Another vehicle that I'm normally not into, vastly improved in my eyes.

Then things get a little out of hand.

That is at the top my all time ugly list, only followed by the Aztec. Even lifted, that is one ugly vehicle.... period! :( :2cents:

Without the two-tone plastic job, I don't find them offensive at all, but the plastic fenders ruins them for me.

Still no match for the Aztec for sheer ugliness though! ;)

Though I agree, your comment reminded me of the XKCD comic:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :wink:

While it may not be what we would do or like,
they may look at the Liberty and say the same thing. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
As long as they are going out and having a good time what the heck! :pepper: :BANANA:

They are ugly though , but from what I read very handy to haul stuff in

You haven't seen the Nissan Cube in person yet have you?
I thought Elements, Scion Xbox and even MB GL500 were ugly...till this came out.

Hmm... Not saying it looks good, but... oh okay it's kinda cute from behind! Heheh

I've just never understood how something that looks like the Aztek could get made, and that people would buy it... it looks like it was designed by a committee of blind monkeys.

But that's just my opinion :)

I like the Kia, they are cheap enough to have as a good commuter vehicle. Good gas mileage, roomy and not too ugly.

Let me just say...I love my 2010 Element. Traded in my '05 Element for the '08 Liberty. Traded in my '08 Liberty for a 2010 Element. Liberty had way too many problems crop up, and I just didn't feel it was going to be reliable enough... nice looking vehicle, but major issues. Now I have a new Element and I am really enjoying it. And my dog loves it!!!! I think it's the best little niche car out there today.

Hate to say it... wait no, I don't. I like the Soul! Only in red, with every option they list. But in that setup, I think it's great. I don't know how they drive, but the looks are ten times better than all the other weirdo-econo-boxes before it.

Just my :2cents:
