the Nissan Sunny was ugly, but there was one I liked. Years ago I read about some guy in Europe who put a Skyline motor and modified AWD drivetrain (modded to fit) in there. The thing was INSANE. Wonder if it's still around. I couldn't find any reference to it on the net.
My ugly list is long.
Dodge Omni, Gremlin, Pacer, Yugo, current Dodge vans, older Chevy and Ford vans, 1980's Lincolns, all caprice classics (they went from boxes to suppositories over night), the WRX (i love this car, but. . .damn.), Honda Element, the last generation of the Prelude (at least, compared to the 92-96 years it was ugly), the current civic, the new BMW 740 and now the 5 series as well (whoever designed the rear end, I want whatever drug he's on).
The Citroen above is an awesome car. I'd drive that in a second. Sit in one some time - the seats are more comfortable than a plush livingroom couch, and the funky hydraulic suspension is just cool. Feels like you're floating on air.
BTW, that bonneville is the first GM (other than Corvette) that I've seen in a LONG time that I've thought was really good looking. Is that what it's gonna look like now, or are they gonna put a bunch of crappy body cladding on it again and wreck the look?
