Chery Faira is disgustingly cute.

Behold the 3 and 5 door versions of Chery's Faira sedan.  They basically look like rolling emoticons.  I feel like I'm getting diabetes just looking at them, they're so sweet.  The 5 door below is even more so, kinda looking like a Mazda 2 with the cuteness turned up to 11.  The dimples from it's smile are even poking into the lower edges of the headlights.

Zagadon't

Zagato is one of those styling firms that has a few misses in the past, but in my eyes they've had more misses than hits in recent memory.  Take these two blobby and almost identical rebodies - the 2006 Ferrari 575 GTZ and the 2008 Bently Continental GTZ.

More Zombie Packards

It appears that these neoclassic Packards just won't die, regardless of how hideous they are.  I've found yet another Bayliff Packard, and it looks substantially different from the last Crown Vic one I posted.  Also lucky enough this time around to have multiple views, including the interior which features a gigantic steering wheel emblem that I presume is the size it is to make up for the lack of other interior upgrades.

 And if that wasn't bad enough, it seems the luxury coupe is susceptible to the Packard virus, as witnessed by the unfortunate Mercury Cougar below.

Defugging the RDX

I haven't really stated on this blog before how fond I wasn't of the first generation Acura RDX, other than posting some of it's resemblance the the X6 M.  It's leering chrome beak on later models and squinty headlights mounted high on it's front end always looked off to me, not mention the tiered inlets in the bumper of the pre-facelift model.  It kind of looked like it was gasping...

2007

However Acura has finally given it a full redesign and it's been completely defugged and looking like a mini MDX (although some would argue anything with that grille is always slightly fugly). Unfortunately, Acura decided to remove the turbo 4 cylinder engine and SH-AWD with the fugliness so it's unsure if it will be as much of a hoot to drive.
