Love those little guys. Also love that it was called a gremlin. I want a motorcycle called a goblin now and an SUV called a troll.

Sincerely wishing the AMC badge would make a comeback. Bring back the Levi’s edition Gremlin!

Looks like an inflatable!

Looks like it'd be right at home home in Rocket League!

i absolutely LOVE these.

The Snoot Droops

You know, I kinda like it too.

It looks so bouncy lol, I love it.

I remember when these things came out! Man, that was a weird moment... The hilarious part is that it's literally just a Rodeo under the skin; the mechanicals are identical.

The dust buster van. Them things used to be EVERYWHERE, I don't remember the last time I've seen one in person. Did they all get cash for klunkered?

Condolences

it has so many cool design features that it's amazing how shitty it looks when you see one irl.

Friend in high school had one of these. We referred to it as "The Shuttlecraft"

Happy pride month!

This was the Dustbuster collaboration.

Nothing ages like the future.

lol I had a coworker that drove one of these for years.

Walk me through this one. Why do you secretly like it? Does it have good features or price? Or does it just speaks to you on an unknowable level?

They were just playing with Moskvich Kombi design, and wow those rims are ugly

Kinda reminds me of the cars from that 90s Romeo and Juliet movie:

That's not objectively ugly at all, it's very nice.

The Multipla justifiably gets a lot of hate, but it had great visibility, and seats six (three front seats rather than two).

It really is fugly though.

The Multipla is the one I immediately pictured but I did not know the name

Ok, now I have to know your dream girls (or guys).

The Multipla was the most practical vehicle ever made. Two rows of three. Huge inside, yet easy on gas and easy to drive and park.

It's like a rodeo front with a jeep back. Lol I love it.

This car is amazing.

Yeah, that back looks much closer to the Pontiac Solstice, which I always thought was a good looking car. I knew a retired guy with one who’d lied about his age during WWII and wound up ferrying aircraft. He was a firecracker when you’d get to talking with him and it seemed like a fun car.

I drove a rented Aztek on vacation once, and it was just fine. Rear visibility sucked, but it was a perfectly cromulent vehicle.

I dunno, I still don't like that "dimple" behind the front wheels.

The looks aren't as bad as the fact that it's a dodge.

I grew up with a Brat! It was beat to hell and we took it everywhere. We went on tank trails and through shallow rivers and places we had no right being. I loved that thing so much. Would love to get one and fix it up.

If you look at the history of Australian Utes you will find this design direction was quite popular locally with Ford & Holden utes.

I love that!

That is definitely small... it has only got one seat! Functional, but with only one seat I would question its practicality.

Having worked as a Heavy Line tech for Land Rover on these things, you made a good call.

I drove a Kia Soul for a number of years. I'm 6'2 and I was always impressed how comfortable I was in it. I once took three coworkers to lunch, one of whom was 6'7", and while I won't claim everyone had room to spare, it was still a way better experience than much larger cars I've driven. They made fun of me for driving a hamster mobile, but it was always the first choice for lunch because I could park that thing anywhere.

I bought a 2012 Kia Soul brand new off the lot in 2012. I loved that weird little car, and 100% owned the hamster memes and LMFAO songs. Ended up selling my Soul for a minivan two years later though (lel).

Fast forward to 2022, I flew to Dallas for a business trip and was ecstatic to find out that my rental was a 2021 Kia Soul. It was a good business trip.

I’m amazed Element, Cube, and the like haven’t made a comeback as EV models. The boxy design makes them perfect for a floorboard of batteries.

I was tempted to get an HHR back in the day, but they didn't offer manual transmission.

Ended up getting a similarly divisive Subaru Baja.

I love that one, that's so cool! Man I'd love to get one of those.

See, I think that the Sidewinder genuinely looked good, for the time. Make it a bit more square and the front end could easily fit into modern designs aesthetics.

The LM-002 has always been my favorite offroad truck. It was designed as a military vehicle, and I feel it looks better in a camo livery than painted for the road. I feel the same about H1 Hummers too.

That Bizzarini is something nasty though. Probably one of their uglier designs, but I think the Bizzarrini Kjara takes the cake for ugliest in their catalog:

Jukes are in general absolute dogshit in terms of reliability, one of the worst cars in the last 20 years IMO.

Citron = 🍋

Citroën 🌵:

I don't hate the look of it. I think they took a bold risk with the style, making the car stand out. The point, I think, was to make the door scratch and bump resistant. I think many are turned off by the plastic-y, cheapo look.
