Ugliest car ever?

Hawk Tuah · 11 Nov 2020 at 16:23

BMW have just released their new 'flagship' electric vehicle. Behold. The new BMW iX. :eek:

Finglonga · 11 Nov 2020 at 16:25

Actually beats the Fiat Multiplas on the Fugly scale.

Nasher · 11 Nov 2020 at 16:27

Yea, crown taken IMO.

But unlike the Fiat Multipla these will be everywhere. The road won't be a pretty place.

The decline of BMW?

It's not great, but I don't think it would be quite so bad if you painted it in a colour that anyone with the slightest modicum of taste would spec a car in.

Its just that god damn awful grill but then all the new BMWs had been beaten by the ugly stick
It doesnt even need the grill FFS

Without the grill it would look very similar to most SUVs

People must spec brown or they wouldn't offer it.

I didn't say that no one would spec it

The only positive I can offer is the rear lights look good, similar to the 8 series.

The flanks have something of a London Taxi about them.

I hope Frank Stephenson reviews it:

If it was all black it would be very non-descript.

Impressively nasty
Those rear arches and the mass of body are much like a Nissan Leaf.

Rroff · 11 Nov 2020 at 17:05

It is almost a good looking car then a few things completely undo it... that grill looks like a retarded fish trying to blow a kiss - once you see it you can't un-see it.

I never get why with things like this someone hasn't at some stage stood back and gone actually we need to go back tweak a few things.

EDIT: Just seen the variant in orange... what on earth are they thinking.

Kenai · 11 Nov 2020 at 17:12

It's as if they're trying to make it look like it's produced by a Chinese knock off manufacturer.

Probably. To be clear, when I said "not quite so bad", I literally meant that. I didn't mean it would look good or anything.

I'm actually getting slight Pontiac Aztek vibes.

someone in the design team has clearly been doing a 'meth along' watching of breaking bad

The interior looks even worse. Like my parents lounge from the 1970's - is that an ash tray or the iDrive controller

peige · 11 Nov 2020 at 17:59

Thats not worse than a fiat Multiplas, not even close.

Why can't we have electric cars that just look like cars

This. The closest I’ve come to buying an electric car was a Mini Electric in February (COVID put an end to that, what with only commuting once a week at most), and that only won due to its “normal” appearance.

The majority of electric cars on the market look like concept cars for the road and I don't really understand why.

I want one that you don't even know is electric just by looking at it.
