Worst redesigned styling

[bayouwolf]

What formerly great looking car has the worst redesigned styling?

[Jimster]

Hyundai Coupe. in 1996 it was a fantastic looking little two door coupe. Then in 1999 it got a facelift that made it look like something from outer-space.



Luckily the 2002 model put things right.


Other shit-listers include
-Honda Civic hatch (2001, morphing into the 2003 atrocity)
-Pontiac GTO (Looked good in 1964 and then there came the 1971 model, oh dear......)

2006 Dodge Charger R/T
2005 Honda Civic SI

The proposed Skyline Prototype.

and.....Thunderbird, Eclipse, a couple of the Ford and Toyota pickups, almost all of the BMW's (poor BMWs i feel so bad for them)

Ferrari 456 GT morphing into the 612

Hyundai Coupe mk1 -> Hyundai Coupe mk1 (facelift)

Amen to that. It doesn't even resemble a Skyline at all.

Definantly the GTO...now it just looks like a grand prix.

I think the new Pontiac GTO looks far more bland than ugly. The 2004 Pontiac GTO Ram Air 6 doesn't look too bad. It wasn't a production car.

The new BMWs take the ugly cake.

Here is a Kia Rio and a 2004 BMW 525i which costs around $43,000 for just 184 hp for 2005! The Kia Rio came out in 2001. Notice the trunk lines and the lines from the rear fenders that stop at the taillights.





Here is the new BMW 6 series. Notice the hideous trunk.



The BMW Z4 looks like a smashed toy car with all of those lines and angles. This green is a factory BMW color which is called "Urban Green." They no longer offer it for good reason.



Here is a BMW 850CSi. This was the big, fast BMW coupe for the 90s. It was tuned by BMW M.



Here is a BMW E34 M5 (second generation M5). Notice the clean, understated lines. Who would think that this ten-year-old car has over 310 hp?

Personally I think the late nineties E39 5-Series and the E46 3-Series are the height of BMW styling, not the 8-series and E34. I also wouldn't go so harsh on the new 6-Series. I think that they are great looking cars (especially in black). The E60 5-Series has grown on me alot, and I like the E60 M5 styling alot. I'd take a E60 5er anyday over a E-Class, A6, etc...





My least favorite redisign is the new A6. Im not liking the giant nose.

Haha, this post should be in the car joke area, right??

[Muscletang]

1. GTO (it's a Grand Am/Sunfire with a LS-2)
2. Charger (a 4 door family sedan with the headlights of a Viper and the rear end of an Intrepid)
3. T-Bird (what happened there?)

Anyone seen the new Jetta? It looks exactly like a new Toyota Corolla. VW just ruined a great car. Why, God? WHY!?!?!

[drunken monkey]

ok... let's see....first off, i don't like the new beetle.
it's not the looks of it, rather i don't like the fact that it really is a golf in disguise.
i don't think i would've half minded if they actually did anything to the mechanicals underneath it.
on the other hand, i'm not sure oif the new beetle looks better then the old.... well, given a choice i would take an nice 1973 beetle over a brand new one.

i'm also not too keen on the new mini.
i know it's a cracking car and all that but well, park it next to a REAL mini and you will begin to understand what i don't like.
well... it's NOT mini.
it looks the part but next to something like an A4 and you can see just how big and chunky the mini is.

i know, both of these are really minor and quite petty points so now for a car that i really don't like the re-design of.

3200GT......
you all know what i'm talking about....

kidding..... kind of.
ahem.
i really don't like the new peugeot 407.
how did they get from the quite classy 406 AND especially the absolutely gorgeous 406 coupe that the long nosed monstrosity that is the 407?
the only colour that makes the 407 look half dencent is black but that's only because it hides the lines and details.
