[QUOTE=McLareN]Take a look at this.
It's a Packard Hawk...[/QUOTE]
You'd be surprised how many design awards it won in the early 50's when Raymond Loewy's design first came out on the Studebakers. I'd have to say IMHO it's a very classy design.
I have to say though that it did work slightly better with the more uncluttered lines of the Stude, though...

Indeed when Stud took over Packard at the end of the fifties they had little ideas what to do with the brand, so they compromised their own car. Not such a good idea.

Pretty much!! a shame about packard, they really did put out some nice cars...

Worthy candidates all. But I can't think of anything more horrific than the Aztek. Hard to believe the same guy did the C6.

How about this piece of crap they tried to sell to us in OZ :D It looks like it has melted :eek: :)
-
Don't forget, they sold heaps of those in the U.S, and you can thank a Ford Executive for saying to Import it only as a Niche car, rather than to replace the falcon with it. He lost his job for that analysis, but he saved the Falcon.

call me weird, but...i sorta like those Taurus ones with the fluid styling...*shrugs*
Oh, and i thought of another one that should be added: fiat multipla

Taurus ;) is it's name and it might have saved the Falcon but it's style unfortunately rubbed off on the AU so we won't get that hideous styling off our roads for a while :(
-
Taurus was part of the Fluid style Ford Design Phase, Falcon Was New Edge. Very different looking, though equally bad looking, cars.
-
Th designer of the Aztec hated the design himself, but thats what pontiac was asking for,

Well any 'Bangle Designed' BMW belongs here. I think they are the most hideous cars I have ever seen. At least I won't be seeing any Aztecs in the UK, but these shit-heaps of BMWs are starting to flock the UK streets. :(

Bangle designed the Z8, he hasn't designed a car in five years.
