and then there is the new pick up from KIA.

The image is behind a spoiler tag so that you are responsible for looking at it. I will not be held responsible for any trauma that results smile

Don't mind that, certainly not form over function.

It's no Rodius

I quite like it, certainly looks a bit different to the other pickups on the market. Shame it's not going to be sold in the UK. I'm a big fan of the styling of current Kia's.

Not awful. The Current BMW i7 is far uglier. I wouldn't say it's particularly good looking though.

I raise you the new Santa fe...

Saw it on the road out of the corner of my eye and my brain registered it as some sort of retro 70s wagon. Then I did a second take and realised it was a brand new car!

It makes a cullinan look half decent hurl

quite like that.

Bit Land Rover-ish but it probably won't break down as much.

I like that, the new BMWs are far, far worse

There are many cars on the roads today that are ugly. The Rhodus is inoffensive.

The styling of this Pick Up reminds of the Adventure version of the new BMW 1300 GS. That has similarly blocky, tank (as in military mobile gun carriage) like styling.

Quite like it, just needs a .50 cal strapped to the roof to finish the look.

That red Santa Fe does look last century.

It's saying 'estate car' to me.

It's like an SUV'd take on that low roofed Honda Accord estate.

It's ugly, but certainly not the worst new car.

these are great looking things compared to the identi SUVs that the other manufacturers produce. The Koreans are certainly standing out from the crowd and their sales figures would suggest they are doing something right.

No, the new Kona is far uglier, pretty much repulsive to my eyes.

That's appropriately rugged for a commercial vehicle and doesn't look like you built it out of dustbins, like the stupid Cybertruck.

That does not look half as bad as some of the ugliness on the roads today!
