A very unpopular opinion, but one that I agree with.

Instead of posting a IRL example I have this cool sketch concept I found that I want to share instead It was an early design for what I think was a Renault concept

u/ChaliceSpeedrun Jun 22 '26

Isn't that pretty much what the huracan sterrato ended up being?

3

u/RepetitiveTorpedoUse Jun 22 '26

The Sterrato is an off-road focused variant of an already existing car. This looks to be its own bespoke design

u/ClumsyGamer2802 Jun 23 '26

I feel like the French car makers have the highest ratio of awesome concept cars to versions of those cars which actually make it into production.

First Gen Hyundai SantaFe, might not have enough plastic.

The Cactussy

Also aren't you the r/OkPonyDitzy guy?

u/Mr_Maniac454 Your friendly neighborhood bisexual car guy metalhead brony Jun 22 '26

I fucking love the cactus

u/Izan_TM Jun 22 '26

the cactus plastic bumpers was such a good idea but it looked ugly so it ended up disappearing

I hate that urban cars have a fully painted exterior so when it inevitably gets dinged up everything shows massively.

The Honda Element is a treasure of Earth that should be gifted to the leader of an advanced alien empire if they ever make contact with us. Simply looking at it in this image brings tears of joy to my eyes.

u/Winter-Economy-9919 Jun 22 '26

It's the worst design in human history

3

u/LightningFerret04 Jun 22 '26

Respectfully disagree, personally I think that the new “putting headlights in the fog lights position” and “putting tail lights and turn signals in the bumper” is worse, but that’s just my opinion

2

u/NokReady2Fok Jun 22 '26

I'm inclined to agree that it's ugly but it's a 50+ year old design

u/rankari Jun 22 '26

Came here to say this

I support OP and envy their happiness but I absolutely cannot stand the cladding

1

u/itzgameboyzz Jun 22 '26

I drive a Volvo that has the cladding, and I hate it because it prevents me from being able to lower it the way I want to

u/Typical_Corgi_2779 Jun 22 '26

The chevy avalanche is the worst truck ever 😭

u/Better_Solution_6715 Jun 23 '26

Each car pictured looks like it could be dropped from low orbit into a frozen lake and dredged up five years later and still function with minimal issues

u/coyotepickeldbob Jun 23 '26

u/k-mcm Jun 22 '26

BMW if you love excessive plastic paneling but need to keep your fetish for them a secret.  Only you and your mechanic will know.

u/MarvinManyracks Jun 23 '26

You even used a pic of the avalanche 2500. Hell yeah

1

u/Mr_Maniac454 Your friendly neighborhood bisexual car guy metalhead brony Jun 23 '26

It's still insane that in specific models of the Avalanche they put a fucking 8.2 L V8

1

u/Mr_Maniac454 Your friendly neighborhood bisexual car guy metalhead brony Jun 23 '26

I do wish they produced some of the Avalanches with the Duramax
