Get's voted worst looking car for 2005

Top Gear December 27, 2005

Shocked me - for a beemer I think they are quite nice.

For instance, this is (f)ugly!:

That looks like the pontiac aztec....Ugly as sin though

If if went like a rocket and handled like an Lotus Elise and got the mileage of a VW Lupo and was reliable as a rock,,,,I am not sure I could over come the "UG - LY factor".

I guess I'm the minority, i like it, looks like it has a purpose just sitting still

And that purpose is .... ? Scaring horses? Providing useful employment for car-crushers? What on earth was the designer smoking?!

Obviously built to give Rover 25 Streetwise owners an upgrade path.

What substance are car stylists abusing ?

Looks like my father inlaws rover

The new 3 series looks crap - as does any current beemer excluding the six.

Im my view, the best looking 3 beemer was the one before last - I had a W reg one. The 'facelift' one thats just been replaced (i had an 04) was OK but had a more blunted look.

The current model just looks like a block of butter that someones slashed at with a knife.


Dont take top gear seriously - they talk boolocks most of the time. Something one of them likes one week is hated by same person the following week.

Its contrived entertainment - no where near as spontaneous as we are expected to believe.
