Actually that's a pretty good looking car. There are a handful of new or newer cars that I like.
But generally speaking I can't stand new cars. I haven't liked new cars since the 80s. My ultimate dream car would be a `59 Cadillac, any model.

The 80s were like the dark ages of automotive design.

Cars stopped looking nice around 1970. They only started looking good again in the late 1990s.

I like the new Chrysler Crossfire.

I like the Ford Cobra, 6.4 liter, V10, 605 horse power & 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds. Yeehaa ! But, I don't think it will make it to Calico.

Actually, I could probably count on one hand all of the new cars that have appealed to me since the 80s. I think they've been getting progressively uglier since then. Right now they are at their worst, although the 40s were pretty bad too.
With the popularity of today's cars, I doubt there are many people who agree with me on this though. 8)
For SUV's I think the ugliest are the Pontiac Aztec and Honda Element. Then a close third would be the Chevy Avalanche and its Cadillac variant.
Again, just my opinions.
Give me an extended cab early 90s F-250 Ford Powerstroke and a `59 Cadillac Coupe deVille and I'd be happy. :p

I agree that GM cars really sucked in the 80's. The only thing different about their sedans were the emblems and the prices. GM tried to pull a fast one on the consumers. GM deserved the lousy decade they got. Chrysler hit a home run with the Crossfire. It shares a lot of mechanicals with the littlest of Mercedes roadsters. I might be dating myself, but my first car was a 1947 Lincoln V-12 coupe. Oil came in glass bottles and gas was still under 25 cents per. Tom (Pine Barrens enthusiast and car nut)
