Not ugly. Very tasteless.
Just as chromed supercars and some wraps are.

The definitive answer here is the Lamborghini Urus.
The looks, the colours, the customers. All lacking taste. It has Motorhub Keighley written all over it and Kahn developed a body kit before it was even released. It is the most meta car for footballer living in Cheshire the Range Rover Sport would blush.
Remember, and this is true; this is the car that Lamborghini benchmarked against the appeal of the BMW X6 M as what they wanted their customers to aspire from, which says it all really.
It’s easy to pick some others, the Cayenne, the Range Rover, but this takes the tasteless biscuit.

haha yeah, the biggest expedition that will go on is to Bicester outlet village or top level of a UAE multistorey car park. There is a bloke not to far from here who has a similar 4 wheeled version. Its a very unusual thing to see parked up (post McDonald's drive through) and see a small chap with his very tall blonde wife hop out and take their daughter to the park. Think he still also has an orange Urus. Chatted to him in the past about the Urus as that thing really stands out.

This. There are some specialist, custom vehicles in this thread that are arguably more distasteful, but for a production car the Range Rover Evoque Coupe is a hatefully tasteless contraption.
Range Rovers used to be the Gentleman's Shooting Brake on stilts. A car designed for carving up Africa or discovering the far corners of your hunting estate in the Highlands.
The Evoque looks purposefully designed to be dumped in PureGym car parks, the McDonald's Drive Thru, halfway on the pavement in horrendous new build estates or in disabled spaces in bland out-of-town retail parks (with no blue badge on display, obvs).
It is a car for making a last minute dive for the exit ramp, crossing over the chevrons and failing to indicate in doing so. So as not to be late for that nail/hair/tan appointment. You are safe do to all your under-confident, aggressive and bad driving in this vehicle.
It is a car for nail "technicians" who still live with their parents so as to afford the monthly payments on their PCP contracts, but who will confidently refer to "Ma Rangey" or, even worse, "Ma Jeep" when discussing said vehicle.
It is a car for people who built a bar in their garden during lockdown (garden being a small, high-fenced paddock of plastic grass, plastic rattan-effect furniture and plastic plants out the back of a generic red Deanobox-type new buildhouse). Neighbours don't like being kept awake by raucous singing? Too bad, 'I got mine'.
It is a car for people who go to the gym and spend half an hour sitting on the seated dip machine watching Tik Tok videos on their phone, with the volume turned right up.
It is "Live Laugh Prosecco" on wheels. A full sleeve of meaningless tattoos.
Its a car for people who name their kids "traditional" names that just happen to sound like Peaky Blinders characters (yer Alfies, Archies, Freddies, et al). They dress their kids like Peaky Blinders characters for their enormous gatherings at their local branch of Miller and Carter.
Its a car for "taking the missus to The Ivy fur her burfday".
It is a car for people who borrow, lease or rent everything in their entire lives and are never happy as aresult. It is a car that symbolises a deeply selfish "mine now, me first" culture.

Taste is subjective.

Happily I don't fit any of the imaginary stereotypes suggested, although some are uncannily accurate for some owners. But then, you can do that with any car for comedic value, can't you? I think the three door Evoque is a striking design, it looks sharp.
it definitely stood out when it was first released, I remember some of the mags saying it was TT rival as well as I rival to the small German crossovers. Knowing a few Evogue owner's it is remarkably accurate though 
My daughter and me often play guess the owner on long car journeys, she's really good at it.nickfrog said:

This is a thread about taste, or lack of. You and the other poster brought money into it.
Picking one car out of many over £150k doesn’t make me envious, does it?

Think it goes with the territory (although the copy of In Good Shape on “long-term loan” from the school library is probably why I’ve read quite a bit of his stuff).NapierDeltic said:

There is a big difference between base vulgarity and aspirational attempts at bettering yourself.
If you haven’t been exposed to things as a child you learn by mistakes.
Plenty of ‘council’ choices are made until you refine what is actually good.
It’s a bit like ‘never criticise anyone for pronouncing a big word wrong, as likely as not they read it rather than heard it’.
I know people who were epic chavs in their 20’s who have come out the other side with good taste.
The Evoque is fundamentally a tasteless thing, as frankly are most ‘sub-prime’ luxury items.
It’s the Michael Kors of cars, ok in your 20’s as a stepping stone to real luxury. Sad if it’s where you end up. Like costume jewellery, or lookalikey watches.
But if it inspires someone to work hard & better themselves to one day buy a ‘real’ Range Rover then great.
The Lamborghini Urus & Audi RSQ7 are vulgar final destination cars and therefore tasteless.
See also road going Porsches with huge wings & Jaguar F-Types that pop and bang like retail-park-after-dark-hot-hatches.
