This is pretty typical when a "new design" comes out.When my Grandparents bought there first \X/ bug in 1956 at Percision Motors in Beverly Hills California,most of the bigger cars with tail fins,bumpers as big as houses,longer then boats yada yada yada couldn't stand the round thing on four wheels,and guess what.....the VW Bug outsold the record for production vehicles surpassing Henry Fords Model T and Model A.Think inside the box people!!!

 

I was walking out of the grocery store today and 2 guys that worked there were walking ahead of me going to change the specials sign. When they went by my XB one of them told the other I don't like those cars but I like that one. When I left the parking lot he waved at me like a kid waving at Santa in a Christmas parade. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They aren't very pretty when they are plain but a little work and they just shine.

 

looks the people that did this study dont like cars but their own

BMW 7 series and S klasse mercedes benz

 

I find it funny that the Tribeca looks very close to an RX 330 which is a very pretty a popular car. Obviously these people just don't like boxy cars whichis where new trends are headed.

 

Not that I think our rides are ugly but...

I'll take ugly over boring any day of the week... (car wise at least... I"m not that enlightened yet).

like...
its better to be infamous than unnoticed
and
bad press is better than no press...

I like how they manipulated tha angles and the lighting to make every car look the worst it could...
(xb still looks good though)

and I doubt the list is in any particular order... I mean the fiat multipla... that's about the only car up there that I might seriously reconsider my above statement for..

 

That's just

 

I like them all. If money were not a restriction I would like to have the xB, the xA and the tC. All of them nice rides.

Also, I had the oportunity to test drive a Pontiac G6, and when I sat inside the car.... that was boring and cheap looking.

Our scions are way better that many entry level wannabes.

 

The biggest thing is the fact that other people are quick to condemn and ridicule the people who are the first to get with the next new thing. sometimes the next new thing dies out and they can say "I told you so". sometimes it becomes the next Big thing and they end up with their foot in thier mouth when they go out and buy the 5th generation. Im proud of my taste.

 

2 words
Scion Envy

 

People can hate and say what they wanna say.... I love my xB and thas all that matters to me....

 

who cares what anyone else thinks? as long as you like it, your the one who has to drive it, not them.

 

Anybody else notice this comment towards the Element ?- A toaster on wheels! It is so ugly that it makes the Aztec look attractive. — Glenn

I like this one towards the Fiat - It is the automotive equivalent of a 440-pound mother-in-law. — David


Or the Avalanche- Lovingly adorned with more plastic than Anna Nicole Smith.
hehe

Some of those are too funny.

 

When I bought my Xb all I could think was "I hope nobody else likes this car."
I would hate to see an XB at every intesection. I like the fact that so many people dislike it.

 

Agreed.

 

Well if it matters to anyone,

Life magazinerated it as one of the ten Sexiest cars of the year.

For it unique styling!

 

I guess If I made an ugly car list, it would include:

BMW Z4, 7, 5, 8 and upcoming 3 -- because Beemers used to look tight but now they look bloated and frivolous

Impala, Monte Carlo and Malibu -- ugly and boring at the same time

Chrysler M300 -- a squatty brick shoving a huge chrome grill

Dodge Magnum -- removing the chrome doesn't help, and they're in denial about it being a station wagon

Cadillac Escalade -- like a 300 lb drag queen

Nissan Murano, Quest, Maxima -- there's a difference between bold designs and bold designs that work

Infinity FX -- like a steel-toed running shoe

Toyota MR2 -- another car where the front and rear were designed by different committees

Mazda RX8 -- because the last RX7 was so beautiful

Porsche Boxter and Cayenne -- cars that cost this much should look three times better

And, of course, the Pontiac Aztek -- someone should have pulled the plug on this pig as soon as it became clear the show car didn't translate into production

 

i think the fiat needed to be at the top of the list... who in the world thought of that design...

 

I don't think the H2 is ugly... most i've seen are very impressive looking, especially in black.

 

The folks who consider the xB ugly are looking at it from the wrong point of view. When I'm sitting inside enjoying the room and visibility I could care less about how the outside looks! it's a tool, not a fashion statement!

 

Sorry bro, but the Max is hot, won't speak on the other two.

I've seen some tight xB's on this form. Nothing I would buy, but none the less hot.
