I don't like the old 300, but the new one is a really good looking car IMO. It has a very nice interior, and they made it look like a $80,000 car despite being only half that.

Lancia version, but it's exactly the same in every way except the badge.

I'd never buy one due to Chrysler's reputation for never lasting past 100,000 miles without everything breaking, but at least their cars are at least looking less like formless blobs or cheaply bent metal panels in the case of Dodge.

But Lancia's reputation for rust?

It's a Chrysler, so it will have a reputation for the transmissions spontaneously exploding, not rust.

Just to clear things up, I was saying that the Sebring was trying hard to be his majesty. 2g Eclipses are some of the sexiest cars to ever roll on the Earth.

Parents almost got this when I was younger. They thought it was terrible and got the Explorer instead.

I think its because Taurus's, like Mormons, are still around even though nobody can stand them they don't make much sense.

Taurus SHO.

This is the Brilliance BS6. Just awful looking with that grille. It's dangerous as well.

**MrWhite** · 2nd December 2011

The grille isn't the best, but it's not awful. the whole vehicle by itself isn't that bad, either. Definitely not as bad as some of the other stuff's been posted here

It's boring but I wouldn't call it awful.

I actually like it. I wouldn't mind having that car.

It seems unfair to judge a Chinese car on looks. Everyone knows that some other manufacturer designed those looks first.

In this case, Lancia.

It would be if they didn't put the brake lights all the way at the top.

Trust me, it isn't.

I dont know what it is with everybody making high-ass back ends but I can imagine the blind spots would be awful. That and everybody is trying to look like the prius with that ugly ass split rear window look (they put the lights where the bottom half of the window would be)

They do it because it's very aerodynamic compared to flat cutoffs like on wagons or the 3 box design of sedans.

**Ldesu** · 4th December 2011

I rather want to be able to see backwards than having loads of aerodynamics anytime

What if it had rear-view cameras?

not the same, those have their blind spots too. (Im used to driving a truck with 2 small pillars in the rear so I have a great view of my sides and back so I can merge easily from mostly any angle.

If a car had cameras showing 360 degrees around the car, would blind-spots make any difference?

Cameras have their own set of issues. My dad's truck has a back-up camera, but the fish-eye lens makes it very difficult to tell how far away stuff is. Tiny drops can get on the lens of the camera and render the thing a blurry mess.
