Cars you once liked but don't now

What are some car models that you used to want or considered buying because you liked the design and styling, or because you thought it was capable of doing something, but now think look ridiculous?

For me two cars come to mind: The Hummer H2/H3 and the Smart car. Back when I was into the SUV look, I thought the H2 looked cool, especially in yellow . Now when I see one I think it looks ridiculous and toyish. Enviro-political views aside, they just don't look cool now. Back then it was one of those cars that I'd buy if I had money.

The Smart car I actually considered buying because I liked its somewhat quirky and novel design and the fact that I thought it had good mpg rating. Some further research showed that for its size and space sacrifices, the mpg rating is pretty bad. Plus, it's overpriced. Had used ones been cheaper I might just have bought one. Glad I didn't. They look stupid to me now Talk about looking like a toy.
