PISA Artero

Another kit from Phoenix International Sport Automobiles (or PISA), they claim the Artero is "a unique exotic sports car designed by PISA". In other words, it's a slightly squashed looking Lamborghini Diablo knock-off.

ZR1/2

GM has been milling around with the idea of a mid-engine Corvette for over a quarter century or so now. I'm not sure if a mildly disguised Fiero was what they were thinking, however. Also - I'm not sure if you could find an actual 1992-1996 Corvette for the price of a Fiero and the kit - and it would be a REAL Corvette. Regardless, this kit is available from Phoenix International Sport Automobiles.

Honda Accord Coupe, Mullet Edition

Looks like Billy-Bob traded in his 1982 Camaro for the dependability of a new Honda.

BMVW

If the BMW kidney grilles are held in by zip ties, it's a sure sign that you're looking at the real deal.

It saddens me that I'm finding all of these unfortunate BMWs lately. This one appears to have been upholstered by someone's grandmother in lime green fabric from floor to ceiling. I'd guess it were a joke if not for the star-burst shaped piece of wood screwed to the door panel fitted with a ghetto speaker replacement. Looks a bit too permanent for a prank.

Draggin' Wagon

Not sure what this is, but I'm pretty sure what it ain't - pretty. I'm guessing this is an Opel or something similar. Not from this side of the pond anyway.

Shelby Garder Snake?

In the 80's Carroll Shelby helped Dodge turns some humdrum products into something not quite so humdrum. Now it appears he's working in the Eastern Bloc as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is a Lada. Although I have to say, the front end is quite an impressive conversion, given the working material. Still not exactly a looker though. Also - how would this fool anyone if they look further than a straight on front end view?

Split Personality

Want to make your Murano look like the result of the drunken union of a Mazda CX9 and a Porsche Cayenne Turbo? Then this is the kit for you.

Pontiac G6 GXP

I thought for sure I had posted this previously, hence the reference in my last post. However, this car came out while my site was in limbo. Since it's one of the ugliest cars ever to be sold new from the dealer, I guess I had assumed I posted it when it came out.

The GXP was Pontiac's attempt at an inhouse tuner car, available as a coupe or a sedan. The result, at least in style, was trying way too hard - not unlike aging washed up celebrities going overboard with the plastic surgery. The main offender - other than the card table of a spoiler available along with hood scoops on the "Street Edition" - was it's enlongated grille that gave the car a Bugs Bunny buck-toothed grin.

Hartge BMW 645Ci 5.1

Yikes. While the regular 6-Series isn't the prettiest car ever to be branded with the blue propeller, this beastly bucktoothed bodykit from Hartge makes the Pontiac G6 GXP look like a piece of artwork.
