General Motors Vice Chairman Robert Lutz uses his gift for rhetoric freely to criticize current automotive design trends. ;)

That Solstice he's driving doesn't look too shabby :)

The solstice doesn't look horrible. But if you've ever seen any pictures of it, there aren't anybody lines, so if you wreck it, it's not as easy as just to pick up a fender and slap 'er on )* Does have a different look to it though.

If you want ugly, look at these:

What I don't get is why do all new cars have those "wrap-around" head-lights? They're fugly! :d runk

the last pic is OK I guess, but the other two are butt-ugly, especially that SUV or whatcha-ma-callit.

most newer rounded cars I think are pretty dumb looking. they Look awful the first time U see then and make it up to just annoying to look at.

That dodge looks cool i think... The other 2 are buttugly though... I think the wrap around headlights look ok... A lot better than the old school square or round headlights are LOL...
