Those two cars in particular are so overplayed now that a lot of them are completely hideous :eek:

I drove a friends Abarth 595 and it was brilliant, like a big go kart

I am talking about the grossly enlarged examples, crossovers and the like. The Abarth pretty much adheres to the original concept of the latest flush in terms of size and looks :rolleyes:

Yes our friends have a countryman - it’s big n bloated on the outside, yet small and cramped inside like an ugly reverse Tardis. o_O

Just looking at your picture again, what an awful looking thing it is :eek: Just looks cheap and nasty :(

That is the good angle, I followed one last week and almost threw up

Sadly there aren't many beautifully designed cars around. Maybe it's happened because manufacturers are trying to squeeze fuel economy to the limit then trying ( and usually dismally failing) to add a few interesting quirks to the slippery designs.
Add to that the propensity for SUV type cars and cars getting larger and those who appreciate beauty in design are in for a torrid time. :(

...some of the Far East offerings offend my eyes to the extreme! :eek::confused:
