They really did run out of style talent after the Stratos!

1st generation (93-99) was a rebadged Nissan Terrano II

God that's such as steaming turd of a car.

I was driving around in lease cars in the mid 90's waiting for my S14 when I went on holiday. Rather that spunk company money away unnecessarily while I was away I handed the lease Mondeo back for a couple of weeks.

When I got back was given one of these as an "upgrade". fking upgrade my arse. Utterly dreadful piece of agricultural ste.

Indeed - the Lancia Thesis offering more than enough evidence of this.....

i did some googling... "lancia 2002" "lancia 2003" etc and on the image search it seems they really have stuck with that stty design language for like 15 years to date.

Had never heard of the Jensen 541R I saw yesterday, how lovely is that!

Technically art, but Edwin Wurm’s fat cars featured on Jalopnik are certainly different...

What's under there do we reckon? Thought it may be an Alfa 164?

If so he needs a foot to the scrotum.

I think that somewhere under there is a Citroen BX feeling very sorry for itself...

Crikey, Lightning McQueen has put on a few pounds.

Another of Erwin Wurms. I'd love to take this down to Pro-tyre and ask them to sort the alignment

Totally and utterly mundane but saw a Mazda 3 saloon yesterday. Butt ugly looking thing.

Did you see the front end ? Let's just say that its looks are an acquired taste.

Who said adjustable grille flaps were a modern innovation?

I hesitate to post this because when i admitted that i had not heard of the new Polestar brand as a thing separate from Volvo i got a couple of "Get with the program" type responses.

I discovered this new car after a bit of googling. I heard someone talking about Lincoln and Co, and thought they were referring to the Ford owned American marque.

I was wrong. I misheard them Lynk & Co is a Chinese car maker related to Volvo.

Apologies for posting, but this is a car I didnt know existed.

yes, in the old days, premium brands would flog off all their old tooling to Daewoo or Peykan or Polski-Fiat so they could have a go at churning out a slightly lower quality version of the old car - this one was based on the old Merc E-Class in 2005 so it's ancient.

Now Fiat thought hey, why not do that whole thing in reverse.... we'll make this old Chrysler a premium brand Lancia and make our small Fiats into things that look vaguely like Jeeps.

another super mundane one but a 66 plate Vauxhall Viva. tad smaller than an Adam
