It's official, this is the ugliest car ever made

Only the french could build such a thing!

meh,
citrons have never looked too flash

wow....i'm just speechless.

looks like a Prius ran into a station wagon.


ok so i'm not speechless

almost threw up, 5000 rpm redline, lol. Inside looks pretty nice though (the seats I mean) I don't like french cars.

It looks like an astranged hearse

uh!........and i thought the aztec was ugly

almost threw up, 5000 rpm redline, lol. Inside looks pretty nice though (the seats I mean) I don't like french cars.

the old 4 banger to my fiero had a 5k rpm redline, with like a 'orange' line at 4500 rpm

i've seen worse, i could ditch the leather though.

it kindda looks like the dodge magium, if it was made 20 years ago...

Hmm...

I'd sport it! :thumbsup:

boof.

I've said it before, the Citroen CX is a fantastic looking car. Not your typical German/Jap/Yank box (Aka a car with the all personality of a public servant).


Don't hate those who innovate!

the old 4 banger to my fiero had a 5k rpm redline, with like a 'orange' line at 4500 rpm

Ha, I can beat that. My car has a 2.7L I6 that has a 4500 RPM redline, with the little orange line at 4250! Hence why I redline it on every shift once the engine warms up :evillol:

U think those cars are bad, have a look at these they will make u cry. i mean sum of the stuff people do to cars and what did they ever do to them..dumb ricer's
Enjoy

Hey, at least it's decently fast. BTW, ROFL at the Neon on that last link.

Well, in my opinion still better looking than the Magnum...

the biggest thing i hate about that car is the steering wheel. it annoys me. why would you make a steering wheel look lik that.

lol, i want the jacked up neon in the link mr. corrola posted, that is hilarious.

it fast toping out at 140 mph 0-60 7.6 sec. ! that thing could smoke my old gs eclipse ! still wouldn't sport it though looks like one of those ambulances they used to use in those batman 66 re runs i would see

on the other hand maybe you're not used to shapes like these in the US... this classic is considered very beautiful and stylish in Europe not to mention individual...not all big cars have to look like Buicks you know. :nono:

i dunno, the citroen has great resale value (*sarcasm*)

i saw one on Carsales.com.au for $1, and i'm not joking, it's sold now but the guy wanted $1 (i'm suprized it sold for that much)

to the Americans that $1 is in Aussie dollars it's about 75 US cents

Thats so Gangsta :lol2: :rofl: :screwy:

if a kid drew it as a pic, i'd give him props. But if toyota is really doing that, thats the worst thing Toyota will ever do...

I'm going to pretend that you didn't say that- in reference to an 80's model citroen. Yes, that particular body style was over twenty years old in 1987- this does not make it "classic"- anytime, anywhere. I'm sure that it is considered far more pallatable to look at in Europe, but not classy- or classic.
Everyone made mistakes in the 80's- including the french! I've seen alot of really lame Alfas from the 80's, along with probably the most mediocre Ferraris ever made. Jags were horrible then.

In 1987, the Citroen sxwhatever was not considered innovative, either- so don't even try it. It was, at best, exactly what it is now, a French eccentricity.

and it IS ugly.

Eeeeh what? :confused: You're off the mark here. Just so that next time you know these CX cars sold very well all over Europe. In fact up until a few years ago they were quite a common site. So NO it was no eccentric failure just because you happen not to like it! Classy? Compared to most executive sedans of the time (Mercedes W123 etc) YES! If you ever saw one parked right next to you your opinion might be different. Of course you're always welcomed not to like it. Classic? Today you can find dedicated CX specialist workshops OUTSIDE of France. If you don't understand the significance of that I'm sorry I can't help you. EITHER WAY talking about Citroens in the ''ugliest'' thread is irrelevant. Let's talk about Dodge Rams!

back seat looks comfortable :thumbsup:

Ok, Ok. I may see your point-
Kinda.

What I find so unattractive isn't neccessarily the overall design, really. It's in the details; the cheeeeezy hubcaps, and the Chrysler 5th ave. upholstry, the overall cheap-looking design treatments. It all smacks of what so many near-failing european carmakers did during this time (or close to this time); releasing models without sincere redesigns, based upon great early models- but most importantly because they were nearly broke.
(in American slang this means near bankruptcy)

I really kind of dig the SM models, but this model is, well, pretty tacky.
I can tell that you respect these cars, and that must account for something, but really, must you?
In accounting for this car's appeal across Europe, I can say only this- it reminds me of the British club-inspired music that held significant world-wide popularity for a total of about, well, three years or so. Coincidentally, in just about the same period of time that this car was made. I could ride in this car for one night, really, listening to Heaven 17 and Haircut 100, ABC, and the Modern english.

Before I came to my senses.

lol, oh man.. a harsh blow dealt to the citroen lovers of the world..

Looking at some details I might agree with you but don't forget this car came out in the 1970s...
In conclusion........
I'm not really a die-hard Citroen fan but I respect them as an innovative company (remember the ID/DS cars) that managed to be a big player (at least in the European market) while going their own way especially design-wise... and especially in the conservative compulsory- three-boxes executive car market.

:2cents:

Well said.

if you like that car, you should see this other type of beauty which closely resembles. Take a peek at this work of art.
