That Lagonda is unbelievably ugly. It must have been designed by a man who only had a ruler.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I really like these

 

[weltweit]

Sexy isn't the word I'd use for it, but I like the Volvo 240's lines. It looks dignified; purposeful; completely unpretentious. I'm still sorely tempted to go looking for a good one, as a usable classic car.

I never liked the 700 series so much. It looks awkward, as if it's trying to be an American sedan and not quite making the grade.

Another box that's pretty much completely vanished from the UK's roads:

Not that it's a favourite in any sense. I drove a nearly new one in the mid-1990s: it made my old MkII Ford Escort feel modern.

He said "boxy", not "poxy".

 

[The Groke]

I really like these

I didn't know they existed until I moved to NZ - they are quite popular Japanese imports here...

I quite like them too!

you know what, If I was working and all that shit and wanted a lol car for cruising the streets of SE London , I would seriously consider get one of these. I remember back in teh 80s/early90s it was virtually impossible to get s/h spares for them as every trashed Lada was stripped and take off to either USSR/Russia on trawlers or to Jamaica

 

[not-bono-ever]

not boxy enough- the 80 saloon was proper boxy, like a childs drawing of a car

 

[Sigmund Fraud]

Half of these above are not proper boxy

Simca 1000

Moskovitch

Suzuki Wagon R

 

[sleaterkinney]

Before we got one of these I thought all cars broke down all the time.
