Author Topic: Return of the ugly front end! William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-05-2003 04:51 AM                        Walking through the parking lot, I saw the Toyota Celica GT More horrifying in person of course, but who could forget that hideously ugly front end? Yes, it's the Jensen CV-8, dug from the grave! Yes, the country which brought forth the Jaguars, Triumphs, Morgans, pre-Rolls Bentleys & other vehicles of luscious beauty also produced this abomination. But stolen by Toyota? Blind, sadistic, unethical ogres are running the design studio. Everyone was livid when Mazda just xeroxed a Lotus & called it the Miata, but that was something *worth* stealing. The Jensen CV-8 is one of history's most famous monstrosities. I wouldn't kick a Jensen H-type out of the bed, though.  |  IP: Logged Ron Lacheur Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 650 From: British Columbia, Canada Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-05-2003 03:49 PM                     The Aztek still takes the cake for the ugliest car in production.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-06-2003 12:35 PM                     Jensen Intercepters rule  |  IP: Logged Robert E.

I'll take a '58 Chevy any day.  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-06-2003 04:31 PM                     I own a Celica and I don't think it looks bad at all.  |  IP: Logged Emma Tomiak Expert Film Handler Posts: 238 From: Carrollton, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 11-06-2003 10:36 PM                        I think PT Cruisers are the ugliest things out there. I call them ugly-mobiles. And yeah, Azteks too. Now a black 1990 240SX (S13)--THATS a car!  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

I was getting sick of those aerodynamic balls of puke.  |  IP: Logged Adam Fraser Master Film Handler Posts: 499 From: Houghton Lake, MI, USA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 11-06-2003 11:35 PM                        I dont really like the flush headlights of a lot of new cars. 04 Grand prix, Celica, 99?-03 Camaro. The inset look or at least separate from the rest of the car has much more appeal. Give me a early 70's TA any day. How much better can you get than two round headlights sticking out a little bit to look just a bit 'mean'.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 11-07-2003 05:05 PM                        quote: At least the Celica above has edges and lines.

Sad to say, but when she went out to buy a car last year, avoiding aerodynamic design was at the absolute top of her criterea.  |  IP: Logged
