Any bets on oversized bling-bling wheels and a wing as well?

I voted for spinner rims, but was also going to mention the spinner hubcaps because there's something about them I just can't figure out - why?

The worst thing was whan they replaced chrome with ugly plastic. Next worst thing was the trend toward turd-shaped cars.

What about all that plastic body cladding that is installed in the factory? I think that is about the worst thing I've seen on production vehicles. The Chevy Avalanche and Honda Element are two examples of this that come to mind. I think the old Pontiac Aztek had this as well.

Another bad trend I've seen is the ugly syndrome. Every time I think I've seen the ugliest vehicle ever made, along comes something else to take the cake. Some examples are the Pontiac Aztek, Honda Element, Toyota Prius (especially the older ones), and Scion xB (again, the older ones).

Edit: I just realized Magnum Mike already addressed this matter:

I first thought the Honda Element was the ugliest automobile, but not long after that, Scion definitely took that title from Honda. I'm not sure how much these Scions cost, but you couldn't even give me an ugly car like that!

You can vote for more than one, so give it a whirl!

What about the new trend, the tacked on fender vents of the 3 piece fake chrome vents sold at Pep Boys.

Funny Thread!
