I'm not saying I want one, but I've seen enough of them in person to not be offended by them.

I'm almost afraid to admit that I kind of love this. But, I'd leave it just the way it is and power it with a big, smokey diesel.

I don't see anything wrong with this. And I don't think it's trying to be anything other than itself.

You really think this qualifies as an "abomination?"

Yes, ugly, but definitely not the ugliest.

Bring up a rear-view of an E-type and compare...Aside from the fact that they both have round-ish rear ends, EVERYTHING is different.

The Ogle's rear window is much larger relative the rest of the car.

The Ogle has a character line down the side.

The Jag has a coke-bottle body shape.

The Jag has horizontal rear bumpers.

The Ogle's rear tail lights are faired into the side of the body.

The Jags rear 1/4 window has a rounded trailing edge.

And. I. Don't. Know. What. To. Say.

The Manta Ray is the quintessential blending of 50's and 60's Bertone and Michelotti concept and production designs, a concept car for the street.

"Quintessential" - Yeah. At least the 5th ugliest.

When I first glanced at this wannabe 928 I thought the sign on the door said "testes." Not that it would be far off, because this car looks like balls. What the hell is it based off of?

Oh my god, I think it's a Chevette

Knockoff of an MGBGT maybe. No way do I see any E-Type. I like it.

Really? The split little chrome bumpers, the funky horizontal tail lights, etc. It's not exact just like the other cars in this thread aren't. It's a pint size homage to it. Let's see if this hot link works:

There is one of these abominations for sale just down the street from the GRM office. It nearly caused me to lose my lunch.

I actually don't mind that front clip. I wouldn't buy it but it doesn't make me puke. Would need a completely different rear clip though.
