ugly cars

Ugly is OK with me if it works! When I flop down the seats in my 2008 MiniVan & Load up with whatever I do wish the interior was a bit tougher! I will probably end up replacing the seats, my Lab is pretty tough on them in spite of the carpet mats I have on them.

I keep a list of the dings to be included in the next body shop visit. I find it very annoying that even my New Holland Tractor has "styled headlights" with replacement costs of about $240 each.

Maybe I work my vehicals too hard to worry about styling any more.

It doesn't.

2008? That's new. Wait ten years and see how much rust is left.

Body shop visit? Chrysler requires PM on the body now?

If you work your minivan "hard" it won't last five years. They re certainly not trucks, though they pretend to be BTDT-T.

It seems like there were several people picking cars that they hated for some reason, but no overall consistency. There were several where i seriously question the judgment of the choice, Ford taurus/Mercury sable was(/is?) a useful line and not a market flop. Some of the strange cars are really ugly though.

Was. The name was resurrected, but it is a far different car.

There are some really ugly one around. The Element and the Cube are the more common ones that make my mind boggle.

As an "answer" to the ugly box "car"s, i propose the following useless contraption: A conveyance shaped like a sphere (nice smooth contours, elegantly rounded corners, etc) and tires shaped like cubes!

IMO,that BUSINESS mag should stick to business issues and leave the car styling opinions to car magazines.

How could they omit the Citroen 2CV?

A "tear drop" would have lower wind resistance.

Triangles would remove one bump per revolution.

They couldn't stop vomiting, long enough to include it?
