    Honestly if it weren't for the weird graphics package it's not that bad.


    I honestly thought about doing SOMETHING LIKE this but not quite to this level.

    I read the headline as "Lumina Design".


    Sadly, it was a late-'90s American model, rather than the Middle Eastern Commodore.

    The Lumma Design BMW CLR X 650 GT is the automotive equivalent of this other equally incomprehensible artistic extravaganza, designed for bored housewives with too much money, and not enough taste or common sense:

    I never realized that what this car needed was more ugly...


    Seriously, this thing is an abomination; and I don't use this word often, it may be the first time I used it in a comment here.

    A little more white paint, and they'll have achieved a lofty styling goal: the immortal 1979 AMX

    The only saving grace I can see from this hunk-o-crap is the fact that the chrome wheel fad seems to be subsiding. And really, that's a good thing.

    Thanks for the spoiler. This thing was getting a little loose out on the track. And by track I mean the city. And by loose I mean I mean I was drunk.

    This may be the only car that can make you look at the Primate Aztek, and think... "You know, maybe that thing's not so bad after all."

    @Number_Six: For that exact reason, I think all Jalops should have snow-plows on the front of their vehicles. We can declare ourselves the arbiters of good taste and automotive discretion, and exact our swift sentencing with the blade of the plow.

    @Deartháir: Are we talking about some new-fangled kind of plow that comes with it's own wheels, or something? I'm pretty sure that most folks here have at least one car that'd try to do a front flip with that much weight tacked on the front.

    @Deartháir: You make an interesting point. Which begs the question... since the Aztek came before the equally ugly and also segment bending X6: Is Pontiac a poor man's Bimmer, or is BMW a rich man's Pontiac?

    @PetroSapien: I think a few years ago it might have been the former, but since about 2002 it's become the latter. And it's particularly true now that Pontiac has the G8.

    @Jakuub: A lot of them around here do have their own supporting wheels when they get up into the larger sizes. They do, however, make them for smaller cars. I almost bought one for my Buick Century a few years back.
