert Ross]

Are the kids in that Edsel looking at:

 

A, All the crap that fell off it?

 

B, The oil slick?

 

C, The plume of smoke from the fucked engine?

 

D, A reliable car going the other way?

Is it my imagination that the car is sitting lower on the driver's side, despite being offset by the weight of his wife & kids? Fat bastich.

[Albert Ross]

Spring fell off. Broken axle. Bent chassis. All standard from new.

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

Did they manage to sell 1959 of them? Not bad...

They're not the worst looking car in the world, especially when viewed from a front quarter aspect after a few cans of beer and smoking a cigarette in the front porch.

A styling atrocity, whilst being mechanically adroit:

 

I don't know why everyone harps on about the Dart being ugly. It's no oil-painting, but it's not a sodding 'atrocity'.

 

Plus, they sound bloody fantastic.

[Captain Mainwaring]

In case any clarification were needed on my point...

Quite true; THIS is a sodding atrocity. In Top Trumps Ugly Cars Of The World, this is top of the shop, Numero Uno, with the possible exception of one other...

L&G, don your goggles, get the kids to a safe distance: I give to you The Aurora Safety Car, the Joseph Merrick of the automobile world:

 

 

You'll be seeing that in your sleep tonight; make sure you check under the bed too...

[Captain Mainwaring]

Cap'n, the cameraman's XKE sitting there to the left of the frame makes my point.

 

Now, the 'XKE', that truly is an atrocity, courtesy of Uncle Sam.

 

Glad to see we're on the same wavelength re: the SP250 though.

[Albert Ross]

Uncle Sam? What'd he have to do with the XKE?

 

US NADA was the only market the "E" Type was called the XKE. Ergo it makes you lot a set of wankers. It's a fucking "E" Type. So bollocks. Ner

There you go, Norm.
