Ugliest car ever?

I wonder if Bug One knows any boxing stances?

It’s a shame the guy on here with a Ford Scorpio didn’t create the thread.....

I quite like the grille on the new 4-series but man, that one is gash.
It's far from the ugliest car ever made though.

Ssangyong thing:

PT Cruiser:

Aston Lagonda:

Tesla Cybertruck:

I dunno, I think the BMW even beats those for ugly.

Jonnycoupe · 14 Nov 2020 at 15:08

I think this iX is a design vision still so still changes to happen before production.

Nasher · 14 Nov 2020 at 15:23

Yea, probably an even larger grille.

vanpeebles · 14 Nov 2020 at 15:24

I love the Lagonda, proper Thunderbirds futuristic.

Fixed that for you

Seriously, look at the interior. I love it!

Yeah I agree - the Multipla was no doubt a very ugly car, but it seemed to wear it's ugliness well because you got the feeling that they'd just tried to design it from a purely functional standpoint.

I had one. Ask any owner and they’ll rave about them as family transport. They were awesome really. Not pretty but it does grow on you.

Like seeing boxing stances do you???

The interior looks like a 1960s living room.

Nothing will ever beat this. Absolutely terrible.

According to Wikipedia the design is meant to capture the essence of a luxury yacht...

It's functional though. Unlike a massive front grille on an EV.

Jonnycoupe · 14 Nov 2020 at 22:08

Don’t make me explain it again.

Why are they doing this to us?

The proportions on that front are horrendous :eek:

My guess is because they don't want to make electric cars.

They want to pollute with old large gasoline engines

It is actually functional, but not as a grille in the traditional sense. It's for all the sensors etc for adaptive cruise control and other technologies.

And it still needs to cool the large condensers and low temp circuits with a much lower temperature differential than an ICE at 95C.

I understand that but surely manufacturers could do it more discreetly. You do not need a massive grill like in a ICE.

Indeed. There are alternative concepts. The new Opel/Vauxhall design has a "Vizor" across the front which does the same job in a more aesthetically-pleasing fashion. We'll see it first on the new Mokka. https://www.vauxhall.co.uk/cars/new-mokka/model-overview.html#_new-mokka-models-petrol-diesel

Jonnycoupe · 15 Nov 2020 at 11:14

Yeah you can do discrete. Don’t compared a Mokka to 500bhp AWD 100kWh car though
