Jettillac


This is the worst piece of automotive disaster I have seen in a long time. I'm not too huge of a fan of the Cadillac CTS in the first place, but especially not when skinned and stuck on the front of a Jetta. Ironically, I just watched "The Silence of the Lambs" yesterday, and this hack job reminds me of that scene where Lector cuts off that guys face and wears it for a bit to fool the police. This Jetta owner is possibly also trying to fool the police, and the results are equally horrifying.



Not content to simply combine two completely clashing car designs, extras were added - like those little things above the headlights. Are they laser guided? Maybe there's hidden guns for drive-bys...



Other touches include X-treme panel gap above the Cadillac grille, and front bumpers that point to the ground. Also note the VW logo in Cadillac wreath. Bottom pic is the car at it's best, with wider rims to fill out the wide-body bodywork.
