I made this to settle an argument about the insult to my eyes that is the '05 Mustang on another forum: On the left we have the Lamborghini Miura; one of the most beautiful cars ever conceived. Then we have the Austin Allegro, widely acknowledged by many to be the ugliest spawn to have ever spewed forth from the communal womb that was British Leyland. Between these two, we have the complete scope of how attractive cars can be. Finally, the 2005 Mustang...Is that even a car? Where would you place our much-loved retro tin on the scale? *n

The allegro aint all that bad, it has a certian something about it but i wouldnt call it ugly. Agree with rev, the Imp aint all that bad either (went to see one the other weekend ) Can we have the Jag XJ220 near the top? ;D ;D ;D

It's good isn't it? ;D ;D ;D I didn't make it though, it's been floating around the internet for a while now, I just stuck it up because it proved my point, but I'm not sure who made it up.

thats more texan sized. i went on holiday there earlier this year. that is the sort of up market thing you drive. if your normal then you have the unjacked up version. bit of photoshopping! most of them drive around in shagged out but retro yank pickups which you would pay alot for over here but can pick up for peanuts from the roadside overthere! robin

Ugly: Chrysler Crossfire. Clarkson summed it up perfectly - looks like a dog having a sh!t. Beautiful: Citroen DS. I will own one one day!! ;D

I think the Mustang's OK!
It sort of captures the spirit of the late 60's ones while looking modern too.
It's certainly not a 10 but I'd give it a 6 or 7
Citroen DS beautiful but obvious. can't think of anythng more beatiful tho'

It's not how the cars look...it's how you make them look.
All cars look good...once they're lowered. ;D

I don't have a problem with the mustang! its better than most butt-ugly yank sh*te. What he said - IMHO, the new 'stang is a nice piece of design. However, the Hummer H2 is just ugly.... My nominations for top of the automotive beauty scale are the early '30s Riley Imp / MPH (Imp = 1100cc 4cyl & exposed spare wheel, MPH = 1500cc 6 cyl & covered spare wheel) and the late '30s Riley Kestrel

escorts are butt ugly, but everythin on there is there for a reason, no fancy durly bits, or carry on, just a functionaly rwd car, which is why the look so good! (but still ugly)
