Looking for another car, and it really annoys me. I think the rear of thr Octavia VRS is beautiful, but the front is like a sad old man.

The new mondeo has a lovely arse too, yet the front looks like a depressed rat. frown

I always think the rear of the E39 touring looks at least 10 years older than the front.

I've always thought that. The front end looks much older than the rest of the car, shame. Still a nice motor though!

... some say it's so fast that no one has ever seen it's front end...

What you've said is exactly the opposite of what I said..........

I always thought the rear end of the McLaren F1 looked unresolved.

I've never made up my mind about the estate Lexus IS Sportcross - generally it looks very smart, better looking than the saloon maybe, yet when you look at it at certain angles, towards the rear perhaps, I'm not quite sure..

The back of the F1 has dated quite badly compared with the rest of the car IMO.

I wonder if it's the big orange indicators?

I thought that the Renault Laguna Coupe was very nearly a stunning car. The rear is beautiful, the front is UGLY and unfortunately the proportions all-round were a little off...

I still think its not a bad looking car. In the right colour and looks quite good at particular angles and in certain lights. It's got a little DB9 thing going on (just a hint). Just looked on AT and was suprised how cheap they are. 2 year old cara going for 10-11k

They're either absolute ste or it's just the usual expensive French car drawback. Horrendous swan diving depreciation.

Do have a soft spot for odd ball cars though. C6, 607, DS range, skoda superb, avantime and vel satis, RCZ. All cars that I quite admire.

I agree with you 100%. I've got the same soft spot, the Avantime especially, C6, DS, etc, etc. All fantastically bonkers and depreciate like a stone, but it doesn't stop me from loving them.

The Laguna Coupe is a nice car, it's just a shame that the didn't get it quite right... frown

I'm just checking the classifieds now!! confused

It could be, it just doesn't sit well with the rest of the car. It still looks ok though.
