I give you the 1994 MASERATI Ghibli...it's a MASERATI...

I'll see your '94 Ghibli and raise you a mid-80s Biturbo:

auto industry RIP

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.

I want to shout out at the designers "stop trying to make it look vaguely normal, go ALL THE WAY"

I don't understand.

my first, and best looking, car:

what was that fucking dodge that came out where it looked like an off-the-rack hotrod with an open wheelwell...?

^^ I'm rich AND have no taste.

i like all of brownie's cars

That Ford Ka a few posts up looks like a 3-man tent.

That would be the Plymouth Prowler, Jimmy

The Prowler

YES OH MY GOD

how can you not be laughed at in that thing?

This Opel concept looks like some kind of space weapon:

I'll see your '94 Ghibli and raise you a mid-80s Biturbo:

Haha, yeah, that's terrible.

it's true, your honor, this man has no dick

batmobile + monopoly car = prowler

And speaking of space weapons, I always thought the 928 was probably based on the Millenium Falcon:

omg that Prowler is even uglier than I remembered.

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.

the 928 doesn't belong anywhere near this thread

my parents were all about tauruses and crown victorias.

The 928 is residue of great Porsche design.

I loved that Porsche as a kid. Never liked the 911.

not sure what i think about this

Panhard made some strange cars. Here's the P 17

Okay but the 928 is kind of great. I don't know about the other angles but I'm enjoying the side view.

I think that's what would have happened if the Germans won the war xp

the 928 doesn't belong anywhere near this thread

Agreed. Same with the 944.

It's the 914 I don't like...

http://www.pelicanparts.com/literature/914/914_literature_3.jpg

@brownie: that's an Aston Martin?!!!1!!

See? I think the 914 is pretty awes.

I think I've only ever seen one of these on the street in the US, and am only familiar with it from browsing the model kit aisles in K-Mart as a kid:

I love late-70s/early-80s Lotuses, but the Lotus Eclat misses by a lot

http://www.carloten.com/images/lotus-eclat-2.jpg

The Opel GT is not by any means an ugly car, but doing this to one should be a criminal act punishable by 20 years or more in prison...

See? I think the 914 is pretty awes.

Yeah, it's definitely a love/hate model.

I'm not sure how I feel about the new Porsche Panamera. Admittedly, I strongly believe that Porsche should NOT be making a four-door anything.

http://www.motorauthority.com/content/thumbs/2/0/2010_porsche_panamera_turbo_003_2-1124-950x673.jpg

Yeah, I am NOT on board with that.

@brownie: that's an Aston Martin?!!!1!!

some sort of concept car by them. concept cars contain a wealth of ugliness

This one's more about the factory hubcaps than anything.

Just about every Caddy made after 1965 is ugly.

Ha, my grandma had that car.

The early '80s Olds Toronado

http://encyclopedia.classicoldsmobile.com/toronado/83.jpg

At first glance I thought I was looking at a real build of this:

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/simpsons/images/0/05/TheHomer.png/revision/latest?cb=20090908145331

SUV crossovers are getting so small im pretty sure they will be station wagons by 2019.

theyre basically just tall station wagons already, theyre built on car platforms where a ~true~ suv is a truck
