Weird, Bad and Ugly Cars.

[kkacper]

Now an italian car : Ferrari FF. Okay it's not really ugly, but it still has major weirdies :
- A Ferrari break ? What the hell is that ?
- A front engine, 4x4 Ferrari ? Gosh !
- And what about a GREY Ferrari ? Please kill me


Finally, I do not want these cars to get killed with fire, as I don't really think they are really bad (except for the Avantime's triangle lights extentions !) but I wanted to share these with you. As always, this is a matter of taste.

I actually do love the FF, something about the latest Ferrari designs in general and I love the idea of a V12 engine in a shooting brake with 4x4(also front mounted Ferrari engines are a tradition that has never gone away, just look at one of the most famous Ferraris, the 250GTO, with its v12 front mounted engine ). I guess everyone preferences are different. Though I agree grey Ferrari buyers should be shot

Also I do think Lada Niva is a horrible looking car, maybe not as bad as some on the thread but certainly one of the ugliest cars produced up to this day.
before a facelift

and after

What do you want from the Niva? It does not look bad...

Well for 70's it doesn't look too bad but it's 2013 and it still is the same box being manufactured, with barely any change and for being made today as it is on the pictures. It's my opinion anyway and I guess a bit of the "it's ugly/weird" really depends on who's judging

[Kubboz]

Well, it's like saying that Fiat 126p is ugly because in late 90's, it was still the same box being manufactured since 1973. Especially considering that Niva is an offroader, and offroaders have got longer lifespans...

Back to the topic...
have you seen the new Lexus IS?

[kkacper]

Well now I have, and one thing comes to my mind: What were they thinking??

[Kev2442]

This is quite... well... edgy ? Curvy ? Ugly ? Nah.
It's not that bad, but it is quite strange.
About the Ferrari style : I'm not a fan, but I like classic ones. Especially the F40, F50, 288 GTO, 355 and 360. That's why vertical headlights and no twin headlights on a Ferrari is for me a crime. And the front engine just doesn't make sense for me as the modern ones just take too much place in the hood to keep it short and sporty : old Ferraris are great, but it was before the MR wave for the most popular ones. The other ones are GTs and don't really count as they are pretty different and designed for more average drivers. I think the 550 and 575 are true Ferraris though. Seems it's the exception which confirms the rule. (French expression badly translated, woo !)
Anyways, this car is still a weirdie in the great Ferrari Family. But it's not worse than others. Hey, who said "Porsche Panamera" ?

EDIT : How could I forget the Spada Codatronca ?

Hands down.. The Wildfire WF650-C



Its sold in the US.. which astounds me. Still, At 60 MPG.. I dont think i would be ashamed of myself to drive one.. in the summer. Because when the snow hits, i would not trust this thing.

Pretty much like a modern Reliant Robin (seen before).

[Flaxix]

That admittedly above is just a curvier Reliant Robin.

BUT THIS IS WEIRD...LY AMAZING. I present to you the Bertone Mantide.

Wow, I must say that except from the lights, it's looking pretty 90's x)

I hate threads like this, mainly because I find I like a lot of cars in them. I like strange unusual cars, I've got a thing for 80's boxes, I'd much rather own something that you don't see often than something everybody else has, even if its only to a certain taste...

[Marian87]

Strange and unusual does not necessarrly mean Bad and Ungly so you can keep liking cars in this thread just not all of them. :p

I saw a previous post about the Fiat Multipla.
So I raise my "optimisation"

You'd be hard pressed to find a weirder production car than the 1957 Zundapp Janus:
