My gf wants an FJ and she wants it in matte black with a white top. I'm trying to get her to stray away from a white top because the metallic white top would throw off the looks. I suggested a moon roof, and she loved the idea

Get a whole bunch of them, and you can play bumper cars! :dopey:

This is the new one:

That's the S, same panels and platform with different bumpers and hood cutouts and 120kg heavier. And still hideous. The ride looks horrible too IRL.

Top Gear could do a better job than that :sly:

I have to disagree here... I think these two designs are far from ugly and I absolutely love the poise and stance that just oozes from the great use of angles and curves in these. I guess bold designs are always going to be emotive and divisive :)

Pontiac Trans Sport, the vehicular definition of ****.

It also got terrible safety ratings.
 
I suspect a lot of people will like this because it has Zagato written on it, but I think its pretty awful.

I like it and I don't even know what it is.

But, it's not an estate. It's a one-off modern interpretation of the AR Giulia TZ and built for a collector.

Here's the original, which isn't a wagon, either.

I think they're both beautiful, Alfa/Zagato, or not. But I can see why someone wouldn't like the modern one.
 
It did look like an estate in that picture, sorry.

Still the original one looks brilliant, but the new one...:indiff:

What a poor job. It looks the body of another car has been put in a caccoon

Isn't that the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa? (a racing version of the TZ3 Stradale featured in GT6)

Yup. Interestingly, they built the Corsa on an Alfa 8C chassis and the Stradale on a Viper chassis.
