i thought the z4 looked cool from the outside, but the interior is boooooring!
i'll also have to agree with shaskan, that is one nasty mini!

I agree that the Z4 does look better in person, but I think that the front hood, or in our terms, bonnet is way to big for the car, and I also would take it over the mercedes SLK.

Merc / Daimler Crysler - Smart

It seems likely that the name 'smart' represents the 'smarting' sensation one feels after paying good money for one of these plastic novelties. The car shown has suffered a 65km/h head-on crash, which initially seems rather good, but what the manufacturer failed to mention was that it was a 65km/h crash into a swimming pool full of marshmallows.

Citroen DS

Known to strange individuals as "The Goddess." Obviously this was the Goddess of people with vision defects. For some bizarre reason many people seem to think that this car is a design classic. I think not. It's as attractive as a slug-filled croissant.

I can't stand the new Z4...it has weird lines in all the wrong places and the sidemarkers are atrocious.

Everyone seems to agree that Citroen makes the ugliest cars around (half the pics are of citroens), but does anyone think the Xsara (esp the WRC version) has great sex appeal? Who wudda thunk?



Oh, and my ugly car of the moment.

I hate Echos!!! How much did they spend on design, somebody's change from beneath their seat cushions? They could have paid me half what they spend and I could have drawn up something twice as good.

A '62 Plymouth Valiant. Chrysler's answer to the VW bug. Only with lots of fins.

This is a 1950 Saab 92. It's a two-stroke and was designed to be aerodynamic.
Saab made many ugly cars from the post-war period through the '60s.
Luckily not many made it to the U.S.

Going for a ride in one of these has all the appeal of going on a dinner date with Joseph Stalin. Worse still, if you parked up against a wall you couldn't get out of the thing.

They refer to this as the "tailgate cabana" on their website.

I cannot stand the Scion. Even the CDs they gave away are terrible (minus two songs).

This is a very dangerous thread.

Dave in Denver did just add quite a bit of fuel to the mix however; bashing parent company BMW is a no-no. Dave: did you know that Chris Bangle is the MANAGER for the styling department, he has very little creative input, Bangle is not the enemy for your dissatisfaction and/or misinterpretation of BMW's new styling themes! It's really not fair to prejudge styling until they've undergone the "test of time". The 2002 is still classically beautiful, as is the 3.0csi.

Cheers,
Ryan
