I hate to bash Citroen, because they have a tradition of making strange looking cars. The DS, 2CV, and SM are totally classic, but the current C6 doesn't do it for me.

Re: AMC. I love all those weirdo cars they designed in the 1970s. If I had the means, I'd make a documentary about them while all or most of the designers are still alive.

^^^otm & would watch
i kind of think that '86 unveiling of the fucking Taurus was the point where Ford (and American auto makers in general) just said "fuck it, trucks & SUV's are where it's at. We'll put the 'B' team designers on the shitty mid-priced sedans. I doubt anyone will buy them anyhow."
but buy them my parents did. over and over and over...
my god that '81 mustang is depressing.

"do you object to it being posted here as an ugly car?"
Well, I think it's beautiful! So, of course it's not ugly!
"your username might produce some cognitive dissonance because the grand cayman based owner, proprietor and to some extent spiritual leader of the ilxor.com forums used to post as 'Haberdager'"
My username is a lot older than any others here or anywhere else on the internet. In the year 872, a Viking king named Harald HaarFager (Norwegian for 'fair hair'), united all of Norway into the first true Viking kingdom. And seeing as how I'm directly related to him, that's been my username on the internet for almost 20 years. I hope the fact that my distant relatives loved to rape and pillage doesn't cause any "cognitive dissonance" of it's own! Ha ha!

I do agree about the radio unit - it's awful! Mine has a couple knobs broken off and I have to use needlenose pliers to turn on heater. Poor design.
