A Slice Of American Pie: Pt 1 - CarsEdit: I actually meant to put this in the main SEGA blog… oh well… Right as I’m now back its time to start writing t3h blogs again and whatnot about other things. As you may know I’ve recently been on holiday from you lot for two weeks loafing around America and many things I saw that were filed away under “this can be blogged about when you get back”. I won’t bore you with the initial details, but due to accidents, closed bridges and mass transit crisies when I finally got through customs after convincing them that I wasn’t bringing in any illegal substances or had any plans to let loose any new kinds of wildlife I was subjected to a further 5 hours plus wait at the airport before I was picked up. On the way back we were passed by a car and couldn’t believe how hideous it was, I mean a true masterclass of ugly. Now as it was pretty dark and gloomy we couldn’t make out its name but we were so intregued we actually hunted it along the freeway, trying to get close enough to make out the name of this behemoth. And it was this - the Dodge Nitro SXT!
Seriously apologies if you own one but my goodness me what a ghastly looking car (imo), its basically a pick-up thats been turned into a 4×4. It was entirely white including the bumpers, which excenuated the lines at the back (they looked like the designer had sneezed whilst using a ruler) and we actually couldn’t think of any car that looks worse. We were slightly worried the next day though when white Dodge Nitro SXTs started following us around the place… seriously. 0_0* Of course if we ever make a new Daytona or Rally you can now pretty much gauarantee it’ll be in there to haunt me. Anyway - do you know of a worse looking car? I’m genuinely interested if you can.

It’s like an Helicopter on wheels minus the rotors. .

All cars in america for some reason have to be big and fat.

Let’s see butt ugly cars…
The FIAT Multipla is perhaps the single worst car design-wise I can think of.
It looks like somebody combined the top and the bottom of two completely different cars.

Seriously what is this? The top looks like a part that was salvaged from a bus and glued on.
I’m also not too crazy about FIAT Uno either…
But not for design, security. A collegue bud of mine got his parked car stolen twice.

Actually, speaking as an American, there’s been a move away from that type/size of monstrosity recently. But yeah, quite dreadful looking. The way the wheel wells jut out make it look like a little boy that’s eaten too much cake.

Perhaps Americans like polluting the atmosphere.

You mean SUV’s?
Those vehicles are actually pretty efficient, contrary to popular belief.

Anyway, ugly cars…
The Buick Roadmaster Stationwagon’s faux-wood design is just…
Seriously I know here are some really bad cars, but all just pale in comparison to that FIAT vehicle.

I can imagine it now… Duel 2, starring ArchangelUK being chased by a raving Dodge Nitro SXT! It’ll sell millions, I tell ye.
AAUK Sez: Bazillions Svenny-boy. Bazillions!

Yeah, the Nitro is pretty ugly. I think it’s supposed to look “tough” or something. A lot of American-designed cars seem to be a bit behind the style curve, unfortunately (speaking as an American).
