Ugly????????????? I would buy one tomorrow. (maybe lose the green headrests)
|
Kan you say "Outbak Sport Wagon" !!!!!
Not bad, but the stayling needs a little cleaning up. |
Pretty cool concept....REALLY ugly taillights.....
|
Gotta love the deer whistle taillights inside the rear window.
|
A Subaru with a better looking front end than backside; that's a switch.
dcb |
i just noticed something - what is the texture on some of the interior pieces? faux alligator skin? :eek:
it needs a fur dashboard, too. |
That thing needs a tailgate! You'll never get anything in the back of that thing. Other than that and the green (WTF) I don't mind it.
hehe, it's a hybrid hybrid. |
Sign me up!
(without the green interior though) Looks like something original for a change... |
wow, so many of you LIKE the way this thing looks?!?!?!?
its looks like it would be driven by a soccer mom in the movie Blade Runner. |
It has potential...
|
I like it, but the greens gotta go. And those back seats don't look very comfortable to me. Needs more refining.
