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.
Made me worry for a day when all cars on road are as lame.

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

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

Kia Soul


Scion Xb

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!"

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.
