The redesigned BMW 3 series seems pretty horrible.

They where a tough car and a good daily driver.

You guys are still crawling on the permafrost.

Lust and envy when I see something that beautiful.

Thank you.

You can sit at a stoplight next to these things. They use them as tour buses... I think I kind of like em... or I wish I had one for the weekends or... the apocalypse. (makes a hummer look like a joke)

That doesn't seem too efficient or safe, a lil 6 cylinder hauling a 14,000 pound vehicle...what if you had to get away real quick?

You don't want a measly Trabant,you want a Tatra. Nice DOHC hemi V8,more leather inside than a pair of Silver Shadows plus performance to match.http://www.tatraworld.nl/ Go to the photo gallery and click on the T-700 models.

On the topic (off the topic more like) of beautiful cars, what about the Mercedes 500K's and 540K's they made in the 1930's I think it was... if I were a celebrity/rapper/whatever you'd see me riding in one of these:

What do you bet I'd start a fad?

Guys.... the thread reads "UGLIEST CARS". some of the cars being posted are not ugly... but beautiful classics. Stick to the topic.

Always thought Dodge Chargers were ugly, though I guess they were supposed to be that way. Here's an especially ugly angle:

When I first saw the picture of that lime-green Trabant limo, my eyes couldn't focus on it, they still can't. I call it 'jugly' (jarring + ugly).

Every old Citreon is ugly..........same with Renault....with the exception of the Alpine. The only swan in a family of toads.
