I really hate the 'cartoon character' nose on that Malibu. I like the body alright, but not the face.

If those two grilles were either closer together or just one grille with the badge centered, and the headlights were set forward a bit more, I think that would look fine. You can see it's a perfectly fine average car that's let down by the front.

Personally I'd go for a nose similar to the 2014 Impala's. I really do like the body shape though, it's pretty decently proportioned, especially for your average-joe midsize FWD sedan.

Not much needs to be said about this one.[/QUOTE]
I actually like that a lot
I think it looks modern-retro in a good way like the newest Beetle

I'll probably catch flack for this, but I think the Cruiser did it better. Though the HHR isn't bad by any means.
The only thing I don't like about it is the grill on the hood. If it was differently shaped it might've looked a ton better.
I've heard the HHR SS model is actually pretty quick.
260hp with a 5speed, same engine as the Solstice gxp.

Seems to be a running theme with the guy who designed it!

Nope, I'd agree. The PT Cruiser is fugly in my own opinion, but it's better than the HHR.
[QUOTE=BandClassHAH;43851418]This makes me want to vomit. It's just something that can't be replaced or - in this case - "Updated" with "sleek lines" to be ~aerodynamically pleasing~

Maybe you'll like the non-Ponitac G8 front version better. Or the VE Holden ute.

For the most part, it looks fine, but I just wish that the bed sides were significantly lower and/or matched the raked line going up the flank of the car.
If a Delorean fucked a station wagon....

THAT would be their child. I think it even has gull-wing doors.

The first one reminds me of an old Ford Aerostar, oddly enough. The second one though.. I really don't like that thing's dumb face. If it were a person it would have the most punchable face imaginable. Something's wrong with those headlights, man.

The FPV (Ford Performance Vehicles) F6, GT and GT-P models of the FG series. I'm sure that they are absolutely fine cars; rear wheel drive and powered by either a turbocharged four litre I6 or a supercharged five litre V8. I actually really like the Ford Falcons of the FG series (which the FPV FG series is based on), everything from the base model (although anything but basic) XT to the G6E to the XR6 Turbo. However, I just cannot stand looking at those absolutely stupid headlight accents and those childish decals. I think the bonnet decal is optional, but the decal on the side isn't. The FPV GS doesn't have the accents but it still has stupid decals, the only FPV model of that series that I like is the FPV GT-E which lacks both the accents and the decals.

FPV GS, the decals are much better, but I'd still like the option of not having them at all.

FPV GT-E, my favourite of the series. However they eventually stopped producing it for some reason (I think it was a limited run).
Man, once you pointed out the black accents under the headlights...I can't unsee them. :(

I like the idea of a raptor competitor from chevy, but good god the styling. It looks bloated.

Man that looks like a piss-poor photoshop. The grille looks like it got taken from a new TRD Tacoma or something and just lazily got slapped onto the thing. hope it isn't real, because that's just.... ugh...

I understood what Clarkson said about it being good to drive, but why does the styling have to look like they got the Doctor Who designer to sketch it on a bad day?
That roof is way too squat and rounded.
And those wheels. THOSE WHEELS
It really looks like it had potential to become a nice convertible if given a soft-top, but they crushed it too much and slapped heavy-duty wheels on it.
At least it looks a tiny bit nicer when there aren't 3,000,000 lights shining on it:

What I hate most about it are the front wheel arches, they're too straight.
It looks like a futuristic speedboat, not a car.
