+1. Genius.

Blinker Fluid.

Also, are we really going to criticize Aston for lack of new design by comparing them to Porsche? Porsche's one of the most profitable companies in the world and they've essentially done it by tweaking a Beetle for the last 70 years. That and it's genuinely a bloody good little car. I love mine.

I think 911s, and especially the last one, are magnificent pieces of design, not so much in the late 90s-00s though.

Nor polarizing. Just widely disliked.

Aston Martin One-77. Eye-wateringly pricey and with styling as subtle as a brick to the head, it's no wonder this inspires a mixture of desire and horror.

Supercharged Range Rover. 510HP and a sub-6 0-60 time.

Yes, yes, yes.

Diesellll Scirocoooooooo.

The Fiat 124. Considering that this has been badge engineered/flat out copied all over the world it must have incurred some delightful nicknames in iterations such as:

I'm not claiming troll status. I stand by what I said. I was in disbelief at the responses and assumed they were the result of a practical joke.

+1. I don't consider this to be an adulteration of the icon at all, because the relationship between them is utterly tenuous beyond basic styling poorly interpreted. Comfort and convenience in a Defender? It's just fundamentally wrong (although I know some of the new ones are getting there).

I think it's pretty cool. I also liked the microbus concept VW had at the NY Auto Show this summer, which looks like Iron Man's school run car.

Guess what the Chrysler Pronto Cruiser from Geneva '99 became? What a godawful piece of shit. Quite possibly the worst car ever made.

Ferrari 412 from Electroma. The lads from Daft Punk in a car...from the distant future.

I rewatched this recently and I couldn't get over how battered the car was. Definitely the car of a man who regularly drives the nuts off it. Great choice.

Does that count? Movie blended together two cars, none of which you actually get to see.
