jellybean/cube suv
 
Saw these two on the freeway in Anahiem home of Mickey Mouse.
Looks like a complimentary car for the Dismal land employee of the month.

I've come to like the Honda Element to the point that I might even buy one, but those Cube things are the fug ug fugliest things I've ever seen.

I've seen a few of them in the Raleigh area.

I would rather drive the Aztec:rolleyes:

The Honda Element is not as boxy, not as small, and much more functional than the other boxy cars like the Scion. I can see the appeal of the Element.

Actually, I like the cube more than these two

AaaAAAAH I just drove to Hardees to get breakfast and I pull right up behind one of em in the drive through.


Hideous.


Obviously for those who buy cars for the wrong reasons. "It has a cool radio" and "I can plug my phone into it!"

Good for blindspots?

They look like something out of an animated movie, like Cars.

It's not like it's actually glass all around that one side; Theres still a big metal post on that corner, on the inside. It's wraparound glass on the outside only, for some retarded aesthetic reasoning.

Ah, yeah, that is silly. I'd have preferred both corners to be the same or for the one corner to not actually have the post.

They kinda remind me of Chunk from the Goonies :)

Isn't that otherwise known as ugliness?

Looks cartoonish. But hey, some are into that.

I think they are awesome and much prefer the Cube to another four-door with a trunk ala BMW.

It's about time someone stuck it to symmetry.

I know, I know. Don't worry, this is PPOT. I have my "flame suite" on. :)

I'd love to replace my Toyota P/U, Last time I priced a new one it was $32K.:eek: No can do.

slow&rusty 10-12-2009 03:32 PM

All new cars are look alike crap boxes even ones pushing $40,000 ALL look the same..as exciting to look at as a bar of soap:

Why do all these cars look the same, have designers lost their imagination to produce unique good looking cars that people want to own and drive?
Case 1: New E Class Benz:

Case 2: Current A6 Audi:
http://z.about.com/d/cars/1/0/6/P/1/09a6_rightrear.jpg

Case 3: Current Hyundai Sonata:
http://images.myride.com/images/vehi..._(544x408).jpg

Case 4: New Camry:
http://images.paultan.org/images/Toy...it_2_Large.jpg

Ironically the Sonata has been in production longer than the A6 and the new E-Class so the Europeans are now copying the Koreans. Times have changed!

I shake my head....
