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.In the UK, hearses don't carry the family too.

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.
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.

See I just assumed that was a 2 Series AT in a different colour... Don't know which came first.
but as a BMW fan, also

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.
I was behind one of those lancia yerlipson things earlier, my god thats a dogs dinner, Id post a photo up but Ive used up my forum abuse quota.
Such a sad, sad thing what they are doing to lancia, and who wrote the website waffling on about beauty thing, the same guy made phoney blair a peace envoy?

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. Dyl said:

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.It might just be the US though? perhaps they are catering for their market, a lot like the ferrari california

Being French, I have to say that Citroen managed to have the ugliest vehicles
the BX, overall winner to me.
Styled by Marcello Gandini, while he was at Bertone, with the basics first seen as the 1979 Volvo Tundra concept.the BX, overall winner to me.

If you're going to pick on the poor Wheezer, at least go for the pignose...Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
