He should get some 24" spinners on that bad boy.

Dame Edna in braces?

That is revolting to the extreme

I understand the need for function...the President's car has an unbelievable amount of hidden technology. it is one ugly car! The older style Cadillac made a much nicer looking President-mobile

People that live in glass houses......

Brawn before beauty. With 3" thick glass and steel up to 8" thick in some areas, and overkill here and there. Hey, this is the result, Mr. President.

Come on Jim... Even you must admit there are some humdingers in the US! Grand Prix, grans Am's, Aztecs, those hideous plastic saturns, the cadillacs, etc!

[SpunkyMonkey]

I want to know what it transforms into!

[LuS1fer]

I suspect John Kennedy would have liked it so much that he didn't give a flying sh*t what it looked like. Get real, it's a frickin' security cell, not a car. What shall we discuss next? The styling of the Warburton's bread vans?

Really? You knew JFK that well? I'm astounded. Anyway, this thread is about how crappy it looks... Nothing more, nothing less. This is a car forum you know.

[CY88]

Do you think he'll have the custom fabric badges...



Bush's one looked rubbish too...




Armoured Range Rover... much nicer... http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=47&i=1511...

The clue was "I suspect" rather than "I know" although having been shot through the head, I feel confident in my analysis.

I think it looks OK for an armoured limo which, in general, look awful regardless. It certainly looks no worse than the State Bentley.

Can't imagine any stretched car that actually looks good. Maybach for example.

It can still look nice and less cheap looking regardless of its function. It could if they so desired, even look pretty...
