What's with everyone bashing GM? I think the ONLY GM vehicle that is ugly is the Impala. Ugly front, ugly rear, ugly in-the-middle. I think the ONLY good looking Ford product is the ConTiques (although the new T-Bird isnt THAT bad looking.I have a revised list because my mom and I went car shopping for my next car (2002 Bravada, baby!!!) Here's what I saw... UGLY: 1) Chrysler PT Cruiser with the woody-vinyl sides (the one I saw was purple...) 2) Ford Mustang, can you say "girly car" anyone...? 3: Ford Focus, thing should be called the Out-Of-Focus 4) Ford Taurus - Oval, Oval, Oval.... 5) Jeep Puberty...errr Liberty... BEST LOOKING: 1) BMW 540i (Again, maybe I'm biased... :p ) 2) 1995-1997 Mercury Mystique LS, theres just something better looking about the LS' 3) 1989-1990 Pontiac 6000 STE/SE AWD, boxy yes, but they still had more style than the rest of the A-Bodies  4) Any GM truck (Bravada, Avalanche, Tahoe, Escalade...) 5) BMW X5

oops...forgot to say something above!!!!i bash gm cause i hate gm..and i think most if not all gm cars are crap...my family has experienced first hand 3 gm cars that were lemon lawed..i'd have to say that speaks for itself...ever since then we have only owned fords or foreign cars and no major problems whatsoever....by the way moonlight mystique,this is a ford site,so don't be surprised to hear gm bashing....and as far as you having the nerve to say a mustang is a girlie car,try calling the next cobra that rolls up next to you a girlie car,and watch them show your gm loving a** what a real muscle car is all about(whether its a girl or a guy driving it lol)

What you are seeing is that theme continued but to less of an extreme. Yeah, when it went sour in my aesthetic opinion was when the moderate size muscle car aesthetic bloated up and became the norm for big sloppy family cars... and then they had to turn it around and try to get good mileage, which left them with big sloppy overweight underpowered four-poster beds on wheels... it took them decades to get their heads out of their rectums, and even now they're only peeping out with one eye.

That's not a clown shoe, that's an elegant italian dress loafer type shoe. I think it looks classic.

Seeing that some people are putting the best looking cars in here let me just add one and I say this because of how the car looks today compared to todays cars....1963-67 Corvette Coupes or "midyear" as they're called. IMO this car is absolutley beautiful, just look at the car from every angle next time your at a car show, especially from the back, the way that top comes down to a point, the way the fenders are styled, yes "styled" imagine that concept today :p
