What do you think is the worst "retro" car?
It seems that almost every company is bringing back their older models, well they've been making most cars on and off any ways. But my question is, what is the worst retro/remake car?

I think that the Ford Fairlane concept is the worst, just because it is nothing like the original. The new Fairlane is more of an SUV while the original was a muscle car, how does this happen? The car isn't that ugly, it is just not a fairlane.

here are some pics

Mercedes SLR. they tried to copy too much design details from the gullwing. This causes the design to not be balanced and make it look very ugly IMO.

yes, the SLR is not retro, it is just ugly.

The HHR is ugly as sin, and so is the VW beetle, but the best I have seen was the Buick Blackhawk concept....that car was sex on wheels and rumored to have a 396 BB

Actually AMG has said the design will not be retro, but that they will use gullwing doors.

Then the chops on magazines miss the mark by miles.
