Ugly motor vehicles.

I agree with comments about the Honda Element - FEH!

My mom and I both nicknamed it the 'Honda Elephant'.

We have always called it the Honda Elephant, but thinks that it looks more hippopotamus-like in reality.

It's a car most people buy for its functionality, not its looks.

I'm ALWAYS the wierdo in any vehicle conversation. I obviously have very strange taste in cars. I rarely like the "popular" vehicles, and tend to own or want the "oddballs". At the moment, for example, I own three cars ... all of them are some shade of purple. One is VW Super Beetle and one is New Beetle. I almost bought a Karmann Ghia at a yard sale last weekend, but my DH vetoed that.

I think Elements are cute ... but I only like the ones where the fenders are the same color as the car, I don't like that gray plastic look. I also think the Scions and Xboxs are so cute.

I really, really want a Mini Cooper S.

As for what I think are ugly ... I have never seen the appeal in the Chevrolet Avalanche or the Cadillac Escalade. And I think Vibes and Aztecs are SO ugly. My friend is in the market for a 70's Buick Rivera Boat Tail. OMG, I am speechless ... those were SO ugly.

Pacers and Gremlins have got to win some prize for ugly cars, and of coure, there is the VW Thing. WHAT was that?? LOL

I love the Smart Cars - they are SOOO cute! And, apparently, quite durable. Heard of one guy who took his from Calgary to Guelph and back, and it ran great! Would love to have a red one and put black spots on it and some antenna! LOL Smart Ladybug!

When I see one coming, I don't know whether to get out of the way or stick out my leg and trip it!




But as a Monster Car????

Ok, these suckers are just odd. They're so small! I mean, my Versa is small, and not at all cute either, lol, but I'd be afraid to drive in one of these.

I was in DC about 2 months ago, and they have them there too, the Smart Cars that is, and you can rent them by the hour, and drop them off at different sites. That's a neat concept.
