Growing Old Disgracefully!

dgt

As an opposite to this thread, cars that haven't aged well....

A bit of fun!

Need some rules like younger than 15 years or no stuff like the Hindustan Ambassador/ Paykan/ Ladas etc....

To get the ball rolling....

Suggestions for year cut offs?

Eric Cartman

nissan tiida , even the brochure picture looks 90's, it was old the day it came out

toastedpickles

Dafuq is this?? A horrible crossbreed gone wrong:pac:



Also I suggest a cut off of around 95? any lower and it's a no go

colm_mcm

Surely they'd have to have been considered good looking when they were out?
Those cars were outdated when they were launched

For Forks Sake

This was launched in 2005. Dafuq were they thinking? Saw one on 07 plates the other day, how could anyone with money to spend think "this would be a good use of my cash"

Bigus

Did ssangyong get a glimpse of this when they were designing it:eek:

There is one of these elderly looking disgraces sitting in my drive way. Thankfully its not mine.

Still being sold until 7 years ago. I'm sick of looking at them.

Kia Rio - this kinda thing

Hyundai Accent -

I showed a fiat in other thread, so let it be fiat again in here.

This was done for EU market in 2002 to 2004, so roughly 10 years ago.

daewoo leganza - produced till 2002

I had never seen one of those before, and being frankly honest, I could have done without seeing that. Can't believe a car like that was still in production up until last year.

00833827

Lancia Ypsilon - always see these on my hols and they always strike me as being out of sync with other Euro mini's



this one produced till 2003, however generally i like Lancia's.

I'd say every Daewoo will end up on here. Launched in 2000, I cnnot believe tat Pinafrinna had anything to do with this car.

Front looks like an old Fiesta to me.. but then it goes horribly wrong!

Because I don't think they ever made RHD version for UK and Ireland market.
But on the Continent they were quite popular.
I think they replaced Fiat Siena, Palio and Palio Weekend.
Those were also quite ugly yokes.





Those were the second part of 90's cars.

and being frankly honest, I could have done without seeing that. Can't believe a car like that was still in production up until last year.

Version I showed was 2002 - 2004.
After that there was an facelift, so the car manufactured until last year looked like that:

Not much better really, but bit better IMHO.

2003 Audi A4

2004 Ford Ka

down right ugly Ford Puma

HurtLocker

Ford Ka.. Sold up until and in 2008.

Zcott

Agila. Usually driven by grannies or grannies-to-be.

Ilik Urgee

Gonna get shot down here, but these this generation dated very quick imo. Getting sleepy just looking at this one.

Flaming commences in 10, 9, 8...

CoDy1

Zcott

Stretching it slightly because this is 1998. Mazda Demio.

Zcott

Similar to the previous Agila, the Suzuki Wagon R+.

porsche boy

wooow, the Puma & A4 are not cars that have aged badly, VAG used that A4 as the basis for their 'all new' Seat Exeo so technically that car's still in production. still looks sharp and commands a few quid in derv form!
James May uses a strange word to describe ugly cars. Gopping. All these cars are gopping...

Fiat Multipla

What I'd loke to do to all the Multipla's

Pontiac Aztek

What I'd like to do to all teh Aztek's

G-wizz

What I'd like to do to all the G-Wizz's

Skoda Favorit (thanks BA!)

...Guess wha'

Ssangyong Rodus

Nobody even bothered to take a picture of a crashed Rodius.






By the by,
This aint gonna age well AT ALL:
Dacia Duster



THen I looked for a pic of a crashed one and found this... 200 wrote off Dacia's. Epic.

HurtLocker

Went onto carzone and searched citreons in 2003. Horrible stuff.

ba_barabus

That's not a Fabia, that's a Skoda Favorit

00833827

Citroën Ax - produced and sold until 1998



i would have guessed '88 - i remember they had 3 bolts in the wheels. Some of them at least

00833827

Renault 4 - produced until 1992! whaaaaa????



In fairness i wouldn't say they have dated badly, they are a real modern cult classic in my opinion, remember when they were P&T vans delivering the post? Im posting it cos they were built and sold much past their sell by date.

Mister Jingles

There's no way that the Puma deserves to be in this thread, the inside may be outdated but certainly not the outside.

A lot of older VW's, Especially the B5 Passet

And while a fairly decent car these always looked outdated to me:

Dartz

90s cars all look like 80's cars that've been left to melt in the sun for a few hours. It's that sad, dopey roundness to everything with an interior made of dustbin lids - as if designers suddenly forgot what a ruler was for.

Only a few (Like the RX-7) pull it off well enough not to be **** ugly.

dgt

Woot this has grown!

I takes it cars made up to within 15 years ago so?

To add....

1999 facelift


1997.....


2002


2001

Ahem..............


.........I'll just leave this here......

I always thought these yokes looked very dated with the round lights. Taken from bangernomics!

Ford Ka and Fiat Multipla they were called UGLY from very beginning, just because they looks different. Multipla is perfect family car and families love it. Ford Ka is just small and cheap city car and even with this, one of most nicest designed city cars. It has big potential for modifications is anyone want to modify such poorly powered car:

Very practical and roomy.

But even I can't bring myself to say it looks nice... It doesn't. Even the facelift couldn't do it

maidhc

I think people are missing the point of these threads. It isn't about ugly cars or cars that were sold too long, just cars that have aged badly. My lot:

Mondeo MkIII. Not helped by one of their bigger customers.


BMW e39, compared to its Bangle designed successor


Ford Escort, from a different era to the Focus


Avensis. A facelifted and rebadged car 1991 car sold until 2003 was never going to age well.

miller50841

Hilux doesn't look well the new one I like though.



Ugly this one Seicento


The Multipla :eek:

If you talking about this ugly Fiats, Hyundais and Passats - this is how it all started:



FORD SIERRA

Not ugly cars.... Dated! DATED!!! :P

Stuff that looked best before it left the factory!!!

With ya on that one, those Es are horribly dated now, even 5 years ago.

they came out in 1996 ffs, so the design is over 20 years old

at that Nokia were selling bricks as phones and only nasa had a gig of ram.

Funny but the styling of that has grown on me over the years. I would never say it was nice but at least they tried to do something different, unlike the likes of the super bland Toyota Camary from the same period and they are actually a hugely refined and capable car, one of Ford's better efforts from the period.

I wouldn't mind having one if I was regularly doing long journeys, I don't need to see it from the inside after all and I can enjoy the comfort.:p

Besides, was it any worse looking than the late 1990s Merc E class?

The sierra was revolutionary 31 years ago. This was the competition:




In fairness the Passat of that era still looks fantastic and it all explains where it went so badly wrong for British Leyland.

DO they still use those VW rims on the transporters? They look familiar.

H3llR4iser

The pre-Bangle BMWs (3er E46, 5er E39), they really look much older than they actually are. To be fair it is quite a constant with German cars design, at least until the started to invest in design (the mentioned Bangle for BMW, Da Silva with VW/Audi etc.).

Funny fact, I still remember everybody scoffing at the first Bangle-designed 3-Series, saying it was too bulky and the window like was too high...

Yes and round lights were dated even then.
