the "just plain ugly" car thread

What the actual **** is that?

Edit: The new Lexus IS is fine, the 2026 Lexus ES however... that's another story.

What is going on with Ferrari?? Over the decades they mastered to integrate the current design trends in their designs, while still keeping their elegance and own design language, having their very own take on these design trends. Now without Pininfarina it goes all downhill very quickly..

Visually, the 849 Testarossa looks it borrowed from every other Ferrari for ideas.

The current Mercedes-Benz SL generation has been slowly growing on me at some angles. But the Purespeed (speedster) does not look right with the closed off nose.

(only because of the color combo)
I SWEAR THAT I DIDN'T ORDER THIS (for real I just like testing configurators to see how bonkers I can go)

More like a parrot ordered it than a platypus.

I love the colour in the interior, but considering the Phantom is such a wonderful, stately design, it baffles me that they got the Cullinan so wrong.

I don't think it's a bad looking car. Quite striking look actually.

Most new Mercedes models are pretty good designs. EQ series is horrible though and that new CLA. But the new AMG GT is one of the best looking cars in a long time.

I think it's the same problem Porsche had with the Cayenne when they popped the corporate face on stilts. Next generation will probably get it a bit better.
