looks like something the japanese would make..a mix between an accord and some 16 year old kid adding a bodykit to it.

How the hell can one go from a 1969 Charger to likin' that thing???
Where's the soul? What's with all the angles?
Why does the front end look like something from the Transformers movie??
It's supposed to be a car, not a Toaster oven....


Again, designers, please, put down the doobies, and get back to cars looking like cars.

That thing is really beautiful.  Tastes differ.  Remember, there are people who think Chevelles are pretty but Roadrunners are ugly.
[ŌŌ]ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ[ŌŌ] = 68
[ŌŌ][ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ][ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ][ŌŌ] = 69

Finally someone see the beauty.  Not 100% in love with the front shot, but the side shot to me is as artful as my 69 charger design was.

Nope, don't like it.  I see what you're saying about the profile shot, it's not bad at all.  But the rest of it is pretty ugly like the rest of the caddies.  I wouldn't go as far as saying that side is as nice as a Charger's though.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Ghoste

Its just homely enough to star in the next Transformers movie.   :eek2:

If it was given to me free, I'd drive it with enthusiasm.

If it cost $5000 I'd buy one.

If it costs what I think it costs, I'd buy a couple of muscle cars instead.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Sounds about right.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.
