Weird, Bad and Ugly Cars

Pardon me replying to such old posts, but…[quote=“thecarlover, post:236, topic:494”]
Also the terrible 1981-1987 Dodge Charger… a subcompact with an I4. I only consider it terrible because it’s got the Charger name on it.

WOULD DRIVE SO MUCH - to troll all Charger fans :smile:

AFAIK no company wants to admit that they have made the diesel for it :smiley:

And for the first time, I used all my likes… All on this thread :smiley:

Get the Shelby, it had the suspension package.

In 10 years, maybe, when I might be able to do this… :smiley:

so everyone ignored the Tropfenbwagen?

Well here’s the 2018 Toyota C-HR, hitting the market soon.

Whatever you might think of it, at least it’s not boring.

There is a guy in Quebec who got into the 8s with his 87 Charger, and was the fastest FWD in Canada for some time.

Although it is pretty damn far from stock, it is still using the 2.2L Engine.

And I thought the FWD drag car in BeamNG Drive was ridiculous… any cornering or reversing leads to rollovers :joy:

Mr. Regular appears to be right about Toyota diverting attention from their compacts to their crossovers. The consumer is so often fickle and ill-advised.

The Tropfenwagen! Guys, what do you think of the Tropfenwagen? The car has a drag coefficient of .28! How does this car APPEAL?

Different, maybe weird, but I wouldn’t say bad or ugly.

because it’s a curiosity, not something of wider scope.

stop trying to make it happen, it’s not going to happen.

Its an Abomination to car design. This GIF describes my thought to it.

unorthodox, yes. but for 1921 it was INCREDIBLY advanced. W6 engine, 36hp, 70mph, and a CD that puts cars today to shame.

But at what cost. No one bought them for a Very Big Reason!

War reparations and want for the traditional.

had it been launched 10 years down the line, it may have been a better story.

also, the car was a critical design influence for the early generation of streamliners like the T77 and Mercedes 130, which, in turn, influenced multiple others.

Indeed. I’ve had a look round one and at first glance it appears to be far better than the Nissan Juke, which somehow sells in massive numbers. It seems to have stolen the Micra’s market over here, and they’re ugly as sin.

Toyota seem to be aiming it as a Juke upgrade almost, won’t see much of that happening near me though as I’m a few miles from the Nissan factory, so there are lots of cheap Jukes and Leafs roaming around here.

I wouldn’t say that about them classic Jaguars like the one shown here, which are being appreciated by collectors worldwide due to their -should i say- radical design aesthetics and overall beauty. As for the Lamborghini Countach -specially the 5000S Quatrovalvole, which is my favorite- , it represented the quintesential dream car of the '80s thanks to its overall performance and squared-off looks, not mentioning that rear wing though…

I’m going to get a lot of hate for this one. i hate how the front of the Bugatti Veron looks.


And the Chiron ins’t much better.

Completely agree, The new Bugatti’s definitely aren’t the best looking cars around. (ome of the old ones on the other hand are quite beautiful)

The Veyron looks really good in my opinion. I’ll have the Grand Sport in white on white please
