OT: Ugly cars again...

|| Following on from the recent thread a few weeks ago on ugly || cars....I saw this in a car park today... || ||

Hehehe - Looks like a dog f*cking a football.

Apt name - (r)odius

Looks like its been in the sun and melted wonder if they got the idea from the Megane? but you can see a pattern building another SsangYong to crawl into the halls of infamy ( ok do your own Frankie Howerd joke mush- suit yourself ) .Oddly the Rexton actually doesn't look too bad close up ( bloke up road gets the demonstraters) I expect they sacked that designer for straying from the corporate image. The other one which looked familiar the Actyon was that in Who Framed Roger Rabbit ?

They do seem to have carved themselves a particularly unpleasant niche in the market! Not sure how much profit there is in making seriously ugly cars..

That is ugly but I think the "Pacer " is the all time ugliest car ever ever ever. IMO ))

You daft bugger! :-) Made oi larf, that did.

Plus the idiot who wrote the description should tarred & featherd!

I feel sorry for the poor buggers that have to try and sell them.

Eeewwww. as our American friends would say.

Mind, the latest skoda is pretty odd, too.

First heard from a friend (in about 1972) descibing an MZ 150, if you remember those. That description was *really* accurate!

you can grab the picture and pull it around. took me a while to notice that as well, and I don't know what the flashing bits are for either - I did wonder if you click on them you get detail or something, but seems not.

Oh *right*. Thanks. If you keep it turning in one direction you get an effect a bit like those fairground horses that go up and down. Got a bit seasick after a while.

You can't roll it over on its back, either.

Horrible car. Looks like it's adapted from a standard hatchback for some disabled alien. Still can't figure out the flashing lights.

It wasnt Frankie Howard, it was Kenneth Williams as Julius Caesar I belive Derek!

;)

No stop messing about, certainly KW did ( Infamy Infamy they've all got it in for me) but Francis also used the phrase in 'Up Pompeii !' or possibly 'Whoops Baghdad' or both and if I know anything about the lad more that once may be one day the series will be out on DVD a fitting tribute IMHO salute Derek

He was a very funny man, but i dont remember the use in UP though! Mind you Derek, i was only a bin lid then!!!!

Nige

Oh I don't know, the Actyon seems pretty dire too

Looks like the front end of a Saab 93 stitched to the back end of a Citroen Berlingo.

Now thast IS disgusting. Vile. Pretentious. Form over function. Awful. Offensive.

And whoTF wrote the copy? "THE CONSUMMATE URBAN WARRIOR", "Brace yourself. Aggressively styled..." "A striking new mid-range SUV that fuses genuine off-road performance with stunning urban looks".

Er, no. A risible new mid-range softroader that we think looks like it would be a real off-roader, with he-man looks taken from a biro scribble off the back of a 14-yr-old's exercise book.

It actually looks a bit like the PT Cruiser, which says a lot.

Consummate Urban Warrior. I'm still laughing at that bit. What are they ON?
