List your favorite cars that aren't 'pretty' or 'good looking'

[Shawnw]

I hate to admit this, and I know I'm in a tiny minority here, but I quite like the current Sebring. Sure, it drives like a pile of mush and various bits break a bit too easily, but the proportions, the seats and some of the other design elements through the interior are pretty good.

When you say current, do you mean brand new? Because the new Sebrings have the most uncomfortable non-racing seats known to man. Every time I drive one it feels as if my spine is trying to bust through my stomach.

Morgan Aero 8. More specifically - the mk1. When they re-did the headlights, I think they improved it one hell of a lot looks-wise.

And the old Audi A6: More specifically the one my dad had for a few years before he lost his job (company car). I do believe this pretty much the best car I've ever been in. When we first got it, I thought it wasn't as good looking as the A4, and I still think that, but I see it in so much better light than before. That car was a gem.

Polygon: You forgot one!

Dodge Spirit R/T

Designed by a man whose only tool was a ruler, 0-60 in 5.8 seconds and I would quite like to have one.

Crap, I knew I'd forget one. Now that I think about it, a lot of people might not consider the LeBaron good looking either, even though I think it's a great looking car. Namely the J-body:

Of course, there are always improvements to be made.

Then there's the RX-7 FB and FC:

Also, I like the G20 and the 240SX S13 & S14:

S13 Silvias are an excellent example of a dull as dishwater looking boxy coupe that is legendary for its driving fun and now drifting reputation.

^ I take it that AMC is 4WD? It's powerfully ugly, but probably more than capable.

That car later became the Jeep Cherokee.

 

[maxtortheone]

Always brings me a smile when I spot one. Too bad that with our local CFC history, they're probably all gone . I'd like to own one in the future, just don't know why

 

[Grand Illusion]

Ford Maverick. I like it so much for some odd reason, I bought one. This is mine VVVV

 

[Hbriz]

I really like the AU Ford Falcon, in particular the Mark 1 base model. Everyone said they were ugly, and they only sold to taxi drivers, but I think they look good. Ford were bold enough to try something different, unlike that dreary VT Holden Commodore. They failed, but thats not the point. Makes them rare.

^ Are you kidding? Sure the VT is a bit bland but that is just horrid.

Isn't that a Sileighty? (a 280sx with a Silvia frontend)
I'm told is quite hard to find even in Japan.

This Dacia is exactly the same as a Renault 8 (one of the first Renault to be sold here in Spain). But the definitive version of this car is the Gordini. A really cool car:

One of my classmates in design is a fan of these Ford. He did that:

[nsx_23]

I'd quiet like to get my hands on one.

 

[West]

That one looks much better obviously, mostly due to the vastly improved grille. The other one looks like it's grown a bad teenage moustache.

Saab 900

I'd love to buy one, but my girlfriend hates them with passion

its very very good looking so i think it dosint belong in this thread

They're not as uncommon as one would think, I dont even live in Japan and I found one down the street recently

And yes i know that was a Sil-80 because of the hatchback but I didn't want to be pedantic.

 

[snoro]

well thats cause many body kit company make s13 front end for 180sx, so they are now becoming alot common

 

[nsx_23]

I actually think the Sileighty looks pretty cool.

 

[public]

Yeah, there are a lot of S13 200SX:s/180Sx:s going around with glassfibre Silvia front ends.

I agree, it's an excellent looking car. It's SUCH a shame they are FWD. If Saab had made 1 exception, and made the 900 rwd, those would be highly sought after classics..
