yeah!! those were the mustang pics i was talking about. a lotta foreign cars are ugly, maybe its becuse we r not used to them and what not. this might upset people but i dont like the infiniti j30 either, although there are many cars that are to the "n"th degree uglier. i just saw one so i nominated it.
btw doesnt the black or silver avalanche use less plastic than the other colors? i forgot which color...i think it uses a chrome bumper. correct me if im wrong please

Toog4me, I just like to pick on the Excursion. It really doesn't look that bad on the outside. It's just that Ford tried to out-do GM. GM held the market on the full-size SUV's with the Suburban and it seemed that Ford tried to do it up bigger, but it didn't come out better. The Suburban, IMO, is just a better vehicle.
As for the Avalanche, I thought that think was hideous at first, but it has grown on me. Put some 20's on it and it's not so bad...not practical, but looks better. Also GM has models out in showrooms now that don't have all that body cladding. IMO it looks much MUCH better painted. On second thought, it may just be the dealer in my area having the cladding painted. Either way, it's coming from the factory sooner or later. You can thank Bob Lutz for that...or not. But he's the reason.

Here is an example of (1) painted cladding and (2) larger wheels. GM's full-size trucks have such large fender wells that they are better suited, at least visually, for larger wheels and tires.

The suburban is by far a nicer and better looking car than the Excursion. Can you say 10 MPG? (in the excursion)
Funk Master Flex has a nice *** Excursion and Bhusta Rhymes also had a nice one in the Mountain Dew commercial.

The new ford thunderbird? I agree with u about the Aztec and the C class, and I think the SLK is ugly too, but the ford thunderbird looks so classy in my opinion, really shows the roots of the car and is nice for all kids of people
