Alfa Romeos are generally accepted as being quite good looking.
Not this one. It's supposed to be a concept of an Alfa Romeo Fastback Sedan. Apparently this is what Alfas will look like in 2017. Whilst I can accept that vehicle design cues change over the years, I could never bring myself to spend mone on something as catastrophically ugly as this: I think it looks like someone shat in a wetsuit.

I saw a P76 station wagon a few weeks ago. This had to be seen. I took a triple look.
Ugly & you couldn't fit a 44gallon drum in it ! |

Toyota Rukus
Toyota Corolla sedan Tarago Avensis Commodore Omega Alfa Romeos For a long time, Mercedes Honda Accord looks retarded at the back Daewood Matiz Hyundai Getz A few of the Peugeots For some, I actually believe that the look of the car is irrelevant. All that matters is the badge, and the price they paid so that they can run off to their ****y friends and show off their overpriced car and be the envy of them all for about 3 seconds, until they all go off and get a more expensive car to outdo them. In the end, they have to settle in just being 'better' than the neighbours, who own a crappy Australian-built heap of junk that they only paid $45,000 for and only has a Ford badge...oh, the dishonour!

I was behind what I believe to be an idiotic Chinese woman (and please note - my best mate is Malaysian, and one of my best girlfriends ever was Oriental) in a Mercedes CLS (which I really like!) going at 40 in a 60 zone, and taking about 20 seconds to turn her steering wheel to the right to drive into her street... For me, a car like that is to be enjoyed for what it is. She has the car not because she has any appreciation of the car itself. She was all about the badge and the price. What a waste.

^^ haha so true. The amount of times I see some random Asian lady driving top class Mercedes. But clearly do not belong in one (ie driving position with their head barely making it over the steering wheel only to have a worried look constantly while driving, speed, driving skill, or external damage! etc) and think what the hell.
The wealthy Asians drive Mercedes. All the others drive Camry's. I really don't get it |

But the CLS entered my mind because it has been nominated in this thread.
For a long time I've found Mercedes absolutely repulsive, but I must admit that they are getting better...the CLS looks alright. I'll never have people kiss my backside because of the car I own, and whether it's good looking or not, I really don't care what anybody else thinks...I'll enjoy it for my own reasons.

AH OH! But, I mean, seriously, did the then remastered re-release of Star Wars inspire this GT? |

If childish comments are not enough, now we rip into one of our own classics (offending every owner on the forum in the process).
This one can go to bed. |
