5 Best and 5 Worst designs.

gonzo · 05-07-2009, 09:23 AM

According to AOL autos.

I agree with most of their picks on worst except the Jeep is not THAT bad. Best is a tough one for me. I like the TT but....

gonzo · 05-07-2009, 09:26 AM

The AMC Pacer just creams the Jeep IMO. What the heck were they smoking?

SteveMD · 05-07-2009, 10:54 AM

The Mondial is the only Ferarri I would give back if one was gifted me

I couldn't handle the 215HP although the later ones had 300.

The TT MK1 (8N) design isn't all that pretty. the New one MK2 (8J) on the other hand.....

For some reason I always liked AMCs so called worst looking cars ever created. Pacer + Gremlin FTW!

How is the Prius and the Insight not on the list for most ugly.

Throw the Scion XB's on their too, and Element.

And what was the criteria (years?). Because not putting any classic Bugatti and/or Duesenburg on their is flat out wrong.

You have to remember the time when it was introduced. quite different from others.

It is the only car recognized by the Guggenheim afterall.

1st off: AOL Autos is usually just full of random things. I swear there's some non-car enthusiast sitting at a desk, just picking out pictures he sees. They've never been accurate on their "Top Lists" at all, and I'll say that going back at least 8-10 years.

You're right, the new gen TT is MUCH sexier.

I like the xB. Almost bought one when they first came out. Would put it in the top 100 cars of all time (1st gen, not 2nd gen). Small, decent gas mileage, TONS of space inside, unique interior and exterior styling, reliable.

I'll agree with you on that. But they are hideous to look at. I'd buy one if I needed something like that.

That was more or less my point. His/hers picks are all over the place.

Couch: I think it said over the last 25 years.

I agree with most choices, but I'm not sure about the Veyron being one of the five best designs.

LOL @

hahaha

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn · 05-11-2009, 02:50 AM

add the Ferrari 599 and the California to that list of horribly ugly cars.

NewSong · 05-11-2009, 02:51 AM

I'm surprised the 1 Series isn't on the worst design list.
