How the mighty have fallen... my car (05 TL) still looks the best out of all the Acuras.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #2 on:** July 21, 2009, 12:22:37 AM »

Agreed.

The old Legends are pretty good looking too, though they are generic.

it looks like something out of a 1970s Marvel comic

I've yet to see a Cube in Seattle. I'm surprised some hipster douchebag doesn't own one... oh wait, they hate cars now.

The Cube is hideous. If I remember correctly, Patel wanted to buy one, I think.

Wow. It's like a Honda Element, only uglier.

Patel 11:53:21 PM: yes

Isn't that the new AMC Eagle? I'm partial to the Gremlin myself.

I thought the Aztek was an interesting concept car at least, I think it was one of the first SUV's that tried not to be shitty on paved roads. It did overdo the whole ribbed lower-body plastic cladding thing though and there were some funky angles but it was designed by the same guy who designed the C6 Corvette and the new Camaro at least so I'm guessing it wasn't his choice to go with such an "edgy" design".

This acura is the definition of fugly though.

Fuckin' bitchin! Throw some louvres on this hoss, flake it out in shit brown, some gold stripes. Where's my beige lounge suit?

Does it have an 8-track? Hi-fi?

Priuses were in for a while, but they've gone out of fashion again.

Why would I want a 2 door SUV. Aside from an oldish Jeep that is.

etiolate · « **Reply #19 on:** July 21, 2009, 05:39:54 AM »

the Aztek is way uglier than that

clothedmacuser · « **Reply #20 on:** July 21, 2009, 07:36:06 AM »

I like ugly cars. It says, we put functionality before your dainty modern 90's metro sexual fashion sense.

But that looks likes shit. I guess I mean I like ugly cars that look ugly because the are functional and minimal. There is a word for such an aesthetic

i dont understand cars. doesnt look bad to me.

Flat ass, figures you'd like it.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #23 on:** July 21, 2009, 09:53:04 AM »

I like the all glass top, if that is what it is. Ass end is a little weird but overall its way above the aztec and cube.

tiesto · « **Reply #24 on:** July 21, 2009, 09:56:11 AM »

It looks like the offspring of a Murano and a '08 TL

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #26 on:** July 21, 2009, 12:05:17 PM »

The Aztek concept definitely looked way better. When they had to put it on a production platform and meet bumper guidelines it all went to shit.

it's a four door with the real handle concealed in the black plastic. The body gaps are hideous too, they look like... an Aztek lol. Shoulda chose a different color for press pics.

Saint Cornelius · « **Reply #27 on:** July 21, 2009, 12:29:58 PM »

Walter White did a lot to hep up Azteks though

Prius sales have plummeted even more than the overall car market in the last year or so, as gas prices have come down. More than 50% iirc

drew · « **Reply #30 on:** July 21, 2009, 01:41:05 PM »

i meant that a guy in japan who is into gundam probably knows less about "hipster" taste than my mother

but that too
