    Worst car design

    As we're always going on about good looking cars (the BMWs, the Porsches, the Lambos and Ferraris) i thought i'd be fun to go the other way and have a look at the ugly ones. Where it's obvious that a design team has poured thousands of manhours into designing and refining a Gallardo, it is equally obvious that other cars haven't been so lucky and it often leaves you wondering how the final design ever got approved and into production.

    Show us a picture of what you to be the ugliest car of all. To be fair, the car must be stock (no aftermarket mods), and it must be a mass market model (i.e. no electric, experimental, concept, prototype etc). Just normal cars, that you see a lot, that leave you wondering how they ever got through design approval.

    I'll start. The candidate: (last generation) Citroen C5. The issues: the awful, awful front end, the headlights. I had one of these as a hire-car once and it's got to be the most hideous car i've ever seen (to be fair, i've driven worse cars). It looks like an elephant...the bonnet is too high at the top end, it's higher than any other part of the bodywork! People might say i'm being overly-critical but there's something about this car which makes me feel nauseous. I hate it!



    So, what car leave you wondering "how the hell did that one slip through the net..."?

    I'm going to hit close to home!

    I think the BMW x3 is one hell of a good candidate... :puke: No offense to anyone who owns it... but seriously, what the hell were they thinking?! I mean it looks like they took bits and pieces from their ranges and plastered them onto a vehicle...

    That truly was a sad day in BMW history!!!

    The rear end... I mean SERIOUSLY?!?! I could kill whoever was in charge of that project... MAKES ME MAD!!!

                They have talked about that car on Top Gear too, it also looks similar to Doge Caliber..
                The name itself defines how the car is.. :)
