Ugly American cars

But which is uglier?

Colin thinks this is prettier (less ugly)


than this tat, which I think is slightly better.


Sorry it's the only picture I have of the Toyota.



OMG they are both horrible.

I don't know which to choose, honestly.

The Monte seems to be paying a piss-poor homage to the beautiful 70s versions, so for that, it's more of a fraud.

Who voted for the last option....

I'd say the Toyota was more actively ugly, the Chevy is less ugly on account of being more boring but that doesn't make it forgivable.
It's too close to call so I vote option 3, aka a draw.

As few of you will have been "privileged" to see a Solara in the metal,  I thought a couple more pictures might help you to decide here:

It looks like a poor copy of the Lexus SC430, which itself isn't exactly elegant to begin with.

Weirdly, there was Cadillac BSE, or whatever it's called, parked outside my house yesterday morning. Then I saw another about two hours later about 500 yards further up the road. Is this a UK record?
Matt

Got to be. I've seen two on different days and about 10 miles from each other and that was a surely just a coincidence.

hmm, privilege is not the word I'd use......put simply if they were both on fire......







....I'd have plenty to keep my hands warm, they're both pants.

I saw a few Solaras while in California in November and, well, I didn't think it looked to bad, for its genre.

So sue me.

That is truly awful.  Anonymous, amorphous and way too long in the passenger compartment to look right.  The septics are amazingly undemanding in automotive terms.

In fact, the wilting, post-tumesence of the 'ends' (fnarr fnarr) looks almost apologetic.

This is a "would you rather have AIDS or Ebola" question. But the Toyota gets it for sheer ungainliness.

AARRRGGGHHHH!!! MY EYES!

The Monte is a poor take on the Prelude, the Solara is too... too... too...
...ummm...
...long.
