Poll: '02 Ford Thunderbird...ugly or not?

I saw the Charger concept at the Miami auto show last year and it is indeed a beautiful car! Wonder if'll ever see the light of day production wise?
 
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN, now THAT is a frigging hot car. Mixed feelings? Who in their right mind could say anything but positive about that Charger? It truly looks awesome. Back it up with a strong powerplant and it would be a rocking good time.
 
gotta disagree that the hemi C is prettier.. I hate that front end and grille with a passion. too "granny car" and not nearly enough "sports car" :disgust:
 


<< Charger owns that car NFS4, come on! >>


The Charger is BRUTISHLY good looking. I like things a little more subtle. And notice that I said &quot;prettier.&quot; The Charger is by no means pretty 😉
 
I personally like this car. Nothing too exagerated, nothing too flashy, and looks elegant yet sporty. The front headlights remind me of a Porche, but the grill and hood are rather unique. The hardtop is ugly, I'll admit, making it look like a two-door Lincoln, and the tailend is a little long, but nothing too disturbing about its appearance.

Now a car I really hate is that new Lexus that they have, the SC430 or some number like that. They ripped the front from a Mercedes, jacked the top and back from Audi, and arranged it in a way that is not nearly as nice as it's competitor, the TT. Too many indents and lines and it plain looks squashed! But I always have hated the recent Lexus designs (IS300, bleh!).

What I'm looking forward to is that new Infiniti, the FX45, it's the first SUV I actually like. Also impressive is the Toyota RSC and the Mitsubishi RPM 7000, they look like they're from video games, and that's a + in my book. 🙂

The SC430 sucks goat balls. It is too big, bland, and Merecedes-derived.
 
yes, you must be crazy because it looks nothing like an fbody front end... although the Charger would be classified as a pony car along with the Camaro and Firebird.. at least I think.. not sure since the Charger has the 4-door
 
I'll tell you a Lexus that sucks is the IS 300.. looks like a factory-pre-riced out Civic with those ricey garish clear tail lights


:disgust: :|

Hey, I like the IS300...but what sucks is the '94-'97 Accords that have their tail lamps made to look like the IS300's. Damn wannabes 😀
 
btw kinda off-topic but anyone know if (rap artist) Nelly is talking about a Lexus GS300 when on track #5 he goes &quot;Shook when you see.. Nelly rollin' in the G-S-3, hangin' out the sunroof like bing-bing-bing&quot;

?

I know GS300's can be had with sunroofs, so thats what I assumed

 
Most likely...but since he's a rapper, you would think that he wouldn't be rapping about the weak GS300. It has 225 HP from an inline-6. They like those top of the line models with ugly ass 20&quot; chrome wheels and a lowered hack job.

He should have been rappin' about the big momma GS400 with 300 HP from the sweet 4.0 liter V8 😀
 
That car screams wannabe. The tin foil look for the rims was a nice touch, as was the intake scoop on the hood (oooooh sooo impressive). Someone was on a bad trip the day that monster was designed.
 
Could you imagine the kids if a Thunderbird banged an Aztek from behind? And note, I said &quot;from behind&quot; b/c no one would approach that thing from the front😀
 
I think both Chevy and Ford could make a killing in this retro phase by bringing back the 67-69 Camaro and 65 Mustang bodies. They could update the safety equipment, install EFI engines, and have them selling like hotcakes in no time.
They probably won't do it, but they should. Cars have gotten to where they all look basically alike. I liked the days when you could tell what kind of car was in front of you at night by the shape of the tail lights, and you could pretty much look in your mirror and tell what was behind you by the light configuration, too.
Can't do that now, for the most part.
