Default Re: Who makes the ugliest automobile

Oh heck yeah, Claude !
It seemed to go hand in hand with the MASS INTRUSION of front wheel drive junk from all the manufacturers. A fundamental design requirement in an automobile, in respect to proportions, can be seen in the postion of the road wheels ( OK, a little European there ).
Basically, the distance from the front lower edge of the front wheel well, to the edge of the front bumper, can not be greater than the distance from the lower rear of the front wheel well, to the front lower edge of the door. If it is longer, the car has the appearance of tipping over itself ( besides p*** poor weight distribution ).

I recently read an article by some long time, big shot car critic, who cited what he has observed. Basically, he said that people like cars to look like us .... !
I thought it was kind of silly.
HHHMMM...
maybe not ?
You start messing around with headlight postions ( or number of them ), grille postion ( or lack there of ), countour of the roof, etc..... and you're going to offend people.
The assteck / avalanche... a case in point. chunks of junk all over them.
People don't look like that !

I've been meaning to write an article myself, on this subject.
New vehicles... seemingly GM in particular... WHAT THE HELL is with the "colours" ? ... or should I say complete absence of them ?
I mean really... you can have grey, charcoal grey, light blue grey, light green grey, dark brown grey, dusty grey, goldish grey.....
FFFFFFFFFF#%@ING GREY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whoa

take a pill here
! !

yup
If it's not a Super Bird / Daytona .... it don't need no big ***** snout on it !
