Here'a one for the UGLY CAR FILE! - LotusTalk

SKYVUE · 06-04-2009, 10:01 AM

I spotted the UGLIEST new car on the freeway today. IMHO it is THE UGLIEST I've EVER SEEN!

It's the CUBE!! Augh!!!

I think it's a Nissan badge, but I had to look away to prevent throwing up in my car!

It was (approprately) PUKE GREEN color.

I love the aesthetically sweeping, aerodynamics on the Elise, but the "CUBE" was the awful. Even the weird asymmetrical rear window placement gave me chills.

Cute? Not really.

The Kia Soul looks the best out of the 3 Asian lunch boxes.

Think I read that the funky wrap-around rear window offers excellent rear visibility.

hmm,. a car with rear visibilty!
definitely not a lotus

ideal for parking in front of an Exige!
-NOT the other way around!

I agree with bane (+1), now that soul is not so bad...

Old "boxy" xB's are selling for as much as they were new, or more. It's often cheaper to buy a new one.

I like the Nissan Cube, they need all the help they can get to overcome the ugly sh*t they have been putting out recently (Versa, Sentra, last gen Maxima, QX45/Armada, GT-R

).

kestrel74 · 06-04-2009, 04:14 PM

no..........HERE'S an ugly car.

RelativePants · 06-04-2009, 05:49 PM

I saw these in Japan, and thought they were cute.

I say the Aztec is still the (ugly) king, though it's not produced any more.

I agree, I think its funny that only one side of the window wraps around.

Makes complete sense since they drive on the other side of the road. They can shoulder check over their left shoulder and see through the window (no blind spot). They don't need this while looking over their right shoulder since they are closer to the window.

I wonder if left hand drives will be different.
