Surely the most ludicrous one currently out (in a tough competition) is the Kia Cee'd. I mean what the fuck is all that about?

Personally I'm still intrigued to know why a Franco-Romanian concern named their car the Logan. After the Eurovision winner, I'd like to think.

The Ital was a risible attempt to spice up the Marina by the goons at BL. Wikipedia says large bits of its design are still on sale in China as the Huandu CAC6430. CAC being the word, I suspect.

Is that Jon Pertwee's car from Doctor Who?

Driving around in a car like that would kill. The rakish fenders, the purple upholstery...You could plant flowers in the side basket...how could you not get laid.
