    I do like those hubcaps as they made the car look quite cute whereas the others don't really suit it.

    The Honda Insight went from a sleek hypermiling beast with an EPA combined mileage of 53 MPG


    To a bloated Prius knockoff with an EPA combined mileage of only 41 MPG

    The second gen looks like an EU Civic if it got an concussion.
    OT:

    Quirky, and cute. Fine for an cheap car.

    Now it looks like an Logan hatchback. Seriously?

    I don't agree of this. I actually liked the new version. It does not have the quirky look like the old one but it still has the feel of a Dacia.
    OT:
    The pre-facelift RX-8 looks sleek and sexy.

    Sadly, the new face ruined it.

    If I want to buy an cheap car, then it needs to atleast keep the styling simple. The Logan on the other hand made sense. I do agree with the RX-8, but really because of the aggressive styling.
    OT:

    Such an nice Forester....

    JESUS!

    It is a logan hatchback...

    Ot:
    1st gen Renault Megane looked great before facelift and it had actual glass headlights.


    While the facelift version had awful plastic headlights and worse engine (the top spec cupe in pre facelift had the F7R williams engine while the post facelift had the lower output 2.0 IDE engine with faulty injection system)

    It's okay, but not bad!

    Really? It looks like an F-150 Bronco but it's not from Ford.

    Okay, is this gonna really be the Silverado Bronco? So unoriginal...

    Peugeot 406 Coupe



    Left original, right facelift.

    Facelift is not bad, but I like original more.
    --- Post updated ---
    Mercedes CLS. I hate what happened to one of the most beautiful 4-door sedan.

    1. gen. The Best
    Lowest window line, clean side design that flows perfectly through car, curvy door seams, taillights fits the design and bumper seam. Curvy and sporty but elegant interior.

    2. gen. Still very good, but lost that something
    More hard edges, lost that clean side design. Straight door seams, higher window line. Blocky interior, but still elegant.

    3 gen; Farce
    Headlights doesn't fit, taillights looks retarded. Overall shape looks less coupe than previous, window line lost its clean flow. Interior went all Nintendo, not stylish at all.

    1st generation: The best Cedric, it looks like an luxury sedan and has charm.
    2nd generation: It downgrades, as it later turns into an Japanese Challenger sedan.
    3rd generation: Is this even consistent? This looks like an full-blown sports sedan, and seems to be out of what the 1st gen and early second generation tried to set up.

    Actually, they work well for me. The only time where I might see the E-Series fail is from the last gen Econoline, a bit too bulky and truck-styled.

    I prefer the Explorer to the Bronco II, but would take an original Bronco over either any day.

    Rover 400: from more or less accomplished, badge-engineered Honda Domani...



    ... to somewhat desperate attempt to relaunch a dated product with a pair of squint headlights ...



    ... to one of the (countless) reasons why Rover went bust.

    Strongly disagree. That's just the nature of car design of the period (It was a common styling feature of the 70s to have somewhat agressive "coke bottle" styling) Pretty much every car of the period had changes in similar style as those Cedrics

    OT: was already mentioned, but not that well

    the before

    the after

    y tho...

    I personally kinda liked the 2015-2017's

    but the 2018's made it way better but my dad hates all of the newer ones
    (can't find a good pic of a 2018 with the new grill that's white)
    \
    Unless I build and price one but I don't love the stripes ( I love this grill )


    I drive a 2013 fx4 ecoboost (this isn't mine in too lazy to take a pic)
    And I'm getting rid of my 2013 f-250 fx4 (same reason for not having my own pic)
    Mine isn't a platinum doe
    the new one looks good too

    Yeah, because 2 round headlights in a black rectangular grille is so uncommon.
