Is there a car that is widely viewed as odd, or ugly that you thought from the first moment you saw one that it was absolutely gorgeous. Heres the two cars that brought the subject to mind for me.
The Infiniti FX. I’ve always thought these things looked rad. It’s like some one looked at an Z3M coupe said “lets make that for soccer moms”,and Too bad it can kind of be blamed for the whole SUV coupe fad. The Infiniti FX35 which is the now a QX70 I guess. I like both the first and second gen equally.
And this one is a shocker for me The last 5 people I’ve told about my adoration of this car have said, “Ew thats so ugly” or something along those lines. To be fair 3 for them were women under the age of 30 who aren’t “into” cars. one of them was my wife :(. My beloved Star/quests.

Let’s be real...Subarus aren’t pretty. Thanks to TTAC, the three-segment grilles are both weird-looking and infamous.

This.
It’s ugly and it’s a bit of a faff, but it doesn’t fucking matter to me.

It’s a V6 powered (I think they dropped the V8?) AWD wagon that just happens to be lifted a bit.
I’ve always quite liked it.

I like the FX35. It’s grown on me over the years. If it wasn’t for the need for a 3rd row I’d check one out to replace the Murano.

Actually my favorite Subaru looks wise, unless you count the Saabaru 92x.

If I was one of the people in my neighborhood who didn’t give a single fuck about driving, I would rock the RX.

Mine is identical to the one in the picture except without a roof rack. You could say I’m biased. That said, all the Subarus kind of look like they have bulbous eyes and exaggerated features. I find the 06-07s to be just a bit weirder than the bugeyes...the 04-05s are probably the “ugliest” to me. I like how all of them look, but they are not conventionally pretty.

“but it’s all boxy, and pointy, and has those stupid pop out headlights” what my wife said.

I like them, I think they are but ugly but I like them The Fast Lane Truck’s off road review of one convinced me they aren’t so bad.

The infamous review: http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2005/08/subaru…
“Not to belabor the point, but who in their right mind would put a vagina on the nose of an SUV, and then accentuate the effect with wings and hood strakes AND make the shape stand proud of the grill?”

Yes, she is, she tends to be wrong about things from time to time. haha

That and they are just massively imposing

they’re so brutish, yet posh at the same time. like a large tattooed man , in a tailored black suit, with a hefty gold pinky ring, sipping tea, seated in a fine leather chair, whilst telling you exactly why you need to meet his demands.

Ugly? I think that FX is downright sexy

i really dont thnk I could ever have one of those, i find it horrible and for some reason the hatch only makes it worse

The new Maxima has grown on me, however the new Murano, actually and Murano, is just ugly IMO

Despite what everyone seems to think, I find the F50 absolutely gorgeous. I think it is the most “pure” Ferrari ever made.

I SWEAR TO GOD THE NEXT TIME I HEAR SOMEONE RIPPING ON THE E60 I WILL FLIP OUT! YOU CAN SHUT UP ABOUT BANGLE!

There is an E60 wagon that pulls into the Gas station I work at a few times aweek. I always want to tell the owner I like his car, but he pays out side everytime.

I’ve driven an FX35 and absolutely loved it. The C3 Corvette-esque buldge of the fenders and car-like driving characteristics semented the feelings. I think they look good too.
If I’m going to go ugly... These little things get plenty hate. They’re Pinto based, oddly proportioned and underpowered, but I like them.

I take it you’ve car seen this before.

I don’t know why I think these Pontiacs look fantastic...but I do.
I also think that the 200 and 700 series Volvos can be very beautiful, all in their own way, but mostly if done right

Along a similar vein I’ve always liked these Lesabres. I know an older gent that summer dailys one that is just mint.

The Nissan Juke. Saw one in person at an auto show up close, and it looks really nice. The Recaro seats in the fronts to are comfy, and have a shit load of bolstering. It also had a 6spd manual, and it felt like a good tight shifter.

I’ve always quite liked the late Bangle Butt 7-Series, especially in Alpina trim.
