Here is proof that the concept of beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
Can you identify this "beauty"?

You wouldn't be the first person to make that observation!
The sales brochure was as bad as the car's styling and its mechanical parts. To quote the brochure in part:
"__________ looks like a fish. Big fish. Big fish out of water"
and, if that very honest assessment of the car's styling was not enough to bring someone to his senses before actually buying one, the brochure also stated:
"__________ is new and untried. Try it. It might work for you!"
In the 5 years that they tried to market this abomination, just a little over 1,100 cars were sold, making this mess a total loss for the company.
