You beat me to it! I saw that very photo and just thought "ARRRGGGGHHHH!" Still, at least the dress isn't topless too... Maybe, but that the top has a ford badge! Wha? I find that a bit disturbing, frankly. |

Yikes!!  That's way too pink for my liking! Pink is a very nice colour in its own right, but not on cars.  I do like the metal corset, now that would attract attention at MPH! |

I had the hell's garage experience the better part of my ride home today. The whole time I was on the A11 this afternoon, I was right behind a red Nissan Micra. It made me want to paint black polka dots on it.  |

What on earth were Spyker thinking?!  It's not the car itself (it's a bit Marmite, but I actually quite like it), or even the colour (a Dutch manufacturer painting cars orange makes every bit as much sense as a French one painting them blue, a British one painting them green or an Italian one painting them red, and indeed the styling is inspired by Spyker's racing livery). But it looks like they got a bunch of people who last worked (if you can call it that) at Longbridge during the 70s to run the paint shop and they decided to go for tea (or possibly on strike) when they'd only done half of it. Either that or someone spent too long watching the lava lamp after having a bit of a smoke. The inside of the C8 Laviolette LM85 sounds "tastefully understated" too. It's a good thing Alcantara's a manmade material. On the plus side, I love how stripped down and exposed the functional stuff is, though I'm failing to see how that gels with having an Alcantara covered dash. |

These choices are not mine, but I went on the internet and I found this. Richard Porter, TG script editor, GJOS presenter and Sniff Petrol evil genius, produced a book called Crap Cars a while back. These are a few choice selections from the BBC News website. Hmm... must have been a slow news day... |

 Sorry, but I saw this and I absolutely HAD to revive the thread. This poor Rolls-Royce is just shockingly awful... |

 What the bloody hell did they do to that poor car? Lots more pics at Jalopnik if your eyes can take it... |

I used to think a BMW has classic enough lines to look good in any color, but that's horrific. It's like an Easter basket covered in black piano varnish.

Oh dear god, how could anyone do this to such a beautiful car? I love Lamborghinis, and the Gallardo is the one I'd want. But not this one (via Jalopnik, as usual)  No. Just no. There aren't words to describe the horror of what's been done to this poor car.  Beautiful Asanti wheels... colour-matched and completely ruined.  And as a final insult, here's the diamanté-encrusted Lamborghini badge. Wrong, wrong, wrong... Apparently the bloke responsible for this travesty was also responsible for a major fraud operation. He bought this car for his wife with his ill-gotten gains, although it has now been seized and it is hoped that the proceeds of the sale will go towards compensating the victims. Of course, that does mean somebody else will need bad enough taste to actually buy the thing. |

That is vile. I can imagine Katie Price aka Jordon wanting one of those. I hope they get a huge price for the car and then either scrap it, or do a total paint job. As you say, Wy, it's just wrong

Funnily enough, somebody has a Murcielago SV in a sort of deep acid pink and although I wouldn't want it myself, it looks OK, not too far removed from the bright orange. I think it's the pastel pink and grey together... it somehow looks very 80s. In fact, for a while my bedroom was pale grey with pastel pink accents back in the 80s and I couldn't live with that either :x

Found it!  via MotorCrave. See, that's not to my taste, but I don't think it's any worse than the orange, green or yellow Lamborghini have in their standard range (personally I'd have the orange). |

It's pink but it's not cutesy. It's like a man in a pink shirt, not like a man with a pink tiara and bracelets. You can still see the muscle underneath.

Exactly - if you must have a pink Lambo, you do it like that!

I have two cars to add here today. The first is actually a car I love, the new Fiat 500. But I hate the new pink ones!!  And now the Fiat garage round the corner has put one out the front so I see it everytime I drive past (and I get hideously teased by my friends as they know I love the car and hate the fact it is pink! I mean why...?? I'm sorry if anyone likes it in pink, but it is cute enough anyway. Now it just looks like the toy Barbie car my niece has!  The second car is this:  The Chrysler PT Cruiser in pink. Some one round here has one and I keep seeing it. It was parked outside Morrisons earlier today and it was just vile....eeek. Everyone was looking.....but not in a good way. |

Now it just looks like the toy Barbie car my niece has! They have done a Barbie edition in bright pink as well as the regular pink one. They're all quite awful. However, they did a toy version for Barbie a few months ago and although the interior is pink, the bodywork isn't. I'd almost go as far as to say that the toy Barbie version is actually more tasteful than the real thing!  |

Wy, I totally agree with you. If I had to drive through an area where people knew me and my choice was a bright pink Fiat 500 or the white Barbie one with the pink interior, Barbie's car would win hands down!! Argh yeah Dmc, I'm with you on that. The PT Cruiser's aren't a favourite of mine to start with! But in this colour it is just horrific! You should see it.....it's all round town. I really want to catch a glimpse of the owner  |

And what makes it worse is that it's the exact color of Pepto-Bismol (a stomach-relief/anti-diarrhea medicine in the States)  |

And then you have the medicine to make yourself feel better again....and they're both the same colour. There's a bit of irony for ya |

Oh, that's nasty. At this rate, we're going to have to rename this the 'horrible pink car garage' ;D The only good thing about the fashion for pink cars is that it makes it much easier to play 'car snooker' on long journeys. |

That's way too pink for my liking!
I held you, you felt me, I touched you, you kissed me.......
although it's bad enough as is. Eww.
