I've been wondering lately about how some boxy cars manage to come across as rather elegant and classy despite their rather simplistic "boxy" designs.

I think this warrants a thread where everyone can post what they feel are the coolest-looking boxy cars.

I'll start.

My favorite, the Renault 21. This picture says it all. Lovely car.





I always felt these run-of-the-mill Caprice Classics looked good. Still do.




Don't laugh, but I've always liked these. Early 1980s Ford LTD/Crown Victoria.





Dodge St. Regis! My father owned one back in the day. Aside from some rust issues, underpowered and inefficient engine, the car was "decent" (reliable).

 

the old mercedes comes to mind, like the w123. Not sure if those are considered boxy enough

 

I think the replacement, the W124 was far boxier in appearance.

 

My all-time favorite boxy vehicle. This is a 1986 F250 with the 6.9 diesel. We had one just like it when I was a kid.

 

^^ classic truck!!

 

Built like a tank too. The 90-94 Legacy's are probably the best car Subaru ever built, and the EJ22 non-turbo engines last FOREVER!

FJ40


Countach

W140 S and CL:

 

I like the current Toyota bB, which is different from the 2nd-generation Scion xB. It's more faithful to the original concept and I'll bet its interior is better than the current xB's.

 

My two boxy favorites, Volvo 850R (sedan or wagon) and GMC Typhoon

 

Oh and the MB G Wagon of course

 

1964 Continental FTW. You can close the thread now.

 

My favs old school imports. Datsun 510 and the Cressida.

 

Dave took the first thing I thought of..Volvo 850...others
