OMG!!! Those cars are disgusting, are they styled by blind people, do they not realise people want to buy a car that doesn't make you say, "What the.....?"

They need to change the sub-text of the Sunfire from "Exhilarating. Affordable." to "Crosseyed. Constipated."

The Buick's horrible. That Sunfire though - well, it's got a certain - I don't know what!
It's not big enough, otherwise I might consider it to go with a Renault Avantime. At least unlike most modern cars, the Pontiac has got a "face", even if that face has been inspired by that of the Great Gonzo. |

that Sunfire looks like a cross between a Renault Megane(front) and a Hyundai Coupe(rear).

Count yourselves lucky to not have to see Pontiac's rolling showcase of boy racer styling on the streets everyday.
Like, gag me with a spoon, or something. The only nice looking vehicles GM makes are the Corvette, the GMC trucks and SUV's and...um, ah, er, that's it. Ford's SUV's are nice, but their cars (Taurus esp) are studies in what happens when you give designers bong water. |

The worst thing you can do to the Monaro/GTO is stick a spoiler on its bum. It has one of the nicest looking rumps in motoring, particularly from the side. A spoiler merely ruins the lines.
Think of the perfect human bum ......... Now place a big, ugly, hairy mole on that bum. Not pretty is it. That's what a spoiler does to the Monaro. |

I'm with you Mac, why put a shopping trolley handle on a sports car?

Okay, to those who obviously don't know the story of the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona and the 1970 Plymouth Superbird, these cars were homologation specials built for stock car racing, and they absolutely dominated on the race track for those 2 seasons.

Yes, count me in as a Mopar appreciator - although for my money, I'd have the Dodge Charger.
Nothing wrong with the Superbird though. |
