The 924S looked OK, and I've always thought the 944 was a really nice looking car, but I always thought the first version of the 924 was kind of a homely car. Really narrow track so the wheels sit way inside the body, ugly wheels, too "slab" sided.
Although I wouldn't call it one of the ugliest cars. Just kind of homely and plain, particularly for a Porsche.  And, today, most 924 are pretty ugly! Most that I see are total beaters, some that have been "fixed up" by well meaning but misguided owners who bought them for $900, and are in ugly shape. This isn't too far off of par for the 924 course these days:  The 914? Well, I'm a huge fan of the 914, have had a few of them, and will probably have one again in the future. I like the way it looks, although I can understand how many (most?) would say it is kind of an ugly car.[ Last edited by CarreraS2; 11-30-2003 at 10:07 AM.. |

The teener is a sorta-nice-looking little car. Cute in an ugly way, I guess. The Chalon bodykits are absolutely horrendous, though.
The 924 is just blah. Like a Camry. Not overtly offensive.

How bout the MB ML500? the big Benz SUV. Most of these squared off mini SUVs seem to be a copy.

I think the ML is the one that looks like a minivan. The Gelandewagen is the G500. I think it's cool looking, though I doubt any G500 owners in the US use it for its intended purpose.

Are you guys all forgetting about the AMC Eagle? (The concept was there, all-wheel drive station wagon. Audi and Subaru took this concept to the bank.) But the execution. What were they thinking? Monster truck ground clearance and wood-grained contact paper. Ugh.

If these chicks make "THAT" look good, think what they could do for a 924!
