Yes the AU S1 front end is not a pretty site but I don't think the XE front end isn't too far behind. The whole range from laser/Meteor through to falcon look crap with that fugly flat nose bonnet in my opinion, especially the Telstar. :

Annoying that it is a Ford but one to beat the AU series for Ford. The Scorpio from the UK

Other than that really not liking the new HSV range.

Ssangyong
Smart cars
VE onward HSVs
1960 Chevrolet Apache
Volvo
Great Wall
Aust. delivered Ford Taurus


More when I think of some to add.

If it hasnt been done already, should start an opposing thread of what we think are the most beautiful cars. Hopefully there will be a lot of cars that arent "exotic".

Why all the camry bashing? I just bought a sportivo and it isn't that bad to look at else I would have gone the 05 XR6. If the sportivo was as ugly as sin, even though it is cheaper to run and insure I would not have got it. Each to their own.
You think a camry looks better then a VE E1 or E2 maloo lol???

The sudden uglifying happened as GM sold its shares to Toyota, maybe Subaru is using Toyota's design department.

Let's just hope that the FT-86 looks good.
