And People Think The New Rams Are Ugly

[commando1]

Yeah but even Fords aren't that ugly! Where's the puking emoji?

You want to rethink that?

I read the article in Motor Trend on this truck. Seems the design team wanted to give it an industrial look, “like industrial equipment”, they said. So which piece of industrial equipment do you think it looks like?

They should shut down the truck plant before they put that red headed stepchild out on the market.

Uh yeah I just might maybe possibly have to do that.

The Ford looks like an electric shaver

The 2019 Ram HD looks a lot better

Even the industrial look ones are better, not perfect, but better than the Chevy

Here's their inspiration:

DeSoto made it much better, IMO. BTW, the Cebbie is going into production for 2020.

Here is the car that is considered (in Europe) to be the ugliest ever built.
The Fiat Multipla

Hmm.... gotta say not a fan of this one either, but it may have looked like everything else in the era so it fit right in? retro-mods/rodded out kinda cool tho to me.

 

[mr. fix it]

Yup.. AMC Matador .. think it stayed this way through 1977(?). another face for radio. i wasnt a fan.

btw. the "Cassin" Matadors are in the link too. another like it/hate it design for some people

My brothers had the cop car versions of these.
Cheap auction cars after a couple of years of service with the force.

Amazinblue82, the Matador sedan and coupe were in production in 78.

Truck design is off the rails. What Ram did in 2010 (specifically 2500 and up) is going to be hard to beat for me ... I just loved them the minute I saw them. Too bad a maple tree fell on mine.

I knew this new Chevy look familiar I couldn't put my finger on it until now.

Seems like Ram introduces a new "limited edition" model every three weeks now. And each model gets a new grill. Wtf?? How many times can you keep showing up with your "new" girlfriend when she's really your last one with different lipstick?

The GMC "Blue Chip" generation pickups have been compared to the face of a bulldog. I agree that they look okay under certain circumstances.

Inspirations for the 2020 Silverado 2500 front end though?

Until you get a glimpse of the new HD Chevy Silverado's. It hurts my eyes!

Indeed, pass the "eye bleach," please!

Nonetheless, so far nothing tops the newest Lexus LS500, at least to my sore eyes. A few of its ToyoLex siblings come close, however. A month ago, a new Corolla came close to pulling in front of the school bus I was driving: "Hey, you, STOP or your car's front end is gonna get improved!"

IIRC, when I saw press photos of the new Ram, I promptly bought a Powerball ticket.
