Kill it! With FIRE!







Looks like the bastard offspring of a 1 Series and an Aztec...

I've used a plunger to get rid of things that looked better than that car.

Someone will buy it. I knew someone who bought a Honda Element! On purpose!

Wow, did they hire some Japanese car designers to design that?

It just needs a huge rear wing and front spoiler that is a foot or two long and it will be perfect.

I don't know, a lift kit and some wheel spinners might make all the difference.

I'm going to get one, and sit outside my house in it, watching DVDs on the in dash Player and eating liquid gold.

Be that guy.

Does it have a game console controller instead of a steering wheel?

Other than the blue, black or gray parts it isn't too bad.

I agree with Norstril Cheese, "Why must they make it so ugly?"

Feel the same way about the Volt, Prius etc. Some one should develop a kit that fits the platform.

Park it next to a Nissan Juke and pick a winner.

I dare ya.

I'm convinced that there must be significant numbers of people who crave/need attention and want to drive something so different from everything else on the road that they're willing to go to any lengths to do that, and the manufacturers/marketers know that, hence all the strange-looking vehicle designs on the showroom floor.

The same goes for "rims" that grab your eye.

IMO, if the wheels are the first thing you notice on a vehicle, the owner is trying too hard.

Very wise by BMW. There is a huge gay market out there just looking for something suitable to buy.
