The opposite to the thread below, uncool cars from an otherwise cool manufacturer. I'll start with the Alfa Romeo Arna. Italian reliability, Japanese style and flair. Bleugh.

They know that it is awful, but they need it to lower their average emissions.

Thought of another, from (according to Top Gear) the greatest manufacturer in the world, the Lancia Ypsilon thing.

you must be young. It is an invalid carriage for disabled drivers, pre the days of motorbility et al. There were compaints (understandably) that these things did little to improve the 'cred' of disabled people.

Used to be a common(ish) sight.

I'm a foreigner. The treatment of those with disabilities in SA was not something to be proud of and motobility of those with disabilities was not of great concern. Especially when the government were more concerned with separating those of differing skin colour.

And yes, I'm young. biggrin (Haven't been told that in a while, so I'm claiming it.)
