You know, it's funny how someone always steps up and says, "But I LIKE it!"

I used to like a particular Citroen model, too, and the Insight looks kinda like it...but not as fluid. Thank goodness they've changed the Insight since that first bizarre attempt! I wish you luck in buying one! Someone else here must like them too, b/c it's his avatar photo.

I think it looks better like that. But not much. At least it looks more like a car and not like it's trying to be an Explorer or something.

Agree that gen of the Tiburon is ugly as sin, at least they redesigned and it made it look 100x better.

The FX grows on you after a while, I know it did for me. After driving one as a rental for a few days it grew on me even more. That lowered one looks terrible though.

I saw my first 09 on the road the other day, and while initially I was not a huge fan of the style, after seeing it I am even LESS of a fan, did not look good moving down the road to me at all.

i rolled into work and saw an 09 fit and i had to second guess if i rolled into the wrong dealership..."why is there a brand new chevy aveo on our lot?" the 09 deserves a limpwrist decal down the side of it...

I like it now alot more than when it was in production. There is a lady that attends my church who drives a silver Insight - always imaculately clean and looks to be very well cared for. It really is a strange looking car though - reminds me of the Citroen. Still.....very cool .

I think the Subaru B9 Tribeca belongs right up there with the Aztek. I always thought Pontiac was trying to make a HUGE deformed CRX when they made the Aztek with it's back window...

Id take the Gremlin over the Honda Matrix.
Its pretty horrible.

The ONLY ones that look good to me are the JDM bases. I cant get past the horrible lip kit thats added.
