Re: Re: What is the most retarded looking car on the streets today?

Ssangyong is a Korean company that was formerly owned by Daewoo before they went bust. They were recently bought out by Shanghai Automotive.

They make mainly 4WD's, powered by Mercedes Motors, there is the Musso (An aged SUV that's been around since 1994), the Korando (A paralell universe Jeep Wrangler), the Rexton (An impressively modern 4WD which is better than most Japanese competitors), the Rodius (An 11 seat MPV, which also can be had in 7 and 9 seat versions) and the Chairman (An old E Class Benz made under license)

The Magnum is the best looking station wagon available in the US. Also one of the fastest.

Have you seen them in person? They're hideous. And I don't think you can say its better looking than all of these models, which are available as wagons: subaru forrester, outback, legacy; volvo v50, v70, xc70; mercedes e320, e500, c240; bmw 325i, 325xi (and older 5 series wagons); and then there's all the small SUV's that would serve the same purpose, such as the ford freestyle, etc. To me all the new redesigned dodges (excluding the viper) just look like they tried too hard. ie, the durango and the magnum, among others. But whatever, its just my opinion.

Re: What is the most retarded looking car on the streets today?

On the Fugly topic, I have to say Toyota Echo, Ford Focus, and Pontiac Aztec. The Toyota Matrix/Pontiac Vibe are also on the pretty ugly list. I personally HATE the Prowler and Viper. The Prowler has some nice roots, but the overall execution of design is not something I can like. The Viper is a little too "batmobile" for me. Its just a globulous formless mass that looks like the panels are misaligned by 5 inches.

I personally love the new magnum. I'm just glad that there is a REAL station wagon available again. I've never been much of a Mopar fan, but Kudos to them for single handedly bringing back the wagon as a fast, affordable, and viable performance vehicle.... But you've all seen what I drive...

Re: What is the most retarded looking car on the streets today?

Most any rice ball car in the low to mid priced range is a clone car. Not to say there aren't US cars that are ugly but the jap stuff just melts together like a bad LSD trip all looking the basic same. There are some interesting designs at times but mostly in the pricey range.

Re: What is the most retarded looking car on the streets today?

I think that the Scion Xb is the ugliest car followed by the Aztek. I don't think the the FX45 should be on this list because i think that they are really sweet looking SUV's. If i bought an SUV, the FX45 would be the first one i'd buy...followed by a Cayenne Turbo.

Re: What is the most retarded looking car on the streets today?

Oh god, I have seen a few uglies in my day. The P.T Cruiser tops it though. Most rice burners are up on the list, with those huge exhaust pipes, and rediculous wings that don't do shit, the sound pumping so loud the pope is going deaf.

Chrystler Crossfire. http://www.chrysler.com/crossfire/fe...ery/index.html

Some like it, when I see one it places the look of disgust on my face and almost even a bitter taste in my mouth.

Actually now that I put a little more thought toward it.. you could include everything in the chrystler line up. Maybe an exception for the 300, but it would have to be black and I would need a matching suit and a tommy gun.
