I dont care who owned it - that interior is just terrible

Looks like a shamrock shake threw up in there!!

I thought the Juke looked awful in ads, but I saw a nice red one in real life the other day and I think it's actually pretty cool looking!

No idea what the inside is like though.

Very dramatic car in real life with a space age interior, totally unique looks. I certainly wouldn't call it vile.

Beauty!!!!!! Fabulous car in so many ways and the greatest laugh to drive this side of a TVR or a Lamborghini.

I've always thought these Hyundai Coupes looked bad......

and apart from the E60 I never liked most of what Chris Bangle designed for BMW. Stuff like the bootlids on the E65 and 6 series just looked awful imo especially when you think what could have been.

Then theres this, looks so awkward compared to its predecessor. S Class is no better.

Ireland was just too conservative a market for them.

Not me, I bought one new in 2000. Brilliant car. My brother bought one after he saw mine. Out current S-Max is better all round, but massively more expensive and very conservative looking.

Those have Fiats have to be THE worst looking motor ever. I cannot understand who in the factory looked at the concept model and said....molto bello

G'wan ourra that. Thats a class looking yoke. Their solution to overcome the wardrobe style aerodynamics was to stick the engine from the Countach into it.

Pure genius.

I disagree with all of the above. The Hyundai Coupe is stunning considering how much they cost (also considering its from the asian market, they dont do style), and the CL63 is a savage looking beast of a car. I have lost all respect for you now.
I think you should leave tbh

Disagree on Hyundai Coupe. I think it looks like dying dolphin or something.

I totally agree on CL63 though. Excellent car with excellent design. Wouldn't say so for the previous model.

I could never understand why this was produced...:

It just looks so incorrectly proportioned.

But seriously, all skodas.

I am sorry but the X6 is actually quite nice looking, BMW are onto something there and will be copied in time

Remember how all critics at first criticises the rear of the 7 series? Only for many manufacturers to copy it few years later and the new "ass" model turning out a best-seller?

And of course there is that nice X6 posted in parallel "look what i seen today" thread

I tried to post this yesterday...
I think (though not 100% sure) the fake wood panels were an option:eek::eek:

MugMugs · 25-08-2011 5:12pm

I must admit I am quite suprised to be the first to put this one up

dharn · 25-08-2011 5:23pm

thats not a vile, car i dont own a skoda or usually defend them but they are far from vile

Hogzy · 25-08-2011 6:36pm

As predicted people confuse a car that is vile with a car that they personally dont like.

Wow, that is finding a new level of awfulness!
This is simply in another league, it's the Pavarotti of being awful.
How's this grab you?:

The rear wheels look like they came of a skateboard, this thing is Vile with a capital V!

One persons opinion may not suit another. The Multipla as ugly as it may be to one could be disliked by the masses due to Top Gears criticism of its looks. There is no confusion just conflicting opinions and personal taste.

Aye. I've passed two in the past 3 days and I had to resist the urge to run it off the road

lintdrummer · 25-08-2011 10:53pm

It looks like they've mixed up the design and put the back at the front... and then just forgot to put a back end on it at all.

Awful looking yoke.

Top Gear mustn't have hated it that much they voted it car of the year!

Correct. But they hammered its looks quick Google gets you "Originally the MPV that made ugliness an asset,"

I say when Toyota Nissan created this car design it was the day that Japan first discovered the drug 'crack cocaine'.

Sorry about that bit of a brain fart there, wasn't feeling to well last night!

PseudoFamous · 26-08-2011 1:27am

Mercedes A Classes were pretty popular for a while, then they all suddenly and thankfully disappeared. Whenever I saw one, I would get instantly angry at humanity for allowing such a monstrosity to exist. Where they went, I neither care nor want to know.

Yup, that's a nissan, I reckon he's thinking of this Scion xb (which is very similar)

Mully_2011 · 26-08-2011 3:11am

One of these with a diesel

v8 ones are cool though

FGR · 26-08-2011 3:27am

I still can't get my head around it. Did they let the intern/art student come in and do this project to keep the greens happy in Germany?

Don't agree with either of the above two!

Especially the A2. That car was ahead of it's time IMO and vastly underrated.

lintdrummer · 26-08-2011 10:45am

I'd agree with the A2. People seem to forget that we're just talking about looks here and that was a vile car. My economics teacher had one when I was in school. We took the piss out of her no end.
The chrysler I like. There's no difference in looks between the diesel and v8 is there?
