My next road Urchin MUST HAVE those square rear flares and--- god what a stunning whing thingee!!!

'Ugly' is the new 'pretty', or 'Better ugly than boring' must be the mantra at today's automotive styling schools. Hideousness for the masses is more like it.
And people used to gripe about Mercedes Fintails. I think tailfins would only improve the looks of many of these new cars.
I now regard my 240D as a pinnacle of modern automotive design!
Can't think of any 'popular' new car that I really like the look of.

Most absurd recent car styles I've seen are the Nissan 'Juke' (Joke?) and the similarly ridiculous-looking little 2-door Hyundai sports-thing called a 'Veloster'. And the 'Smart' car? 'Clown' car is more like it!
I'd rather see an old K-car!
So tired of the current rage for cramped, organic-blob styling, with lizard-grin or fish-faces, and squashed roof-lines, massive pillars and tiny, weird windows that now require video cameras to see out of. UGLY, UGLY, UGLY!

Happy Motoring, Mark
