Range rover but worse.

The Evoque is a good design (even if I don’t like them).

This. There are some specialist, custom vehicles in this thread that are arguably more distasteful, but for a production car the Range Rover Evoque Coupe is a hatefully tasteless contraption.

You really need to crosspost that to the "council" thread.

However according to some posters on here - it's just "envy" rolleyes
It's definitely something that should be brought up in his next meeting with his counsellor.

pretty much spot on, tricky indeed. The Rolls Royce is an interesting one. A look at old rollers compared to new and my opinion changes. A modern Rolls saloon compared to say a Maybach? I think most (not all) people, even non PHers, will look a Phantom or a Ghost and be intruiged, interested or even delighted. The Cullinan on the other hand is likely to evoke a different response, possibly of disgust. Is it a big SUV thing I wonder.
The Cullinan is not considered to be an SUV, despite what the unwashed might try to insist. Rolls Royce say it is an All Terrain High Bodied Car.

Overfinch used to quite understated. A badge or two and a well engineered yank V8 swap.

I'll just place this here, quietly......

I'm not tough & macho enough to drive a car like that. I don't own a pit bull or have tattoos, for example.
I like it.

Looks very feminine as in "go getting girl about town" Nissan Juke or Mini alternative.
Toyota have also given the fatass to the Yaris. I can understand the Yaris FR being so bulbous, but they've kept the body for the whole range.
That car design is giving me a headache.

Why do I see this and think of Home Bargains?
Not ugly. Very tasteless.
With that paintjob it is both tasteless and ugly.

Just as chromed supercars and some wraps are.
I don’t much like it, but it’s just a modern take on the Maranello Concessionaires racing livery.
Saw a video review with one which also had blue wheels. Horrible.
Hi there

One of the 296 GTB's at Goodwood was sporting the blue wheels.

Followed a G-wagon recently and it got me thinking this might be one of the most tasteless cars on sale.

Anyone have any views on this, or candidates for the title.
Almost all of them! Cars have got so expensive so quickly the whole thing is a big excess so it’s almost all tasteless.

Really anything more than what’s needed is tasteless its just all a big extravagance.

I think you took a wrong turn comrade - this is pistonheads, not trabantfans.

Yep, daring and certainly influential but never beautiful or perfectly resolved pieces of design. There's far more consisting approval of, say, the E39 and F10.

Holds head in shame, but i really like the 3dr evoque. Only evoque i do like.

Mainly as it looks like a junior Bowler.

Would love a cheap ratty petrol one to turbo to 400bhp and turn into a baby-baha weapon
