is that the most ugly car ever made???? just saw it on top gear.....ive only ever seen the nascar body shapes (which all look the same, but still pretty cool), and seeing the road going version i was amazed by how little it looked like the racing car. The road car sure is damn ugly (each to his own and everything). Do people buy them thinking theyre getting race tuned cars??? pez would rather buy italian.....

You should have seen them circa 1979. Especially a pale yellow one with white vinyl interior like my aunt had.

I had a 1970 Chevelle SS396 that was gold with a sparkly deep green ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

But on the other hand, the mid 80's Monte SS's were hot little units, as was the 85 Buick GN, like the one parked in my garage :) *Sigh*, I miss Bobby Allison driving that Miller High Life Buick. Oh, and you think the new Monte's are ugly? Take a look at the new Taurus. The ass on that thing is bigger than my ex-wife's. Todd On Thu, 20 Jan 2000 23:20:22 -0500, "daxe"

>is that the most ugly car ever made???? No, I think that would be a toss-up between the BMW 2002, Toyota Echo (?), Ford Focus, Ford Fiesta. BTW, you can make damn near ANY car ugly by painting the wrong color (okay, maybe not a Viper, but you know what I mean)! Gunner

I have to disagree with the statement about the SS Monte's of the 80's, looked good, yes, ran good, umm no, at least my fastback (GMs answer to the Melling Ford T-Bird...) didn't till I put in a 427 :) That weak 305 was a travesty in those big cars, now that turbo 4.3 in your GN, a different story entirely. I remember a Hot Rod Mag story in the mid 80's where they did their 0-100-0 shootout and the GNX finished like tied with a 'Vette for 2nd (due to GNs acceleration and Vettes ABS) as I recall an old Cobra (Shelby, that is) won by hitting 100 in 2nd gear... Anyway, the new Monte's look good coming, but going, sheesh, what the hell is up with that rearend? edb

Come now, the Bimmer is a classic shape! Surely you mean the Renault Fuego!
