Ugly cars

It is tricky isn't it.
I like the look of the new Mazda 6e.

No doubt it'll be a total flop here, but it does look quite handsome and they have been brave launching a saloon/coupe type car, so some kudos there.

I think that it is down to lack of front grill on EV's (no radiator - so no front grill) - they look like a slab of cheese !

Is that just the yellow cars?

A lot of EVs have various kinds of faux grills - mine has one.

Today's main stream cars are all designed and styled by software these days.
Is there anything new (ie not a modern interpretation of an old car) on today's market under say £50k that looks stylish?

'Style' is a word which dare not speak its name nowadays. Sad but there you go.

Quite funny as EV do have a radiator for the coolant for the invertor & battery....

In the E-Niro, the radiator is in the same place as the HEV, yet e-niro has a solid grill. Go figure that one 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Here's my ugly list

Fiat Multipla - looks like a squashed bug !

Ford Scorpio - even worse - no design concept

SsangYong Rodius - nothing good can be said - greenhouse crossed with an 80's Merc van !

The Mazda MX5 looks pretty good imho, and is still available at a reasonably affordable price.
