Morgan Aero 8

The Morgan Aero 8 is one of the world's truly astonishingly ugly stock vehicles. And it's quite ridiculous as a racing car. This odd combination of 1930's style and modern aerodynamics looks like something Hot Wheels would come up with...and this type of thing should have been left to the world of 97-cent toys. I always say, to each their own...but for me I think I would rather walk.

ok, you can have your opinion but i think its completely wrong.. morgans are styled so differently from every other car that you just gotta give them credit for being being a bit outrageous and individual. Cars are like women, (i don't mean to offend anyone), there are some that are showy but at the same time very restrained (like models) and try to fit in all the time, much like ferraris, porches and lamborghinis.. those cars get boring. then theres the cars and women who arent afraid to be what they want to be, like morgans. And wtf? "it's quite ridiculous as a racing car." if your gonna rip into something, at least know what your talking about mate.. look at the vids at the bottom of this page,

they give the aston martins a run for their money.. well actually beating them.. well actually coming first.
And feel free to walk, but ill be do 0-100 kph in 4.5 secs and sitting in leather luxury while your walking.. pretty stupid thing to say.

p.s. you drive a people mover..

Truly disgusting!
The original is actually Boss-eyed!
They fixed this (sort-of) later on.
You have to wonder what they were smoking when they designed this. Should have gone to Specsavers!

Someone must be buying them, though, have you seen how much they go for?
