I went to look at. Tourneo Connect Grand today. The demo car was [s]poo metallic brown[/s] copper.
What a brilliant car.
But by heck it is ugly.
Would you?
(And what's the petrol 1.5 ecoboost like for mpg and service cost?)
Edit: evidence

Many cars on the road are ugly....imo.
Anything by dacia , anything by skoda , anything by vauxhall , anything by chevrolet and any people carrier
How ever this can be offset by its practicality, there for that tourneo is far superior to a fabia or a disastra.
I love my ugly cars , hiding under the tailgate getting change , slot full bikes in the boot and drive off. Throw lots of shit in take it to the tip , throw seats up and take 4 mates somewhere....
My Fiesta is that colour, Copper Pulse 🙂
Looks fine to me, so yes obviously.
We test drove a Skoda Roomster Scout...during the test drive we stopped, got out, looked at the car and thought we just couldn't do it. 😳
Didn't help the salesman (Skoda dealer) describing them as 'popemobiles' adding 'they're not popular sellers' 🙄

?p=121121_03:01[/img]I don't consider either of those to be ugly cars, neither is the Tourneo, which is just a plain utilitarian vehicle.
I don't think this is ugly, either:

[/img]I don't think this Vauxhall people-carrier is particular ugly:

OP, you called that ugly? That looks very nice.
😯
I owned a Multipla.
And sold it to someone on here.
I'd describe that as "functionally designed" or "purposeful".
Half of STW would own an uglipla if it didn't have a face that would curdle milk.
Not all Butts are ugly 😉
That Tourneo is fine, even the colour.
A Roomster, Multipla, SsangYong Musso or Rodius though, noooooooo!

I bought a couple, in my opinion. Fiat Coupe, Impreza WRX wagon. You can't see the outside (much) when you're sitting in it.
Already did 🙂

That thing is hideous! My eyes! My eyes! 😆

What are you blithering on about you fool, the Fiat Coupe isn't ugly! 😉

Who gives a shit about what cars look like ? really ,get a life they are just for getting you from A to B or are there loads of vain folk with personal plates on here ?
^^ Yes, yes there are. 🙄

Oh, please give over with your self righteousness.
Clothes are just for covering your body
Houses are just a roof over your head
Etc...
Shock horror, nice looking things give people pleasure in whichever way they see fit.
My Roomster's prettier than me...great car:)
Jeezuus mudshark, do you crack mirrors? 😉
They are all ugly imo count.
The people carry the least ugly !
Are you drunk TR?
Nope the windscreen on that vx is horrible , yellow is not a colour for a car and they stopped designing that skoda at the screen scutttle , the front end is horrible.
At least the people carrier isnt trying to be "fast"
We've got a Doblo, the most butt ugly car ever! It's so ugly I takes me want to weep when I look at it, even Jesus says it's gopping! Elvis left the building when he looked at it...
But.. It'll carry two sea kayaks on the roof, two bikes, kayaking kit, bike kit, four dogs, two big tents, all the camping kit, a camping fridge/freezer, cooker and gas bottle, pots and pans and us and our shit, and do 45mpg all day?
I'd buy another tomorrow..
We've got a Doblo too.
I actually think it looks great, but I realise I'm pretty much alone in that opinion.
One of these, the , er, good looking version.

Edit - Great minds Khani, great minds........
So, yes, ugly cars are great.
But not poo brown ones.
Ever.
In the eye of the beholder and all that.
I like the Roomster, has some charm.
The Rodius is just offensive, just wrong.
Torneo? Utilitarian. A bit too much going on but basic shape ok and the lines flow. Very interested in how it drives (what sort of suspension does it have?) Could be a viable alternative to the Caddy Maxi next time round.
Practical vehicles rock
45mpg all day
People say things like this.. but are there any cars that will get a certain economy figure in the morning, but not in the afternoon?
I really like that brown/copper colour. Would love me one of these in it

My Panda does less in the morning and more in the evening
but that's probably cos I don't want to be late for work...
OP that car is OK but in black, white or something, anything other than brown.
I didn't think Vauxhall had an 'ugly' car in their current/outgoing range? Even the facelifted Agila wasn't too bad.
New Ford Transit though, I think thats going to take a while to grow on me. Its got a huge shapeless front with a gopping big grill and wierd squiffy headlights.

I like the Honda Ionized brown, we were shopping for a red one but saw a brown one, I liked, wife wouldn't even consider it. Dealer mentioned how unpopular they are and how much value it knocks off on the forecourt 🙂

Cheap house ,crap car no mortgage or finance more money for beer, holidays and other important stuff like um ,beer and holidays oh and bikes !!
I don't get Ford's current obsession with their 'gaping mouth' corporate grille - it makes most of their range look a bit odd at best.
I might buy a butt ugly car for practicality if it was 2nd hand, I'd never buy one new, there's just no need for that sort of crazy. Unless you want to start minicabbing, then that Tourneo is perfect.
I like how I'm the third Doblo owner to congregate on the thread about ugly cars. My Doblo has an honest charm, it is what it is and makes no attempt to be anything it isn't. The Tourneo has that same appeal, there is style in doing what you want and not being worried about what other's think.
I'd love to have a go in one of them Tourneo's for comparison, if they steer similar to a Focus, and more power could be extracted from the 1.0 ecoboost, it would be a winner for me !
Next door has a yellowish Tourneo Connect Grand, it's pretty nice. I'd love one. Or a Berlingo, but being a company car driver I can't 🙁
The latest Ford grill seems to be a modern take on the Mk 1 Cortina

Yet they manage to be pretty......
Not sure you've hit the nail on the head there though
yes. not particularly that car, but I do just buy a car to do a job, ie not to admire/show off in or gain approval. did buy a schoolboy flame in recent years but got all precious over it, so was potentially life-sucking. Luckily (?) it was soon beaten into scrap by other road users.
Like the Tourneo and it's practicalities, kind of considering one when my current cars expires. That said, it passed it's MOT today so it has a stay of execution.
All modern fords look like this:

Yes, the ugly car is outside being all French and incredibly practical. The missus didn't like it to begin with, I did. Now though I want something with more "Powerrrrrrr" as it's a bit of a slug.
You can't see it when driving, so just enjoy looking at everyone else's pretty cars?
- that's a euphomism for [s]diahohreha[/s] [s]diorhea[/s] [s]dhiaorear[/s] the shits right there 😆Copper Pulse
I've just bought a Skoda Octavia VRS.
It does look pretty dull but it's a lovely drive.
First time I've really bought a car where I was a bit nonplussed about the looks.
