The comment about a cross between a piggy bank and a bread box is priceless.

The only way this could be uglier is for it to go into production!!! Can you imagine two or more of these on the road???

I wonder if it's like the old (mid 50s)Citroens that had that adjustable suspension system that allowed you to change a tire without a jack? Citroen had some innovations that were far ahead of there time. It looks like it took them about 60 years to discover butt ugly.

ETA Maybe an appropriate name is the FUGLY.

What do you expect? It is French, don't you know. And, besides, is it any uglier than the Fiat Multipla, which was actually manufactured?

"Ugly" is in the eyes of the beholder. I think this concept car has a degree of charm. Just imagine it with 30 antennas, and weather wacker gear. Marvelous!

It looks like it should have a jet engine in it; that "grille" looks like one hell of an air scoop.
Where are the bolt-on wings?

That would be neat, but I couldn't use it. I don't speak French.

You don't need to. Just use it, never wash it, and let it stink.

If the unfortunate grill was redesigned, it would be pretty sharp looking.
The rest of the lines are pretty sexy for a toaster on wheels.

Right now, it looks like a piggy bank.

A Yugo wasn't ugly, just boxy and utilitarian-looking. What it was, though, was a piece of junk. In fact, it was so unreliable that the manufacturer included a rear window defogger as standard equipment just to keep your hands warm while you were pushing it.

Looks like it might. I don't see any other doors.

And it didn't work any better than the rest of the car.

Looks like a French Edsel. It does look a bit like the worlds fastest pig too.

When I was stationed at Fort Holabird, a friend had a Citröen sedan. It was a remarkable auto, with many refined features, including a hydraulic suspension and headlights that swiveled with the steering. One had to remove the entire rear fender to change a tire. It was smooth and very comfortable on the road, and it had tail lights positioned at the roofline just as is standard here now.

While in Germany, another friend had a 2CV, which was even more remarkable for having but two cylinders. Canvas seats and a gear shift that look like an old man's cane sticking out of the center of the dash panel. Cheap and very reliable transportation. I wish I had one of them today!

Back when I was working for Caesar Chavez, one of my co-workers had a Deux Cheval; we traveled all over northern California in it. Great little car, simple as a hammer and just as reliable. I wouldn't want to be in crash in one, though.

Oh yeah! Yep!

I finally just had a look at your link...that thing is fucking ugly!


What a terrible thing to die in due to the restricted visibility.
