inspired by the recent thread about ugly cars;

what are your favourite 'unconventional' looking cars?

I'm an unashamed Multipla fan


the Alfa SZ, is a fantastic ugly beauty


the gawky, long overhangs, bulky bumpers, like a pair of National Health specs on wheels, Saab 900


give us your borderline boilers, as Viz would have it

I have a weird fascination for the AM Lagonda. I know there are no sane reasons for it... i just really like the awkward paving slab-esque styling...

I also think the interior is amazing...

Sorry

My own car.

From some front angles looks a bit gormless fish faced but otherwise a nice looker.

I'm sticking with the SAAB theme. I had one of these XUG 90X. Loved it to bits. 70-100 in top gear? Wow. Porsche eater at the time. Had to wrestle it around corners when on boost. The seats were nuts and it had a beautifully crafted boost gauge on a universal ball jointed aluminium shaft sticking up from the dash on the right. Blew two gearboxes in 30k miles. Replaced with a 1986 900S. Not so good.

They are like the brassy girl in the pub that you shouldn't be looking at but you know you must. I love them!

laugh so wrong but so right.... I think it is an ugly shape, reminds me of Clarkson's quote about the shape of the Chrysler Crossfire, but somehow the flared arches and added muscularity just work!

Yup, something a bit Blade Runner-esque about them imho.
