General Car Discussion

Looks just as good as most modern hatchbacks as well. If not better.

 

are you kidding me? that is literally one of the ugliest cars ever made

 

It literally does not matter how ugly the Gremlin is. The dreck being put out by current manufacturers is worse. Perfect example - Ford Fiesta. For a second I thought it was taller than it was wide, and the shape is just... brickblob. I could see how the Gremlin wouldn't be considered conventionally attractive, but the proportions are way better than most of the modern FWD hatchbacks we're being fed right now.

 

disagree

 

How is this less attractive than a fucking Gremlin?!?

And if you're just mad because "oh he doesn't liek how a clasic murican car looks, he must be an ilerminati globulist" then you'll be pleased to know that this is actually one of my favorites, and I will admit it looks better than a GTI:

 

Looks way better than what the Ritmo tried to accomplish.
Anyways...

Nice effort for a 2018 truck, Volvo!

 

In almost every single way.

 

Well, @NinetyNine! said the Golf nowadays is bland. (I do like the car below the GTI.)
Also, it looks better than what other companies "hatchbacks" looked in the 70s. Let me set the 2 examples: Pinto and Ritmo.


Personally, I'd choose the Gremlin. The Pinto looks pretty stale, and the Ritmo is very fugly.

 

I never said the Gremlin was the ugliest production car of all time... that title goes to this piece of junk, also an AMC.



Given the choice between a Pinto, a Ritmo and a Gremlin, though, I'd take the Gremlin.

 

I didn't mean that it was, that's why I picked cars related someway to the Gremlin, and yeah, I'm sure people would more likely pick the Gremlin than the other two.

 

All Semi Trucks companies do that mostly because who the fuck would buy a brand new Semi (Don't get me wrong I love Semi trucks but making a new model every 2 to 7 years would waste more money than it would make)

 

Well, Volvo wasn't originally a company for trucks. It does to be honest looks a bit better than Tesla Truck, from the renders atleast.

 

Neither does Dodge but they still made Semis

 

Well, International was the opposite. They were originally making semis, but then they started making these kinds of cars as well:

 

Nah, the Pacer while a little... "Special" looking isn't the ugliest car of all time. That title goes to yet another AMC boat.

Meet the Matador. I've posted it several times on this forum, and everyone has yet to find an uglier vehicle. I makes the Aztek look like a piece of 16th century Italian art, the Prius Prime like a Japanese oil painting, and the new Honda Accord like a piece of nature photography with a dolphin jumping out of the ocean.



God damn it's vomit educing. What makes it better is they tried to make the 2-door one a looker and still somehow managed to fail.

 

Well, while some people above are on the classic hatchback kick, I decided I'd show off my parents' old vehicles, one of which is my dad's Pinto.

My dad's Pinto (I don't know what year) with a 302 cid. small block Ford swapped into it.


Same Pinto, different paint job and no hood (and a totally 80s air cleaner).


Here's my dad's Ford Escort.


Here's another picture of the Pinto. This time it's in the Greece Ridge Mall in Rochester, New York.


Here's my mom's 1995 Jeep YJ. My parents bought it new in '95 and started 4 wheeling it in '96, bone stock. This is what got us addicted to Jeeping.


Here's my parents' 1973 Ford Gran Torino. At this point it had the 460 cid. big block Ford, the scalloped paint job and a detroit locker out back.


This is my dad's Ford F-150.


Here's my dad's fiberglass body Jeep CJ-5 with a 351 cid. Ford Windsor, Ford 9 inch rear axle and 33" Interco Thornbirds (which are the worst tire ever and didn't stay on the CJ for long)


Sadly, out of these vehicles, my parents still only own the YJ, CJ and Torino. The CJ is now black with blue scallops and has a full cage, harnesses and bucket seats. The YJ has for sure seen better days. Currently, it's up at our cabin with holes the size of half dollars in the frame rails and no good metal left on the body (as a result of NYS winters). It also is white with blue scallops and used to be our main vehicle to 4 wheel. Still, regardless of these vehicles being gone, we own 11 vehicles.

 

The Prime already looked better than the original Prius, although now it's the only modern Prius I can look at anymore, not even the Prius v and c was spared.
... but are you ready for this?

WANKER!

 

My favorite hot hatch is the GTI easy.

 

Volvo's first truck left the factory 9 months after their first car did. You could argue semantics but I would say they're just as much a truck company as anyone.
