    Being different for the sake of being different often results in oddness such as this.

    Trying too hard to be different is a design faux pah.

    If I walked into that auto expo with a gun, the designer of this car would be the first to go.

    Absolute disservice to the Lagonda name.

    The Wedge was unusual, but not hideous. They even had the shaded line drawings to guide their way and they got nowhere near those - if they had it may have gone close to working.

    Have to disagree. One of THE ugliest cars I've ever seen in real life AND in photos.


    There are strong parallels. The "wedge" was an extreme take on what all car designers were doing at the time. This seems to do the same with huge deep gaping grille ( Audi ), slab-side ( Chrisyler 300 ), tiny windows ( Alfa, Opel et al ) and ugly rear end ( Bangle-BMWs )

    It kind of looks like the hybrid bastard lovechild of a Lincoln MK T and an Audi Q7.

    Urgh, that's just the generic rubbish that we don't want. Why not look back to the beautiful Lagonda Le Mans racers of the past for inspiration, not just taking the fashionable chrome and lard, then blinging it up.

    The wedge is cool, this thing is just horrid. Also, making something that's sort of squat and SUVish in this day of 'omfg suvs are bad mmkay' seems an odd idea. Still, it takes all sorts I suppose..

    ehm, no thank you, I have had enough rubbish for today.
    it's quite hideous, it's disproportioned, it's the usual stuff you would expect from BMW and Audi, with a bit of Toyota (the Bat pick-up). definitely not good looking or even worth the name.
