 Re: Atrocity exhibition
I actually genuinely laughed out loud when I saw those photos. The word "Fugly" was created specifically for that vehicle.

 Re: Atrocity exhibition

Surely nothing can be worse  As far as A-series are concerned, I think you're right ..... but modern car designers are raising the bar to a whole new level. Remember, these aren't one-offs that some amateur got hideously wrong, like most of the A-series in this thread. These are designs that were actually approved by major car manufacturers and put into production!:   BMW obviously couldn't decide which grille-design was worse, so to make sure they offended as many people as possible, they decided to produce both versions of their massive new 'mini':   There are loads more, but my eyes are starting to bleed, so I've put my welding goggles on for this last one and I've reduced the size of the picture in an attempt to protect you from it's full horror. It hasn't worked.

Surely nothing can be worse  you underrate the ability of the great British bodger with their propensity to take a perfectly functional well engineered car and apply some rather shaky woodworking skills to it - usually loosing a wheel in the process (that Argy thing you can see what they were doing and had a grasp of aerodynamics)

It hasn't worked.  It could, actually, get worse than that. The place that did the MOT on our VW was a Nissan dealer. They had a couple of Jukes parked out front in vinyl-wrap. One was chrome. One was full Union Flag. One was vivid electric pink.
