That is just hideous. I bet some footballers were on the design committee.
As if they're ever going to make one without the windows blacked out. Straight to [url=www.barryboys.co.uk]www.barryboys.co.uk[/url]
from other angles it looks like one of these with a Bentley grille;

Anyone who buys one of those should be sterilised so they can't pollute the world with tasteless offspring
That is F-UGLY! I'm sure it will be popular, but I'm not sure why! 🙄
Being gopping doesn't seem to stop cars selling

Surely that's a fake?
Nope it's real. The redesigned it after "adverse customer feedback" on the first design. That's the improved design. They will build it too since more people buy large SUV (even mega expensive ones) that luxury saloons.
TBH I think it looks quite cool, in a kind of "F*** YOU POOR PEOPLE!!!!" kinda way

We absolutely need products like these in society so that we can spot the oiks at a distance. Always remember, class and wealth are not related.
I saw one of these today for the first time. Utterly monstrously ugly.

These new handicapped accessible taxis in the US are fugly. 😡 They may be very functional, but the manufacturer shouldn't have hired a blind person to do the styling! 😆

Quite like the Paceman. Looks like a squashed up Evoke.
All modern Minis are ugly, but then, I haven't seen a BMW produced in the last twenty years that looks stylish, either.
X6? Puleeeze!

PLEASE STOP POSTING UGLY CAR PICS...

If anyone can find me an American designed vehicle (4 or 2 wheeled) that isn't a hideously gopping monstrosity, then I'd be interested to see it

The bentley concept was at goodwood last year. I think the bentley reps there tried not to listen to what people were saying...

Molgrips - gt40 mk1 - built and DESIGNED in the UK. We rock!
Really? I stand (sit) corrected.

Not so sure about the vet or the pontiac but the Mustangs were and still are, awesome looking cars.
But yes, as above, the PT Cruiser is one of the most ridiculous looking cars I've ever seen.
Anyone seen the hyundai my colleagues put a pre order in on .
Its a 3 door - not conventional but 2 doors on passengers and 1 big door on the drivers side.
I think hes buying it as he is about 25 stone so it will make it easier to get in
The '59 Corvette up there.

Molly - as pointed out, the only contribution an American made to the GT40 was shoving an engine in it. I had a pretty strong suspicion te GT40 would be the first defence. Which just goes to show. Something 😀
I'll concede the early Mustangs, but the rest of them? Pontiacs? Seriously? BLEEEEUUUUUUURGH!

It s the Hyundai Veloster. Not sure if that was the driving factor in the design. Will he have the driver's side suspension upgraded?
Is a three wheeler ok?

Planes don't count! They've got the whole 'huge scale death from above' thing going on, which immediately renders them too cool for any objective assessment of aesthetics
Shall we discuss Harley Davidson? Surely the worlds greatest surviving example of selling stone age, hideously ugly pig-iron to gullible half-wits for laughable sums of money?
Those are the only nice ones I could find binners. That's a corvette, the last one.
"American-made vehicles with two/four wheels" is what the man said...
I've just been looking at the Google image results for "American made cars" and for the life of me I can't find anything that is really that good looking. The AC Cobra was nearly there, but it just looks too muscular to be really attractive and when you compare to something like a Ferrari 250 GT California or a 250 GTO it just looks like something that ran off the road right into the ugly truckstop to get a full tank of ugly and some new ugly tyres.
I mean, tell this is not a thing of beauty:

It's alright but it's not the nicest looking alfa out there.

PS I'm no fan at all of American cars, most are awful mechanically and visually, but I just wanted to show binners that there were SOME pretty ones 🙂
Those mustangs look nice.
Off to buy a lotto ticket!
I do seem to have taken streamlining onboard a bit - here's a design for a classroom device I'm just getting prototyped 🙂

@willard - agree on the 427 but the 289 was pretty:

errm, everyone knows that the AC Cobra was a British design based on the AC Ace and made in Thames Ditton, don't they?

No more antiquated than a Triumph, or many other motorbikes for that matter.
@wasnotwas - if we took into account all the things that were created/conceived of/designed here, then exploited to huge commercial gain elsewhere, the list would be hooooooge!
Please, someone tell me this wasn't thought of overe here....

that's true but I was referring specifically to the AC because it was being touted as a good 'American design' when it really isn't in any shape or form an American design.

Are you seriously suggesting that Harley Davidsons are in the same bracket as a modern Japanese superbike. I know they cost about the same. In fact the Harley will be more expensive. And they both have 2 wheels. But I think the similarity ends there
You can have this agricultural monstrosity for a snip af £16 grand

or this for 4 grand less

Anyone who even has to think about that for more than a millisecond needs their bumps feeling
Well, it could be a styling choice.
I was genuinely shocked to be told by a co-worker RE [i]new[/i] cars "I don't care about anything other than the styling. It can be shit quality as long as it looks cool".
Those sorts are out there!
The Americans are designing some good looking cars at the moment
eg. http://www.cadillac.com/2013-cts-luxury-coupe.html
I drove a SRX last time. It was pretty good looking if you like SUVs
Out there tomorrow to the US - I'll keep my eyes open for good looking cars.
Holy crap that Cadillac is vomitacious.
That looks like its been designed by a teenage boy, in between masturbation sessions, having been up all night on his playstation, then rendered in a primitive 3D package. Its absolutely hideous!
Yeah, I've never liked it, though on Jalopnik they get quite the wide-on for it.
@binners in the same vein you can have this throwback for £26k:

and it's Nissan brethren are designed in London.
Kill me now.
Thing is, its ok to take your styling tips off something from a by-gone era, if that era produced a true design classic.
But Harley Davidsons have always looked like an assortment of left over scafolding poles carelessly welded around an engine sourced from an old industrial pump. And in line with every other American automotive product, handle like a fully laden supertanker
Say what you like about the exterior of that Bentley, but I think the interior is quite something...

I stand corrected, DeLorean himself was 'merken, the car was designed by Guigiaro in italy ( 😯 ), then built in the Emerald Isle.
So there you go.
rogerthecat - throw it back even further, you can get a new one of these:

Stoner, keepin' it [s]real[/s] local
oops I was rong too 😉
That Harley Vs R1 decision has caused quite a bit of discussion in the office, with a pretty even split between people. Personally, I'd go for the R1, but some people think the Harley would be cooler.
What I want to know though is when someone is going to build a bike as awesome as either a Tron Lightcycle, or Akira's motorbike.
A lightcycle you say?
apologies for the fail link.
Or the bikes in Bloodrunners 😆
I think the correct answer is **** the Yamaha and the Harley!! I want this!!! 😀

Which, somewhat unbelievably, you'd still get four grand change from, as opposed to the 2 wheeled American tractor! 😯
Binners you do talk some automotive crap! It's obvious you hate American cars/bikes but to say they all handle like tankers is very ignorant. I could take you out in my friends 2012 vet and take you around corners so fast in the thing you would s*** yourself. Remember most of these cars were designed for totally different roads to ours and its only lately they have been trying to sell competitively in our market and even then not strongly.
Do you mind?! I try not to limit it to just automotive! 😉
