The time it took for me to vote SU was faster than the speed of light.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Fastest SU ever. This car is just a big soggy pile of ugly.

 

[UltimateYosh]

Hey look!

This is the ugliest design ever conceived by Mankind. I'd rather drink two bottles of Bombay combined with Sleeping Pills than Sit in one of those let alone drive it.

Seriously Freakin' Uncool.

 

[FerrariF1GT]

I actually don't mind Chinese cars. To me, they're just bland, uninteresting, and they don't pretend to be something.

I normally try my best to avoid Meh, but I will do it here.

[Tornado]

Remember when badly done haphazard body lines was all it took to be noteworthy in ugliness?

 

[FT-1]

If I had exchanges with the person who approved that d-pillar design, it wouldn't be a very nice one. SU.

 

[Jahgee]

Reminds me of a PT Cruiser mixed with an Aztek

Sub Zero

 

[Turbo]

Reminds me of a PT Cruiser mixed with an Aztek

And that is cool in what way?

 

[Jahgee]

And that is cool in what way?

A person who drives a PT Cruiser or an Aztek does not care what people think about them

 

[Tornado]

And they both bought American.

Strangely you've just described their ideal customer

Seriously uncool (and terrible) car.

 

[Dolph Drago]

I think this Ken Greenley guy needs to go back to the Royal College of Art in London...as a student.

ABANDON SHIP ABANDON SHIP.

Seriously, how could somebody vote anything else than "Seriously Uncool"?

Seriously, how could somebody vote anything else than "Seriously Uncool"?

Well,

The car was available in silver.
Just like the Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing

It used an inline four cylinder engine.
Just like the BMW M3 E30.

It also used a V6.
Just like the Honda NSX.

It's not that fast.
Just like original Mini Cooper.

It's quite heavy.
Just like the Bugatti Veyron.

It's a minivan.
Just like the Renault Espace F1.

It is an Asian car.
Just like the Nissan Skyline GT-R.

It can be front engine, rear wheel drive.
Just like the Ferrari 250 GT Lusso

It can be front engine, all wheel drive.
Just like the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione

It is supposed to be related to a boat in some way.
Just like the Amphicar.

It is a luxury vehicle.
Just like the Aston Martin Rapide.

It can have a 6-speed manual transmission.
Just like the BMW M4 (E39)

The Ssangyong relates to such cool vehicles in so many ways. That could make it cool.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Unoriginal as hell comment: Voted Seriously Uncool before the page even loaded up.

No, no and, No.

 

[Sage Ages]

You cannot make a minivan stylish under any circumstances. You just don't.


Seriously uncool.

 

[Turbo]

You cannot make a minivan stylish under any circumstances. You just don't.

Here's the closest thing to stylish:

Otherwise, you're correct. Minivans are either ugly looking, or just plain dull.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Smashed the SU faster than a pimp short on payment.

 

[Panoz]

Ssangyong must be the phrase for "Seriously Uncool" in Korean.

This is dull?

 

[TB]

I will never understand why so many vehicles are designed with the gauges in the center. As the driver, I'm the only one that needs to know how fast I'm going or how much gas I have left.

Other than that, the interior looks pretty decent.

Except for the dildo gear lever.

Exterior-wise, putting a topper on the rear end of a Prius isn't the route I would have taken.

Uncool.

 

[Spacegoat]

Ssangyong

That's as far as I got.

Seriously uncool.

 

[GT'S BiG FaN]

Humanity's lowest low point.

BUT IT ISN'T ANY OF THESE CARS!

(Also, are you sure about the chassis code E39 carrying the designation "M4"?)

 

[ScottPuss20]

I die little inside when I see one of these on the road. Seriously Uncool

 

[axletramp]

At first I was like, "seriously uncool", then I was like "but is it so uncool that it's come full circle and is like cool again", but then I was like "dude, what are you thinking? This jalopy is heinous!" and then I was like, "man, this thing looks like it's gone full circle twice and rammed itself in the ass."

Seriously, dude. Uncool.

 

[Wolfe]

ABANDON SHIP ABANDON SHIP.

Seriously, how could somebody vote anything else than "Seriously Uncool"?

Like the Aztec, it turned out not nearly as ugly as it seemed to be ten years ago. Pretty much the only reason I voted Uncool instead of Meh was after reading the line you quoted there.

And it has four wheels, just like a Miura SV!
