What Should I Buy? - UGLY Cars

from BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Variety Show · host Gran Touring Motorsports

In this lively and humorous discussion, the panel of Petrolheads gather to debate what they consider to be the ugliest cars of all time. Hosts Brad and Eric set unique shopping criteria and are challenged to find the most unattractive vehicles that one might buy to shock friends at the next 'Cars & Coffee' event. They delve into various categories of unsightly automobiles, including historically notorious models like the Pontiac Aztek, AMC Pacer, and Chrysler PT Cruiser, among others. A highlight of the debate is the presentation on the 1957 Aurora Safety Car, deemed the ugliest car ever built. The panel also critiques modern design failures, such as the Cybertruck and various French and Soviet block vehicles. The discussion covers both exterior looks and some interior design travesties, touching on the concept that while looks matter, functionality remains a key consideration for many car buyers. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Introduction and Panel Setup; Defining Ugly Cars 01:17 Ugliest Cars Discussion Begins 03:17 PowerPoint Presentation on Ugly Cars 04:57 Debate on Specific Ugly Models 10:41 Ferrari Mondial T and Other Italian Disasters 26:21 Soviet Block Cars and Their Design 28:49 French Cars: The Epitome of Ugly 31:44 Matt's Departure and Citroen SM Discussion 32:07 Dr. Seuss and the Citroen DS 33:01 French Cars and Arrogance 33:48 Fish-like Cars and the Stutz Bearcat 36:51 The Ugly Truth About the MR2 TTE 41:10 Fiat Multipla and Other Design Disasters 46:21 Volvo Safety Car and Pedestrian Safety 54:39 The Ugliest Car Ever: 1957 Aurora Safety Car 59:36 Final Thoughts and Outro ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/gtmotorsports Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/
