If you want ugly look no further than the MCC smart Roadster or the VW
Toureg.

Who buys these things eh?

Oh no, the new Smart Roadster is seriously sexy!

(Pity it has the same auto box as the normal Smart)

If you want ugly, how about all the new BMWs or even worse, that Fiat
people carrier abomination.

Have you seen one in reality rather than a photo? They're completely out of
proportion like the Audi TT (tart's transport) and new Beetle....

Tha handling doesn't seem much better than a normal smart either.

Yep, seen quite a few around. Now if only they had a transverse Rover
K-series behind the driver, they could be a better looking alternative
to the Elise. (Don't like the jelly-mould TT or the Beetle)

(I liked the looks of the first series Elise, but not the fashion-victim
looks of the current one)

I do like my Domino Premier Mini though. (GRP convertible original Mini
for those who don't know).

Noooo.... the Multipla is excellent! But then I have always liked the old
Citroen Ami 6, and what about the Renault Avantime? They only managed to
sell 250 of them in the UK.... this country just doesn't have any taste :-)

Thumbs up on the Avantime, awesome machine, I also love the Megan 2 Hatch,
so sexxxxyyyyyy! I could take or leave the Mulitpla though, I saw a Toyota
yesterday called the WILL, now that is one ugly car!
