What in your mind is the ugliest shooting brake?
My Entry: The Kia Rio Wagon
I saw one of these yesterday and I was disgusted.
Feast upon the blandness...
Ugh... look at this interior

I’d love to say it’s as boring as tap water, but even then, that’s an insult to tap water.

This is going to be an absolutely scalding take, but the international 7th gen Accord wagon (we got the sedan as the first TSX). Looks fine from this angle...
But the rear part just looks tacked on.
I don’t get why people like it so much.
![]() 03/08/2018 at 11:22 |

Easy. Probably an unpopular opinion, but Honda really phoned this in to the point that it looks like a bad photoshop.

They’re all good wagons
![]() 03/08/2018 at 11:26 |

I’d say “boring,” but not actively ugly.
The generation that followed was probably the best looking Japanese wagon of the 90s though...
![]() 03/08/2018 at 11:26 |

yes

What about mk1 XF sportbrake?
![]() 03/08/2018 at 11:28 |

AestheticsinMotion got it right, but this gen Camry wagon is a contender. In person, the proportions of the back are just all wrong.
![]() 03/08/2018 at 11:28 |

Too bad you’re correct, there’s no good looking E60.
![]() 03/08/2018 at 11:29 |

No.

Do any oppos remember a TV show that turned a Kia Rio wagon into a race car? I believe it was a Canadian show that aired about a decade ago. I can’t find it on google.
![]() 03/08/2018 at 11:30 |

The new one? Do you really not like the look of it?
![]() 03/08/2018 at 11:30 |

The inside is what matters... Where some see a v10 I see a heart of gold.
Btw... Make another forza review... I say RS6 vs e63... If you wish I can help you with the pictures

I’m not sure what the mk1 looks like— never sold here in the US. Picture?

That’s not a bad idea. I wish we had the new E63 in the game.

Yeah I like the front. Dont like the back. I think the Ford Taurus is very ugly but I think the Kia still has it beat...

I’d love to nominate the Giulia wagon, but y’know...
![]() 03/08/2018 at 11:35 |

I’d say M5 but it’s very old in game, not sure it can keep up...

Most of these entries are boring to me, but not actively ugly. This thing is actively ugly. There’s just so much going on. It’s like Exner ate a bunch of mushrooms and dreamed of the Imperial Suburban, but small. In my opinion, there’s a total incongruity of styling.

Hot take: that actually looks better than the sedan.

typed in ugliest station wagon and google gave me this
welp... im not gonna argue with google... it never lies
![]() 03/08/2018 at 11:40 |

I only give the Kia a pass because it looks like a Kia should look (from the era) — awkward! The sedan version was just as bad, IMO.
To me, the Honda was bad because they took a perfectly nice looking sedan and slapped a rear on it, almost like it was just an aftermarket conversion.

Counterpoint:
The lines are just so much better.

This works too.
![]() 03/08/2018 at 11:41 |

But which one? First one is a Hyundai, second is a Daewoo. I think the Hyundai is probably the uglier one, but the face on the Daewoo is so bad that I had to include it

I could do CTS-V vs RS6, but idk how much of a power gain the CTS has over the Audi
![]() 03/08/2018 at 11:46 |
|
Probably not as bad as the Elantra gmctavish posted, but I hate the looks of the CTS-V wagon:
![]() 03/08/2018 at 11:48 |
|
That’s a good idea cus the audi is AWD...
But do take pictures of both cars at the same time... Perhaps go to the Dubai circuit with a fellow forza-7-er so that you can take pictures

I’d like to nominate the Kia Pride. We got this in continental Europe from 1995 to 2000, but it obviously was a rebadged late 1980s Mazda 121. Known in the US as the Ford Festiva.
The interior would’ve looked dreadful in the 1980s.
I’\ve looked for them for sale just yet. Almost not to be found, and those I did find were all <€900. Highest amount of kms? 145k km (so <100k miles). Tells you all you need to know about the quality of these things I guess.

![]() 03/08/2018 at 11:59 |

Yes you can but I’d argue that the E61 is the best E60 because it got spared from that disgusting trunk lid.
![]() 03/08/2018 at 12:03 |

![]() 03/08/2018 at 12:12 |

Yeah that’s not all that attractive, though I’ve seen worse.
![]() 03/08/2018 at 12:12 |

I said the same thing about the later 7th gen wagon (1G TSX to us). And like the 4th gen, the next gen wagon was much better looking.
![]() 03/08/2018 at 12:14 |

You hush your mouth, that generation had 5sp as an option. Plus I like them.

It’s better than the sedan, but it’s still not great. Look at those tail lights.
![]() 03/08/2018 at 12:16 |
|
It’s only a bad take if you think it looks worse than the coupe.

Are we talking shooting brakes, or all wagons? Because not all wagons are shooting brakes

The B9 Tribeca is better than the sedan.

No it’s prefect. So functional. They could have done something better with the tailights, but this Camry was designed for the US market specifically so I’m sure the wagon was a total afterthought. Even in 92 minivans and SUVs were taking over.
![]() 03/08/2018 at 12:31 |
|
Yeah that.., Elantra? is way worse than the Kia. That rear window shape is all wrong. At least the Rio doesn’t look like a total afterthought. It looks like the design had some thought put into it beyond “we need a wagon version, i guess”

TFW a thread about the ugliest shooting brakes doesn’t have ANY examples of shooting brakes, just wagons.

Trick question, every wagon is automatically awesome and good looking by simple virtue of being a wagon.
![]() 03/08/2018 at 12:43 |

Oh, I thought you were implying there was a B9 sedan.
I’d be hard-pressed to agree, but the facelifted one is quite tasteful.

Is the QX70 technically a wagon? The corolla is pretty ugly..

Saturn SW1. Just a whole lot of sadness going on there. Of special note, they didn’t do any real design work to differentiate the sedan from the wagon. Look at that lazy rear window design it has..
At least the DOHC SW2 had a little bit of pep to make up for the rest of the blah-ness of the car.
![]() 03/08/2018 at 13:53 |

The QX70 is one of those cars that borders ‘estate’ and ‘SUV’ in U.K. categories.

There is no such a thing as a good looking CLA but the Shooting Brake is even worse than the sedan
