Front end designed by Peterbilt on a bad day, rear end is the backside of a Corvette Stingray after it was swallowed by the Cheshire cat. Wow, did they ever miss on this one.

One of the best automotive rear ends is still the 1969 Chevy Camaro:

I always preferred the Pontiac version of the F-Body.

Sorry, but that Lexus grill has reminded me of an insect’s mouth since the first time I saw one on the road. I seriously thought the car had been in an accident and was driving around without part of the bumper cover or whatever grill furniture was supposed to be there.

I wanted to like that Lexus but something still isn’t right about it.

Almost no Rolls since Volkswagen took over have had any appeal to me even though they cost a fortune. The Wraith being an exception. I do like the look it has. These here are the black badge edition.

That’s an ugly front end. I’ve noticed more and more cars are reaching for ‘ugly’ with the front view.
