There was a Nissan car concept that resembled a couch on wheels. I couldn't find it, so we may only imagine how it looked. And it looked like an HEAVILY widened original Nissan Pivo.
The Ford Taurus wagon is lazy and displeasing to the eye. This '96 looks like they took the Taurus sedan and glued a D pillar to it. The '99 looks even worse. What is going on with the front?! I don't even know what to say about the '90 Taurus wagon's backside.
The 1959 Shamrock Looks, in true Irish fashion, drunk and bloated. Still has some charm to it though, and there are only about 8 left, so they're worth a lot too.
The rear is ruined. First of all, the roof looks like it was originally gonna be a gran coupe, but then shorten the rear end, or the "fastback" style they were attempting, seems to be more like what a crossover would do. Also, that duck-lip spoiler ruins it as well, it just looks like it was added for aero, that's it. Another detail, is it just me, or is that bumper look pumped... but very unusual. I honestly don't know why the rear is fugly, but the front is fine.
Mercedes ruined another promise, ain't I'm surprised... (It's literally the hatchback CLS, doesn't even look original.)
"Slab-sided" is the first thing that came to mind when I first saw these pics. They went from contrived, absolutely random creases on the sides... to absolutely nothing. From "overstyled" to "non-styled". Mercedes, please...
I thought the Fiesta Active was bad... now this.... who thought the Ka needed a cross-hatch? I'd prefer a ST/RS variant, that'd be awesome, but nope. We had to get the same variant that made the butchered Fiesta more "crossover" than the Prius c.
Launched in 1980 as a notchback variant of the Beta (1972), it was a late and unsuccesful attempt to relaunch the model and please the traditionalist customer base that never accepted the fastback bodystyle of the original.
