Getting Ugly

Hey people, sorry about missing yesterday’s post, i randomly fell ill but I’m all good now.

So there I was, walking back to work with my chicken melt baguette (amongst other things) in my hand, thinking about the delightful lunch I’m about to enjoy when all of a sudden i hear a high revving sound.

I look around expecting to see a high flying executive out on lunch in his flash company car, or a boy racer in a souped up pocket rocket, but to my disappointment what i saw a bald headed, cold-sore nosed, bare chested chav in a hideous monstrosity of a “car” known as the Toyota Yaris Verso. This thing was ugly! The equivalent of an over weight Mongolian with Leprosy.

It made me wonder, why the hell car manufacturers actually make this junk in a market where competition is tighter than ever, and the marketing of your distinctive advantages is a must. I see how ugly design is distinctive but how it is an advantage fails to make sense to me.

Here are a few victims of Ugly Car Syndrome (UCS):

The Fiat Multipla

Ugliness. Multiplied!

 

 ”Combine the worst elements from a lavatory cistern, Wayne Rooney and the British Bulldog, and you’d get something similar to the Multipla”

 

 

 

The Chrysler PT Cruiser

Cruiser to nowhere

 

“Formed by the seamless bonding of a hearse and a large air conditioning unit, the PT Cruiser makes perfect sense after 10 pints.”

 

 

 

The Ford Ka

The Ford Kak

 

“When the Habitat designer submitted his latest teapot design to Ford as an April fool’s joke, little did he know that by an administrative error it would end up on the road.”

 

 

Morgan Aero 8

Baboon's butt cheeks

 

“In order to reduce their long waiting lists, Morgan had the choice of either increasing supply or reducing demand. They chose the latter. The Morgan 8 is actually a normal Morgan which is heated to melting point and crashed into an oak tree on the Lickey Hills.”

 

 

Daihatsu Copen

Ass = Face

 

“A recent independent survey showed that 82% of drivers in the UK cannot reverse their cars for toffee. Hence the Copen solution. This ingenious car has no front or back and can be driven in either direction by simply swivelling the driver’s seat”

Renault Avantime

What is that??

 

“Clever use of a recycled bus shelter has allowed Renault to sell these contraptions for use in the next star trek episode at a significant profit margin. That’s one way to beat the credit crunch!”
