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?
I've seen some ugly cars before, but this? Are they kidding? Who designed this thing, Homer Simpson?Quote:

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.
If the interior doesn't smell strongly of garlic it aint French..

Bob..VK3ZL..
looks like a typical citroen to me
That thing is so ugly it makes the Yugo look pretty.
Does the whole front clip open up?
Thank the goddesses that Citröen isn't in the USA market xD
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.Quote:

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!
Citroen SM with water injection. Wild!
I could mail them to market it in the USA saying i get a lot of praise for it
:mrgreen:

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