How pig ugly can a car possibly look? The green rear quarter view is not bad but the front of the red one...

It reminded me immediately of the ugliness of a Fiat Multipla Laughing

Interesting...if only the guys who photoshopped this together from all the different car parts got the perspectives right it may look ok!

The Defender was hardly pretty though - a rectangular box with flat glass on a chassis. I think its a good attempt at maintaining the essential "ugliness" of the Defender in a modern design - repairable in the field hopefully. People seem to want a next generation Defender style utility vehicle - Id buy one as it will be essential in the future as the UK's roads deteriorate further. Laughing Jules

Defender "hardly pretty" - Jules, wash your mouth out with soap forthwith! It's classically beautiful in a simple, functional and timeless way. Rather like myself, in fact............... Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto
Tricia's - 2006 Royal Blue Beetle Cabriolet Auto
Mine - 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport Matt Black
Ours - 2007 White Bailey Pageant Champagne
