To give Volga some credit, at least this car looks different. Those of you who watched "The Bourne Supremacy" saw Matt Damon driving this car's sibling - the Volga 3110. If you were unsure what year that car was made in, you can be forgiven. Although the front and rear are updated regularly, the doors and greenhouse have been basically the same for 40 years. Seems like a Russian trend...
The Volga 3111 uses the same platform and mechanical parts, but actually uses a smoother more attractive roofline (and is regarded as more upscale). Unfortunetly the front and rear styling resembles a sort of chrome insect... Up front there's a very Hyundai Sante Fe like feel with buldging front fenders. The headlights have very thick chrome rims and make the car look like a 1:18 scale model. In fact - all the features are exaggerated and toy-like. Most of which the huge round taillights which look either sad or surprised.
I suppose this car isn't hugely deserving of fugly status. I mean - it doesn't induce vomitting. But then they made a "tuner" version with a Lexus V8. But painted it an odd pattern of fuschia and yellow. Bravo.

"If it works, keep building it!" may be the motto of Volga! Which sort of reminds me of how Chrysler kept building previous generation Dodge Darts in Australia and South America for years!
As for this yellow and fuscia Volga, let's strap a 'TAXI' dome-marker on the top and let Matt Damon's Jason Bourne character drive it as spectacularly as he did with the 3110...
But THIS time let's set the chase(?) in SOUTH FLORIDA... like... someplace dangerous and risky... perhaps on a fully loaded I-95 in Fort Lauderdale... at 4:45 p.m. on a holiday-weekend-Friday!
And instead of innocent taxpayers driving their yet-to-be-paid-for-overly-mortgaged-
late-model-vehicles, let's populate the entire freeway with ALL of the FUGS you have featured HERE!!! That way, EVERYBODY WINS!!!!!!
Hey, is it just me, or does that license plate have the letters: 'BOATA' on it??? Sorry. Being Nautical again.
