Anyone else think that cardboard model is butt ugly?! It looks like an Enzo that got squished between two parked cars.

Ya gotta like those two pointless slits on the sides, above the rear wheels.

Hey, you can't blame the guy... he just wanted to get back out and keep kicking everyone's ass.

Although the spy shot is very strange, I still think this car is pretty damn good looking. Maybe it's just because every car that comes out seems to be bigger than the model before (when did the Accord become a full-on land yacht?!), and this little guy is starting out small and tidy.

Pretty damn lackluster.

I still say the Skyline would be a bigger hell for numerous reasons, not the least of which is the California DMV.

I saw this thing coming up in the far left lane during rush hour in Cleveland, and lost track of the slow-moving traffic in front of me as I stared at it. A very strange sight on the road, especially because the driver sits up so high. I can't imagine it's much fun to drive, but it did appear to have pretty decent…

I don't think Bugs in general are great competitors for PCH because you can customize them and upgrade them in more ways than probably any other vehicle. A Peugeot that is about as rally-bred as a 1995 Ford Taurus and where parts will be largely non-existent? Now THAT is project car hell.

@brandegee: I believe you're right, because I live in CA, and for reasons I can't explain, I would much rather have a MGB GT or Triumph GT6 versus their soft-top counterparts. They just look way cooler.

This is really a toughie. The price of the Beetle just outright angers me, but the rusted cylinders in the Peugeot suggest it's the more daunting of the two.

Wow, all it takes is a few hundred pounds worth of extra panels and props to make a Mustang look pretty cool!

@theeastbaykid: I tend to agree. In fact, if someone had a MINT Chevette with low miles, I would probably think that was cooler than a new, stock Corvette.

The side view is still pretty fly, but come on... that grille and headlight combo looks just like a Focus. If you roll up behind someone on the freeway, they're not getting out of the way for just another lame Ford!

I think Clarkson said, "if you drive a C6, people will think you're an assassin," and now that's more true than ever.

I knew a girl who used to routinely say "I've got my Vette out back," and would eventually admit it was a CHEvette.

That Merc doesn't really look so terrible, other than fashioning your own replacement dashboard and patching some body work.

That thing is BUTT ugly, pun intended. It's the inbred, disfigured offspring of a hot rod built in an Arkansas garage.

Let's not forget that blue speck, even further into the background there. I'm gonna say Ferrari 575.

It could just be the lighting, but judging by the color of the Civic's headers, that thing's been taking a beating!

Anyone notice that last week in Turkey, Lewis and Heikki were missing the Johnnie Walker logo? Instead, they were sporting the parent company's logo: Diageo.
