Unbalanced


How exactly does one balance these wheels? The only wheels that should look like this belong inside a Citroën.

Supra Fugly

I apologize for the horrible quality, but this was snagged from the road.  Basically a late '80's Toyota Supra, modified to include a body kit with a gigantic Toyota emblem grille and - confusingly - Nissan 350Z headlights.  I had to do a double take just to understand what I was looking it.  You would think that with the number of people that graft Toyota Celica headlights onto their abominations, that that would be the go-to headlight for ruining a Toyota.  Especially if you're faithful enough to the brand to turn the entire front end of the car into a giant Toyota logo.

Neolier




At first this looks like your typical sadly modified Neon - until you see that the back end of a Cavalier seems to have been grafted in.  Perhaps doubly ironic, the license plate says "The Import Specialist".

Honda Pilot Gets Grilling

Honda has released a picture of the upcoming 2012 Honda Pilot refreshing, but unfortunately it's very mild on the styling front.  Gone is the BBQ burner grille insert, but that's about it - it still has the same wide-eyed stare, as if it were in shock. In my humble opinion, it really needs a complete redo forward of the A pillars.  Technical details of the update haven't been released yet, but it's been said that it'll be more fuel efficient - most likely aided by more cogs in it's transmission.
