It took me a moment to figure out why the hearses all look wrong...

In the UK, hearses don't carry the family too. The bereaved usually follow in a LWB something, but the hearse itself doesn't have a rear seating row. I'm guessing the tradition (if that's the right word) on the continent is for the family to ride in the hearse too, hence these strange-looking limo-hearse combos.
UK hearses usually have at least three seats - it's just that the third seat is a small little jumpseat next to the, umm, luggage.

I saw a brand new one yesterday. None of the rear lights worked, apart from the high level brake. Looked about right for the car.

My vote is for the ford ecosport. Every time I see one it stands out as a car that would appeal to those recently hit over the head with a cosh.

The KA +, ok the front is just current Ford made smaller but they definitely ran out of inspiration and ideas by the time they got to the rear.



That looks like it came out in 1998! Shocking

I don't mind the Juke. I was trying to understand its popularity and concluded that it reminds me of a modern VW Beetle - big eyes, indicators on top of the wings, short stumpy shape...

The Beetle was, of course, exceptionally popular but, as a lad, i thought they were and probably are, gopping but they have "something" about them.

Booted hatches have always been gopping, like the Orion and Belmont with "stuck-on" boots. Though the Montego tried hard, it was still very bad at the C pillar.

I've yet to see one in the metal" but we must remind ourselves of horses for courses. No it isn't cutting edge design but it appears inoffensive and thus will sell in this market. I do wonder, however about trendy designs like Citroen Cactus.

That's one of my biggest annoyances about the design of this car, the brake lights are illuminated from the clusters in the bumper. Makes it look like the ones in the door are broken and the bumper lamps are being used as a backup.

Couldn't care less. I like the fat lass, I know she's beautiful on the inside and I bet she's more fun than a miura! Especially if she has a big bore.

Am I the only one that thinks the 2 series gran tourer m sport doesn't actually look that bad? Looks alright, much better than the equivalent citroen picasso or whatever.

The Picasso C4 is a wonderful thing imho.
I started appreciating it when I had a colleague that had her wrapped in matte purple.
And it suited it. Any car that can pull off a colour like that deserves my respect.

As for the BMW, as above it doesn't look that offensive and it's not the ugliest thing bmw makes. Heck, it's not even in my top 3.

It looks exactly the same as most other smallish people carriers to me; certainly not "much better" but not offensive either. As someone pointed out above, it's pretty much indistinguishable from the Kia equilevant.

Being French, I have to say that Citroen managed to have the ugliest vehicles

the BX, overall winner to me.


Visa, same idea


Renault was good also at making ugly cars


This one could be loved

IIRC you can't have brake lights on anything that moves, ie doors or boot.
It might just be the US though? perhaps they are catering for their market, a lot like the ferrari california

Styled by Marcello Gandini, while he was at Bertone, with the basics first seen as the 1979 Volvo Tundra concept.
