Beautiful and Strange Old Cars

Almost all modern car fronts are ugly today. And I say almost because there are these cars:

When I first saw it it looked strange to me, not as much as Multipla but strange enough. It can also be considered old now that production stopped. It is the car of my heart, a VW Beetle and Camper of the 21st century, the car I'm not ready to separate from after more than 10 years of everyday use in every condition and enviroment. It's the Hyundai Matrix, also known as Lavita or Elantra Lavita in other continents. Luxury and comfort for the masses.

An urban toy that loves highways and carried for me refrigarators, couches, telescopes, the whole family with suitcases and everything I asked. After more than ten years and more than 100000 kms nothing broke. The other MPVs I considered vanished from our roads (Iike the Renault Scenic, and I understand why since my previous car was a Renault) but one can see thousands of Matrices around in Athens and other European cities I visited (they serve also as Taxis there but here most Taxis are Mercedes and Skoda). I'm not prepared to change it, unless the i20x with Diesel motor is sold here. Here's Nio, my car.

Yeah, the Cherokee is kind of odd isn't it.

Problem is,Alfa spent so much time one the front,the back ends all look like they were hit with the ugly stick!

Hahahaha but that's the Alfa trademark. Get things really close to perfect, but leave an unmistakable fault.

The new Cherokee certainly is ugly. IMO it's right up there with the Pontiac Asscrack in the other pictures.......

The worst part is that the old Cherokee is one of the most iconic Jeeps ever made, and now the heritage is ruined.

Have been busy, but found time to visit the Geneva Car Show. There were many classic cars and my all time favorite (Just can't help myself):

Fiat 500

I also found Batmans other car (probably painted by Mr. Stark)
Yay and its a Siwss car, manufactured by Sbarro

US Austin American Bantam 1938

The model that in inspired Donald Duck's famous 313!

Image didn't work so new ones here

I had this car in my car but it broke.

Now I have Skrooge McDuck driving a Porsche 356 stuck under the windshield. I put it there when my kids were little but I like it and it stayed there for 11 years. I should image a SAK with it to post here. I didn't find it in the net, although they sell other models.

I didn't see a 240z here. I don't think you can get much better looking than a nice one of these...

Something like that on the internet normally has to come with an age warning.

Reminds me a bit of the episode of Classic Car Rescue that I saw with a Delorian DMC-12... Someone had painted it red and put very Ferrari like 5 spoke rims on it... seems like the door wedge car design was very popular in that era!

That's so many degrees of wrong going on right there...
