Timeh   10 #37 Posted June 30, 2015 I love my car and i love it when people look at her. I only got her a few months ago and she wasnt looking great but some TLC has brought her back to life. I get a right buzz when she attracts attention Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
L00b   441 #38 Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) I think it's safe to say the Multipla has been truly and comprehensively supplanted by Nissan's Joke Juke in the ugly stakes. Particularly in that shade of dark-ish yellow that seems to do the rounds atm.  It's not a supercar, or particularly fast and, as car culture goes, MX-5s are very much a small subset or sub-culture...but I'm going to enjoy my commute very much this week I'm fascinated to know what you lot think makes a car beautiful (or not). Do explain. It's very idiosyncratic, and personal.  For me, it's a question of balance and purity of the design hand-in-hand with the purpose/utility of the car.  A car doesn't have to be low, aggressive, stanced, blingy or festooned in wings, scoops and bits of plastic. e.g. I find the 2CV (the original 1940s one) a beautiful car, even though -by modern standards- it looks like it would be designed by a trainee IKEA designer...or a 3 year old  Likewise, talk about marmite, I loved Imprezas (had 3: 97P 'classic', 55 bug eye, 06 hawkeye), but the veering to hatchback in '09 (IIRC) was a complete "urgh" moment. Never could stomach the Forresters and Legacies, then or now. I like some Astons (DB7), but not others (One-77...batmobile!), some Ferraris (365, F355, GTO) but not others (any of their new and 'angular' models or the 575), some Porsches (any 911, 928, early boxsters (Gen 1- Gen 2)), but not others (Cayenne, any model (especially the latest - what were they thinking with those front scoops!), and still a bit meh about the Cayman).  It's hard to put into words, really Edited June 30, 2015 by L00b Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
