956 is very ugly, it does not look even little like a car, it sure has wheels, but that is about it, those prototype class 'cars' have some reason always been things that I dislike because of looks.

Even Aston Martin Lagonda looks like more of car and that thing is quite horrible ugly.

Car should look like a car, plane should look like a plane and boat should look like a boat, that is how I like my world, straight, bit shaken and not stirred (well, at least cars and girls :mrgreen: ).

Burn the witch! :lol:

Lagonda is beauty as frankenstain, both being slapped together from various parts lying around, but it certainly is matter of taste really.

I find this to look lot like a car, but I believe many think it is quite ugly...:
