What car would you hope to be never seen in?
Please don't take this the wrong way.I dont mean any company, brand or manufacturer disrespect.
I realize designing producing and manufacturing a Car is a huge well coordinated process that provides a living to many and utilizes the talents of a lot of hardworking professionals. All I am noting is that some manufacturers have alternative design philosophies than the W123 or W124 series of Benz diesels.... Personally I though the Nissan 350 looks a little goofy, kind of like a blown up Power Rangers Toy car. I know its a powerful and maneuverable and well engineered car, but it sure kills the idea of classic and refined sports car lines that Porsche and Benz did a lot to advance..

Any classic style Citron. God those cars were ugly. Remember the old saying in Europe, "Never own a French anywhere but France".

I agree with the Citreon.....................Of course the 2CV was so ugly it was actually cute.
Add to that most Peugots cold here........The 205 Rally was cool but was never sold here. Same with Renault.....exceptions there were the R5 Turbo, Very, very rare variant of the le Car, and the Alpine that was never sold here.

My neighbor has a Black Dodge Magnum station wagon..
with Blacked out windows and its lines and dimensions are identical to that of a hearse.
I am sure Dodge knew what they were doing, and they got lost of smart marketing genius but to me that car is scary looking and not friendly. Anyway its definitely a car a guy would by, i dont think ladies would like it...

A Dodge Magnum with limo titnt windows would be the ultimate Gothmobile.
I think the Citroen Traction Avant was very cool. So was the Citroen Maserati SM The Citroen Millenium was tres cool as well. Citroen took risks with styling. Renault didn't. The R8 was pretty ugly. (I actually owned an R-10, an R-16 and a Dauphine.) A car I would prefer not to be seen in would be anything missing fenders and a grille, especially an Escort or a Neon. Buddy Bradley's "poliomobile" in Hate! Comics: a pickup with giant tires on the front and tiny wheels on the back, elevated with struts. A Wartburg, any model. A Lloyd Hansa. A Messerschmit minicar

Well the Citroen Traction Avant was about the only cool looking Citroen in my mind. Had a chance to buy one a number of years ago but the situation wasn't conducive to me buying it at the time.
