    Acura TL - Yes, the new one is terrible. There is a way to help though. Just paint the Acura "shield"


    BMW 5 - Really like the new M5 so I'll disagree
    Chrysler Sebring - Hate both too much to care.
    Dodge Viper - I like the new one. I adore the old one.
    Infiniti FX - Both ok.
    Lincoln Navigator - the new one is fail.
    Nissan Murano - the new one is like an ugly roach.
    Saab 9-5 - I don't mind that front. Saab needs to stand out.
    Scion xB - especially when compared to the Japanese second gen Bb, we got the short end of the stick.
    VW Jetta - I like the new one better.

    The bimmer and Viper I think look better now, the rest shouldn't have been changed. ESPECIALLY THE ACURA

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    The only ones I disagree with on are the SAAB 9-5 (Yea yea, call me a fanboy) and the Dodge Viper...I don't think the new one looks better, but it certainly doesn't look worse.

    Acura TL: Looks like all new butt cheese
    BMW 5: I didn't see M3 so it might as well be an Accord as far as I'm concerned.
    Chrysler Sebring: The sedan looks like a Camry or Corolla or some other homogineous car that blends in to society's roadways.
    Dodge Viper: There's no such thing as an "ugly" dodge Viper. Two things that they don't come in are "ugly" and "slow".
    Infiniti FX: They both look like engorged penises. I'm not really sure if you can have a "worse" in that category.
    Lincoln Navigator: One is an L and the other one is not. Neither are vehicles I like so I can't really say one is uglier. The new one looks more "Ford"-ish.
    Nissan Murano: Didn't I just see this car up there with the Infinity?
    Saab 9-5: REALLY? I just thought pretentious suburbanites just kept recycling these cars amoungst themselves. I wasn't aware that they actually made new ones.
    Scion xB: How do you fuck up a box? It's a box.
    VW Jetta: The jetta used to look like a Passat. Now it looks like a Jetta. I guess if you wanted a Passat and couldn't afford one, then...well...now everyone knows you got a Jetta.

    By that logic, the FX doesn't count since it went FX45 to FX50. It's still the same model...the Infiniti G.

    I think the Honda Accord should be up there. The previous one was inoffensive...nothing flashy, but nothing ugly. The new one looks awful up front. The new Lexus GS looks pretty bad too, I think. The new Cayenne is even worse than the old one. I'm sure I'll think of more.

    The new Mini looks bloated to me too...I'm not comparing it to the original Mini, but you know...the two newer ones. I understand however, that they had to redesign it as per new EU regulations about the height from the top of the engine to the bottom of the hood.

    I like this...


    ...better than this.


    Oddly enough, I really like the new Mini Clubman.
