Subject
forum_emoticons.html	[quote=G-MANN,17647]I have an idea, antp, how I about I submit what I think are the least attractive and bland-looking cars from the 80s (could cars released in the very late 70s count?) and you can comment on them and post pictures of ugly cars from the 90s, and possibly the 2000s, and I'll comment on them. Other people can join in, but I'm going to stick with cars from Europe and Japan, I'm going to leave American cars out of this. Even though every decade produced ugly and beautiful cars, I just don't feel the 80s was the best decade for car design, too many of them were boxy (as in like a cheap box), flimsy and plasticky, no appealing curves. It's not just because the cars left are old bangers and haven't become old and rare enough to achieve classic status yet. But then to each his own.[/quote]

Pretty much all of the econoboxes that were offered. But they werent really desgined to look attractive back then... just basic transportation.

I nver really liked the Oldsmobile Cutlass. Sure, it's smaller than most american cars and with better handling (I hear) and I even pefer it to most modern cars, but it is my least favourite Olds, as it's just too plain.Yet, I do not like the '81 American Ford Escort either.Too plain, and that's a British name.

I don't like the overall look of the early 80s Cadillac Seville at all, it wouldn't be so bad if it had a more normal trunk instead of that weird rear end.

I agree, i do not see the point of doing that, ruins a perfectly good car

First of all, I din´t find ugly the 80s Tempo, perhaps the interior are labelled as a rental-fleet car, but is not ugly

OK, my selection of ugly cars of the 80s are

* Saab 900 notchback
* Nissan Pulsar NX coupe
* 1983-88 Mercury Cougar
* Chrysler Lebaron convertible with woody trim
* 1980-82 Ford Thunderbid

That Anadol (Turkish car,Right??)looks like something someone built with whatever leftover parts they had laying around from whichever bunch of cars they parted out?? That thing's hideous!

Early 1980s Cadillac Seville

That is a car I could choose to do without. I am inclined, however, toward late '80s GM coupes like the LeSabre. There was even a T-top model in one of those years.

The Ford Tempo was futuristic looking when it first came out in 1984.

In fact, they were used as Police cars of the future in the 1984 movie "Runaway" starring Tom Selleck.
