Looks like the Escort Estate to me.



For me though its

An ugly car but the rear lights look great when illuminated



And, slightly biased as it is mine, but the three door Seat Ibiza



Also, i really like the 3rd brake light of the Bentley Continental GT and Flying Spur, stretching across the full width of the rear window

Quite like the Fulvia. Such a pretty car.

Instead of pissing on Lancia's hertige with these useless rebadged US abomitations, FIAT should make Lancia a boutique marque for some exclusive premium motors. Like the stunnig remake of the Fulvia they presented almost 10 years ago. Also came with great rear lights IMO.



BTW, rationale for the ribbed light cluster as per Mercedes was that they improve safety since the brightness suffers less with increasing levels of dirt on them compared to normal "flat" rear lights. But that's coming from the same company that tried to justify the fins on the W110 by describing them (to the more conservative German public) as "marker edges" designed to help rear visibility for parking ;-). But at least they had the decency to try and explain unconvetional styling decisions back then.

Now they dare not, and I imagine it is a bit difficult. How could you tell an Audi owner that the single frame facia thingy on his car is actually a device to aid motorway overtaking by suggesting presence that does not hve to be backed by actual substance.

That is a really nice update, forgotten about that. Not forgotten the original though, one thing about the 70s; small sporty saloons were in abundance. Since the hatchback they are few and far between - only really BMW 1 series coupe today?

Also love the rear lights of old school beemas such as the E30, E28, E34. Like the classic impreza headlights and evos

I don't think so, it looks like the car is squinting

The alloys do look hideous and it is way too low, but I only posted for the rear lights

The whole of the internetz, and that was the best picture of an E38 you could find?!

Always liked these, especially the symmetry between the lights and exhausts,

Surprised this classic didn´t pop up yet :

Infinitely better than the carbuncles of the later ones, despite their more prosaic origins.

That's what I always thought they were, although the Escort estate pic has now cast that into doubt.

That's a facelift and a saloon, they're slightly different:

The barges of the late 90's were a superb time for tail lights:

I particularly like these ones, especially the way the boot lock is neatly concealed in one of the lights:



The E38 was always a looker at this angle...

TVR Tuscan. Not the S, not the Mk2, the LED indicator pods in the window and the rest down around the exhausts
