Infiniti QX56



Freshly leaked onto the internet, the 2011 Infiniti QX56 replaces the last QX's blocky, slightly boring look with this new hideously swoopy version. Sadly, in the process it removes unique and interesting details, like the C-pillar rear door handles and the gentle arch to the tops of the rear doors, and replaces them with a pretty generic midsection. Up front the previous slab-like headlights and grille have been replaced with units looking like these ripped from a M45. Not exactly elegant, as the bulging hood above gives the truck a slightly neanderthal look. And those fender vents looks suspiciously like those you can buy in bulk at Wal-Mart.

Hoarded Ram

I think there's more chrome than paint now...

WRX Suicide


This WRX appears to be in some kind of identity crisis, in which it thinks it's a 60's era Lincoln Continental lowrider.

Chrackard

One can only hope this Packard-ified 300 is a one time only deal. And people thought the Packardbakers were ugly...

Mini Cobra


I guess you really can't get much more literal than the title.

ECTO-11



The Ghost Busters, 11 years later (this is a '70 Caddy as opposed to a '59).

I think it's a Suzuki...


Apparently they were going for a deep sea creature look on the outside, and a Shar Pei look on the inside.

Messcort

I'm green with envy. Did I type envy? I meant nausea. Love the Kermit pelt interior.

SV 9 Competizione

"A Corvette, a Ferrari Scaglietti and an Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione walked into a bar..."

Le Crap



Fake Renault 5 Turbo anyone? Not sure what the acronym UFAC stands for, but google seems to think it's "Upholstered Furniture Action Council". Sounds about right.
