Mitsubishi e-compact Concept


Mentioning this car not because it’s ugly necessarily, but because it’s completely devoid of any resemblance of style. It almost looks like someone took a Ford Fiesta and removed all the interesting design cues to create one of those unbranded generic any-cars you see in advertising. Combined with a boring and forgetful name, I doubt anyone will remember this concept next week, let alone in years to come.

Gumbert Torante

Finally, Gumbert is introducing a new sports car that actually looks pretty. For the most part. Around back things start to fall apart, as it has an almost industrial appliance type of look with taillights that look oddly like bar-code scanners lifted from a grocery store.

Paging Elton John



Besides having a horrible that seems to have little to do with anything, Mini's new Rocketman concept for the 2011 Geneva Autoshow is an ugly little beast. What's more, the looks aren't even that original, resembling a shortened version of the equally ugly Citroen C-Cactus concept from 2007.
