saw an '09 fx this afternoon

and boy do i think it looks rediculous

the vent behind the front wheels, the headligts, the grill ... none of it worked, and it looks like a tall vw beetle ... or other bubble-inspired car, it also doesn't look as long in real life as it does in pictures

basically ... me no likey

sorry, i seem to have forgotten how to shrink the image

I have seen one on the highway. I was never a fan of the FX. But I think the new one takes it to new heights of ugliness.

Definitely not very clean looking, too overstyled in front. The back end isn't too bad, but it just doesn't do it for me.

Surprisingly I like it, I love the previous model but it's getting old.

Glad Fay started this, b/c I did see one recently and I pulled over and parked the car and started throwing up.

It is hideous in a way only Frankenstein could love it. Its the official vehicle of the Addams family.

I wasn't a fan of the old one but this new one is just a mess.

I cannot stand the deep noticeable line where the hood is, just looks cheap on an incredibly ugly vehicle.

I kinda like the rear too, especially how the LEDs light up. If only they fixed the grill and implemented the L-shaped headlights, this thing would be hott.
