Look at it this way. If he was in any way proud to be the owner you'd think he'd get out and stand in front of it...  |

| Id forgotten all about this car (the hyundi that is) until yesterday when I went to our local Argos and pulled into a space right next to it, and there at eye level was the word Pininfarina.
It was a silver one with privacy glass all round. I walked slowly around it trying to see if it had any nice lines or angles on it, there are a couple but they are cancelled out by the rest of it being pig ugly. Anyway as I came around to the front I stepped back a little and stood there shaking my head, thats when I noticed the driver (a rather large gentleman) sitting there giving me evils. 
Discretion being the better part of valour I hastily got back into my own beautifully Pininfarina penned spider and left. Now what was it I went to argos for????  |

I didn't see the Lancia Gamma coupé in their list of models which reached production http://www.pininfarina.com/index/storiaModelli/modelli.html?modelli.php?sl=0&cmp=anno&ord=desc&ids=ou4flg80j2d9lv2eb9076ddt94 but then neither is the Austin A40 or Hyundai Matrix. The Daewoo Nubira does get a mention however!  |

| 2500cc.
I doubt anyone would bother, you can get that output from a 33 1.7 with a few mods. A lot less spend than a build on one of them too. |

Indeed, and I also have a place for the Lancia Gamma coupe. BTW has anyone put that engine in a 33 yet? 2.3 or 2.5 was it? |

| I don't know who designed it, but the Skoda Roomster must rank highly on ugly car Top ten. | |

| No let's not forget the hits - Peugeot 404 coupé/cabriolet, Peugeot 406 coupé are two I can think of. | |

| Cmon people don't be so nasty take a look at how that car brand looked before P badge. It was advancement of 10years in design.
There are fridges, electric stoves....of corse not all was done by P Man himself but by his studio workers, aprentices maybe some of it in high fever or even drunk. We shouldn't talk bad about dead people.  |

| And conversely, if your styling budget is limited, you get the Matrix.

| Hi,
As we all know Pininfarina has penned some lovely italian creations including the 33 sportwagon and the Fiat Coupe et al. Imagine the shock i got yesterday when i saw a Pininfarina signature on the rear wing of on of these pieces of sh*t 
It's a really nasty Hyundai Matrix. John |
