ugly ducklings

[Mojo_stevo]

Well, as expected in any market, there is the good stuff, the aight, stuff and the shitty stuff, and the car market is no exception. In the 06' season there are a few particular cars that make me want to vomit, and I'd like to know what you guy's think of these cars.
1. Honda Ridgeline (looks like an Avalanch mixed with Joan Rivers)
2. New Eclipse (Lets just say: good thing they still have the EVO)
3. Nissan XTerra (Hate the new anti-Jenni Craig hips and square lines)

Can you guys think of any others?

new VW's
new subarus
new corvettes (except the headlights which i like, and the 11.1 1/4 time)

i know theres a couple others too

[driftking777]

have to say i LOVE the new corvette...very sexy...lots and lots of power...new Eclipes looks like AUDI could sue them for coping the TT...just looks streached out...the new Cobalt is pretty weak too...

[D-Bo]

all chevs are weak. i've driven all the new ones and they're all shit. maybe its just me but i don't like any chev

[D-Bo]

toyota echo but thats a 2005 (5-door)

[orestes]

i dunno about the new corvettes the first time i saw one i liked it but after that my opinon worsened. the back end looks chopped off and overall just has too much going on i think.

hate the new vette headlights cause i think it takes away from the long lived tradition of the flip ups

I forgot about V-Dub. The GTI is okay, but the Jetta looks too much like the Corolla, and sits hella hight, and the passat looks too much like the Jetta and the Corolla. THe new Tocoma is ugly is some cases. I think the fifth series corvette was much sleeker. I am very upset with chevy, they died in 1972, and they better not try to bring the Chevelle back looking like the GTO .

yeah i prefer the old audi's too same thing with VW its that grilll action they have

[orestes]

a.) none of us have ever said that
b.) yeah its great for $63,000 but its still $63,000 you can take a miata or a 240Z or any number of cheap old cars and make them outperform the corvette, its not the end-all performance car. and its not even exotic,cool, or good looking. IMO

[Mojo_stevo]

I think it would be cool to own a Corvette, however I can think of alot of other things I'd rather spend $63,000 on.

i think the new chargers need to be 2 door, and lose those ugly tail lights, looks like a new intrepid frum the back

[Mojo_stevo]

YESSS why 4 door, at least stick to something original about the car. I guess you gotta think about who they are marketing to... the guy trying to talk his wife into getting the cool 4-door with balls, and not the mom-mobile with out emptying your pockets. BMW's, Audi's, and Infiniti's are still the coolest 4 doors out there though. Love the new 3-series, the new Infiniti M.

charger-4door and NO MANUAL TRANNY (lol)
chrysler is doing some really smart things lately but they really fucked up the charger. took too many cues from the new GTO and poured on the suckitude

aztek
jetta
m45
murano
ridgeline
vue(especially the fugliness of the redline)



but one of the best cars coming out is(i cringe as i say this) the saturn sky. it looks fucking beautiful and if it performs like they say it will be one of the best american made cars in a LONG fucking time.

[orestes]

wait m45 as in infiniti? i kinda like those.
