And the new Tarago is no exception. Its like they're all trying too
hard to do something, but I don't know what it is.

Pretty much looks like the current model with a goofy nose grafted on.

I agree. I think the Chrysler 300C is a refreshingly good looking car
though.

Don't really know what happened to Toyota. Ugly cars are
their business these days. Almost if they go out of their
way to achieve ugly.

Then again, industry wide this really has to be the decade
of ugly motor vehicles.

I haven't decided yet if the Europeans or the Japanese were the new
champions of ugly. For a while I thought the Europeans were leading,
but the Japanese are fighting back with stunners like the new Hilux,
Nissan Tiida, Mazda 3 hatchback etc...

Personally I think the Mazda 3 hatchback is one of the better looking
hatchbacks. It's certainly better than the previous one and better than the N15
Pulsar hatchback.

The commodore and even the falcon look pretty good at the moment but as far
as sports cars go there isn't any good looking cars I can think of.

I reckon rx8s look good. Saw a bunch of them driving together a few
weeks ago. Mustve been half a dozen of them all covered in dirt and
dust - obviously coming back from a day of spirited driving somewhere.

They look ok if you don't compare them to the series 6 rx7

Yeah, there's a bit of that, but the "Euro look" isn't all that flash either
at times. Some of the things coming out of France & Italy at the moment are
fucking *awful*.

Amen to that!

Quite possibly the best looking car ever, and I say that bearing in mind all
the exotic cars too. s6 rx7 makes me funny in the pants.

Its just a concept car. The production version will be watered down. It
happens with all concepts.
