Surprisingly Nice-Looking Cars

[Leadfoot[YT]]

The concept here is pretty simple. Everyone lists cars that no one really thinks about, but are actually good-looking cars. :)

 

I'll start with some of these:

 

Subaru Legacy Wagon - Actually not a bad looking car. A family member of mine has one, and it looks pretty good in real life. Perhaps not from the angle in this picture, but in real life...

 

 

Ford Taurus SHO - Saw one of these today (not sure if it was the SHO model, but it was a specced-up one), and they look pretty cool. It was parked next to a Subaru WRX, and it looked really futuristic compared to the "commonly styled" WRX.

 

 

BMW M3 Sedan - Tons of people criticize the standard 3-series for being Bangled, and from two angles (front/quarter while understeering, for example) the M3 Coupe looks kinda' weird. However, the sedan is amazingly both simple and complex; the hood bulge, the flowing lines, the clean shape. One of my favorite looking cars. :)

 

 

Subaru Impreza STI (2009) - Back to Subaru, for a more controversial one this time. Living in a snowy area, I see Subaru's all the time (dozens per day), and I see a bunch of STIs, too. And I must say, in real life, this is a pretty good-looking car. A few messy lines, but with the multi-spoke gold wheels and WRC Mica Blue paint, this thing does look good. :)

 

Well, that's it for now. Any "surprisingly good looking" cars you know of?

Kia Pro Cee'd

Hmm, let's see:

 

Honda Accord Tourer

 

 

Mazda 6

 

 

New VW Polo

 

 

That's all I can think of atm, maybe I'll add more later.

The Accord Tourer is ugly as hell... :p

Alfa 159 Estate

Alfa 156 Estate

 

Most estate cars generally.

 

Oooh! Insignia Estate.

[KoenigseggBG]

I would also like to add the Volvo S60, Fiat 500, Alfa MiTo, New Renault Megane, Fiat Bravo, Peugeot 308CC and Jaguar XF.

I don't know if this counts but I think the Dodge Charger(LX) is one of those.

 

Most people say its ugly because its a 4 door car and ruins the Charger's heritage. If it had a different name(be it Coronet, Interpid, etc.) people might have a very different view about the car. and it actually does have a bit of Charger in it(V8, RWD, etc.) and there were much worse cars wearing the Charger name. a rebadged Cordoba and a 1980's econobox.(3 Door)

I also like the new Mazda 6 also very much:)

:D:D

[hpluls]

Forgot about this one. New Citroen C5:

 

[Car Freak]

Agree completely with the Mazda 6 and Subaru Legacy. And why are the Fiat 500, Alfa MiTO and Jag XF "surprisingly" good looking?

 

Anyway:

BMW 5-series E34

 

Kia Koup

 

Mazda 2

 

Audi A4 (B6)

 

Peugeot 406 Coupe (esp from the back)

 

And that's all I can think of at the moment

I Own the car your talking about, and yes it does have some chargery quailtys, Mines only the base model but its still has ALOT of guts surprizingly with its 2.7L V6. If they had called it the interpid, I would probally have shot my self in the head, And about the RWD thing alot of people now choose the expensive!..Yet very safe option of AWD in there chargers ;).

2010 Buick Lacrosse

 

[KoenigseggBG]

It's a ruined Insignia, end.

Insignia is pretty good looking. All that's different is the wheels and the grill. :p

[CarMadMike]

Actually the bumper, Lights and the side is different too (you'll notice a nice curvy design on the side of the insignia) Overall, the insignia is a much better looking car in my opinion, plus the new buick grill's are just disgusting. I still like the lacrosse though, it's still a decent looking car.

Thank you for saying everything I had to. :D

[CarMadMike]

May i just correct koenigsegg and myself, the Buick Regal is the brand engineered equivalent of the insignia (Here), the lacrosse must be the car up or something.

 

I know this is just a concept, but i still think it's a great little car, although i'm sure no one will agree :lol:

 

 

I just think it looks loads better than any smart or god forbid G-Wiz equivalent, and should definately make it to production, although it probably won't.

 

Come to think of it, off of the top of my head i can't think of a recent volvo that is ugly, they're all pleasing to the eye. Even the ones dating back to 2000

It's my Username for a reason :rolleyes::cheeky:

 

I still would love to own that pug, it's awesome! :D

[gingervette]

Mike is correct in saying that the American Buick Regal is the equivalent to the Insigna. The Buick is more expensive, a bit bigger, and has more options to choose from.

[zo6dude]

Hmm..

 

Cobalt SS

Ford F-150

Mini Cooper S

Escalade

 

Thats all I can think of now..

[Immelmann]

The Viper is actually rather nice looking for a massive turd of a 'car'.
