The Caprice is easily fixable by removing the wheels and dropping the height to stock level.

I think that's just a straight up Dodge Avenger isn't it?

Might be, I guess I forgot about the similarity of the side profile of the Avenger to the Charger. Oops. :dunce:

Why would someone do that to an 8-Series... :yuck: One of BMW's best looking cars ever made...

Dodge Charger with a Dodge Avenger front end...?

Bloated looking Mustang

That mustang looks great in my opinion!!

That better NOT be a WRX or an STI.

Admittedly though, the colours themselves are pretty nice, just not the decals and the airbrushed lions and stuff.

Haha, it's a Teardrop WRX; I've seen that before in an old issue of Hot4s magazine (again, a goldmine for this thread). I remember when I was looking at that those years ago (cause I was young and had no clue) I thought it looked sick. Now it MAKES me sick looking at it.
 
CR-X isn't that bad, remove the hood scoop and it would be good. (Drop in a K24, and upgrade the suspension to match and it would be REALLY nice, right now it looks like a mid 90s boxy style touring car. 👍)

Ford Probe, dull and bland.
BMW 8-series, dull, bland and expensive (when new).

I think the 8 series is awesome looking. Certainly one of the best looking BMWs.
 
Not a questionable car, it is, in fact, one of the nicest looking cars I've ever seen.

How can you not like the 8 series? It's almost nicer looking than the Lotus Carlton (a hard act to follow on its own.)

Personal tastes (thankfully) differ, I liked it when it was current I'll admit but since then it didn't age well (me neither I have to admit). ;)
 
The taillights, wheel arches, exhaust tips... :drool: I disagree, analog. It's aged better.


In a world now full of Hyundais, it's nice to see an 8 series being a breath of fresh air.


Hyundais are more common, and they're the boring/tasteless ones. That's why so many people feel the need to modify them, just to give it some (most often wrong) taste.
 
-> I wonder if that 8-series had a front-rear collision that prompted that makeover. To be honest; I kinda like the way they did it, it made the car look 'lighter' on a design standpoint. And it was pretty well done!

I actually think the house looks alright with those taillights. Certainly more interesting of a design than the normal units.



Otherwise awful though, yeah.
 
Too much "boxiness" in that rear fender fabrication.

FAB Design is either equally as bad as or worse than Gemballa in what they're doing.
 
I looked up New Hampshire cars, because I was trying to figure out a riddle for the Guess the Manufacturer GT5 thread, and this came up..
