No beauty but Tatra were very innovative. But unfortunately this one came from the same Communist era as the Trabant. I think Communist era designs should be excluded from this quiz on the grounds of handicap!

The Stavic (Beaten by NB_351). I agree that no Ssangyong should be on our roads, for the fuglification factor alone!



Or My Personal Favorite:

The Tatra T603 - Air Cooled, Rear Mount V8, made in the Czech Republic.

Nice one! Quote of the month!


I'd have to say;

The Falcon AU, and the Ford Ka. Also, the Holden Statesmen (up to VE model...)/Ford Fairlane. They look way too stretched! I'd have to say the early 90s Magna/Verada also. Oh, and the Honda Civic before the current shape.

Oh, and I'm not old enough to remember some of the cars mentioned...
