Ugly beautiful cars

Two grey ones live directly across the road from me (owner is a rugby league player so I think they're company cars) and I absolutely love them.The only thing I don't like is the body coloured panel for the C-pillar. If that was grey plastic like the surrounding area it would look so much better, just looks like a big petrol filler cap that was put there as an afterthought.

Ah fair enough, I was going off the journalist quote - second half false information
The 2.0 'Cloverleaf' was a good 30bhp up from the biggest boxer engine (1.7), and it made it a hell of a better car to drive. I had one and it went like a stabbed rat.
My old Cloverleaf. LOVED that little car. Full MOMO leather too. Not bad for £200The 2.0 'Cloverleaf' was a good 30bhp up from the biggest boxer engine (1.7), and it made it a hell of a better car to drive. I had one and it went like a stabbed rat.

Ugly? Ugly?? I know, 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' and all that, but the Puma is quite a good-looking car to me, especially next to all the bland cr4p that was around at the same time - and the trying-too-hard stuff like the slasher victim that was the Fiat Coupé. Or maybe it's just me... Agent XXX said:

I had a phase 1, also in biodegradable 'Once was Rosso' Red, and the special 'Quadrifoglio Verde' cloverleaf badges that change from green when new, to blue when about 5 mins old.Alfas have made me obsessed with teledial alloys
Massive amount of bias here, naturally, but I've always been a fan of the original 1-Series, especially the Coupe (so I bought one). Not pretty, but definitely something about it - I always get positive comments about it, and probably prefer it to the more conventional, yet more boring looking 2 Series that replaced it.
Looks better in Silver though, with the M-Sport kit

Anyway to me it's in the same category as the Alfa SZ - not conventionally attractive in the slightest, but definitely imposing, and unlike anything else on the road.
I would have posted the 1M but thought that was cheating

Wow. You've made a post not terribly flattering about BMW. I'm shocked, no really.

Imposing? Are you serious? Unlike anything on the road for a reason, it's ffin stupid.Anyway to me it's in the same category as the Alfa SZ - not conventionally attractive in the slightest, but definitely imposing, and unlike anything else on the road.
