Which "marmite" styled cars do you love/hate?

[swisstoni]

I agree with the current Beetle. I used to hate them but somehow the penny dropped one day and I suddenly 'got' them.
They do a sort of retro 70s themed one which sounds rotten but looks quite good.

I used to kid myself that my old Vel Satis was so stylish only true car design connoisseurs could see it

Love the Alfa Romeo SZ and RZ, not universally popular.

Oh yes, most definately, I absolutely love those.

My indy uses a Vel Satis as his hack, swears by it and adores it in equal measure

Good pick. These are awesome. And the C6 too.

I Love it!

You're just trolling now. I don't believe anybody likes those things. Why? What's the point of it..

[LankyLegoHead]

HATE

I honestly really hate these things, I don't know why. I just think they are so damn ugly but everyone will buy one "Cos BMW m8". When they first came out everyone seemed to be of the same opinion, now I get flamed for calling out that gopping face and saggy side lines.

LIKE

It's a 2 door Coupe people carrier. It's so hilarious that it's brilliant. I don't really like the french, but Renault were on fire around this time for releasing stuff that every other manufacture would have as a concept only.



I also really liked the proportions of my MK1 Octavia. Everyone calls it ugly, especially as I had it in Yellow, but I simply loved it.

Love the Citroen C4 Cactus!

These always looked very silly to me:



Wonderful cars I'm sure but a bit cringey on the eye.

Love: Pre-blanded Fiat Multipla.

Hate: Post-blanded Fiat Multipla.

[TR4man]

I just love the individuality of these.

Unfortunately for me, the prices seem to have rocketed recently

I seem to like marmite cars, have just purchased an SRT-6. The Crossfire styling seems to produce very different opinions.
The pictures also shows how cars can change from their prototype, and considering it was Chrysler's replacement for the Prowler it is very different.




Prototype:

That looks bloody lovely. What are they lik to own? I know nothing about them.

[marmitemania]

No one seems to like these. I love mine.

I always preferred the 309 to the 205.

Better to look at, better to drive.

I've always liked the bugeye Impreza. The Classic shape is by far the best looking but a bugeye STi is still a fantastic looking car. Definitely the 'best of the rest' as far as Imprezas go.

Quite right - hateful thing.

Quite right - cracking, in a 'speshal' way.

Nissan Cube great piece of design, but wouldn't have one myself. Multipla is just plain dog ugly though, truly hideous thing.

[Hoofy]

Nissan Juke!

I love my 300c and I mean love it.


Nobody else does

I think they look great. But then as I just mentioned, I love the Nissan Juke.

Has a little Mangusta about it:

I like the 3/4 view of the Signum - we have one as a dog car and in the right spec with dark windows, dual exhausts and roof rails its getting better with age, modern day Simitar GTE? (that might be pushing it a bit though!)
