Tesla Faces Accelerating Rate of Model 3 Refunds

I'd argue that no car is actually 'ugly', as in repulsive. Awkward perhaps, like the early versions of the Fiat Multipla and Ssangyong Rodius. But I'd rather look at something odd than something bland.

You quote the new Mini and 500 as nice looking. To me they are bland and unadventurous, and the Mini looks ridiculously bloated. I'd walk past them in a carpark to look at an Aztec.

Compare a 500 with a Panda on the same platform. The latter has much more internal volume and looks just as ... bland.

I do find ugly cars repulsive, but as other's say it's a personal taste thing.

It's the same guy, Dante Giacosa, who designed the Multipla and the 500.

I too dislike bland cars, but almost any mass market car is going to be bland. By mass market I mean anything under $/€20k and designed to appeal to the mass market. At least though with bland cars they just fade into the background and you can ignore them.
