I do a lot of miles in my job but yesterday after a long day stuck for miles behind a Lexus SC430 it got me thinking how ugly some cars are from the rear. It's as if they completely lost interest by the time they get to the back!
Obviously the Lexus is a good or should I say bad place to start, but what do you think?

I was behind one of these the other day and was thinking to myself what an ugly rump it was....I hate the way the lights don't cross over onto the boot lid so it just looks like it doesn't 'fit' and sits on top of the rear wing.

I really don't like them either, to be honest, they have decent presence from the front but I can't string the back together. Only in black does it start to get tolerable.



This for me. A quite discreet and conservative car, but those rear lights? Just looks wrong.

Probably going to upset some people, but:



and every other recent 911 which doesn't carry a big wing. Horrible, bulky shape.

There's something up with your rear lights Sam. Looks like your blue strobes and POLICE sign have both stopped working!

Aye, but you've compressed that one horizontally, haven't you? It's somewhat wider than that..

I always thought that was quite a good back end. Okay, the light clusters are a little bulky but I love the way it follows that crease down the side of the car. A very tidy piece of design. The Lexus SC430 looks bad at every angle though.
