The Buick Beluga. Not only more fitting, but it sounds better too.

I don't think the looks of the SSR is THAT bad. At least they went out on a creative limb for that one. It's not supposed to be practical, just a retro-hotrod thing. I think ....

The other one that looks unusually awful is the Envoy/Trailblazer XL - the extended versions. Looks like something that was done in one of these chopshops that makes limos out of Hummers and Escalades. Read a test report in one of the auto mags on the XL and they did not have a single good word to say about it. Usually they temper these 'tests' a little bit so as not to lose any potential advertising, but this was a total slam job. Of course, anyone who's ever driven one wouldn't need to read the article. I rented one once and its handling/performance can best be described as 'dangerous' - where's Ralph Nader when ya need him? .
