I found out about slabs just the other day. I think they qualify for weird:

The wheels remind me of these from James Bond's DB5:

I was reminded of the chariot race in the movie Ben-Hur.

Better when viewed from this angle

Better in what sense of the word?

:cool:

Truth be told, I was kind of taken by the existential weirdness of the Kube, although the Kia Soul -- or the daddy of 'em all, the original morph of the Scion xB -- are probably less borderline-personality-order-indicating choices.
Heck, I kind of liked the frog-like visage of the Nissan Juke.

Ahh, the Juke. Perhaps the only automotive styling exercise influenced by the Four-eyed Fish, Anableps anableps.

Well it was kind of response to @Blumlein 88 ; I guess that he didn't try to show the most beautiful car in the world.
So I picked up the Cube that I categorize in the same "beauty" contest and showed that Nissan model from all sides :p

I would get a "classic" Porsche, then a Panamera, then a targa and maybe then t... the buggy version.
But I'm not that rich :facepalm:

I have a classic Porsche - 1973 911. It cost $12,000 in 1999. Since then the prices have been run up like crazy by "Collectors" - people that want one to actually drive can't afford them now.

Bill Thomas Cheetah. For some reason I've always loved this car. They're supposed to be treacherous handling beasts and with the headers running right next to the footwell really uncomfortable as well. But I've loved them since I saw it in Hot Rod Magazine in the mid 60's.
