the "just plain ugly" car thread

[Danny]

Happen to have a spare Jaguar Mk II fascia handy?
Bolt it onto a stretched Micra chassis, give it a choice of two underpowered (for it's size) engines, sprinkle on a name that hardly rolls off the tongue and there you have it.

The Mitsuoka Viewt.

 

[TheCracker]

Nice 👍 - is that what Inspector Morse's mother drove?

 

[Danny]

Trident Iceni.

There's such a thing as too many lines.

A shame, as the front is rather lovely.

 

[superberkut]

Is the roof in that top image split?

EDIT: Never mind, I see the seperate roof panels.

Either way, it's still the weirdest car to possess both extremes (beauty and ugliness)

 

[Danny]

 

[superberkut]

Do I even dare ask what this is?

 

[Danny]

Daewoo Scope, thankfully just a concept for the time being...

 

[Danny]

 

[superberkut]

When will the madness end?!?!?!?

Is that a Chinese version of the same car? The picture reads, "Chery Tiggo."

 

[Danny]

Not the same car, but worryingly similar.

Yoyoyo! Who's up for some Dongfeng Sports Saloon?

Yet amazingly, that's not it's worst side.



Brace for impact.

I don't blame anyone who has burst into tears.
Let it all out.

That thing destroyed any hopes for an Israeli car-industry. Made out of some odd cardboard/fiberglass mix, which was infamous of being edible by camels.

Lol, the car is sooo damn F.U.G.L.Y. that it really deserved its own thread. I bet those designers at Dongfeng thought it would be funny to make a car that looks like a pig (ain't it?) But really, that car alone had tarnished whatever future sports car they make is going to look like.....

 

[Firebird]

lest we forget, the 2007> Honda CR-V.

 

[Danny]

An eclectic mix of styles, but...that...grill...

It wasn't born with a chance. :'(

 

[stumpydino]

mmm...ugleh

Graham cars had uglyness down to a tee

 

[land sea air]

the Volvo and second Graham don't look too bad, though the Volvo apparently was a piece of crap

 

[TopHat]

That it was, it was a supreme piece of crap.

Also this:

I don't know why I think its ugly... it just doesn't click with me.

Two words:

Landau Top.

Danachronism, can I sue you to pay for a new set of eyes? That Dongfeng just rendered me blind.

Are those extra lights on the roof in option?

As I recall, those roof lights were indeed an option, as light bars varied between police departments.

 

[Orion]

Concepts are ALWAYS ugly.

 

[TopHat]

Spoiler

No. Its a police car.

EDIT: BTW my above pic is a Dodge St.Regis. And its an 81.

 

[superberkut]

Interesting, though ugly.

Looks like the current line-up of Audi SUVs (the Q5, Q7) from the rear.

 

[TopHat]

Its an Acura. Been an off day for ya?

Yeah man, things aren't just going well, but lets not get too off-topic.

I have never seen a car that looks both good and ugly.

Ugh. Self explanatory.
