These Cars Have The Goofiest Faces

We often personify our cars with names and personalities, but we all know they're technically inanimate, right? I guess, but some cars look like they're begging to come to life. Last week I tasked you with sharing your favorite cars that have goofy faces, with my example being the Nissan Cube Krom, but the Jalopnik audience had many more great answers to the question.

As someone who owns a car with a goofy face, I really enjoy when cars have personality. It makes it easier to bond with your car and to start and treating it like a friend rather than an appliance. I'm also a single 28-year-old who lives alone and has no pets, so I might be an outlier, but I'd like to think that everyone with a silly looking car does the same thing. Either way, here are 15 cars with goofy ass faces.

Cross-eyed Morgan Aero 8. I believe it is either Mini or New Beetle headlights originally

I always knew the Aero 8 had an unfortunate face, but I honestly didn't know it shared headlights with the Volkswagen New Beetle! You learn something every day.

I'll admit it: I duckduckgoed for something goofy-unusual and I came up with this—the '89 Nissan S-cargo. S-cargo being a pun on "escargot"—snail—and yeah, nothing blisteringly fast about this van's look. So gotta give the Japanese credit for going unabashedly goofy with its styling.

This answer is so correct and so out of character for you, the1969DodgeChargerFan. Really showing your range today!

The Rolls Royce Phantom VII looks like it's concentrating really hard on what it will present at the next board meeting while taking some much needed "me time" on the toilet.

I never considered the Phantom to have a face, but I can definitely see it now. It's a stuffy face, for sure.

I can't not think it's saying "herpa derpa derpa derp" every time I see it.

Unfortunately I agree with this, one of two cringey derpey comments. Is the whole derp trend back or is it still cringe? I say still cringe.

I know you already brought up Miata, but look how happy it is! The NC is the particularly smiley Miata. It's just hanging out on the road the Throttle House boys film on having fun. Yep... that's my car too. And you're damn right I'm checking the weather daily to determine when it's good to bring it out of it's winter nap.

I will never forgive the Miata for being too small for me to fit in.

Fiat Multipla

Eloquently put, Klone121. The original Multipla has to be one of the goofiest looking cars ever.

I genuinely cannot believe this was not suggested yet.

Haters love to hate on the Edsel face, but I've always loved it.

HURR DURR ERMA CURR

Are millennials the new boomers? I'm guessing this comment was made by a millennial. The car does have a goofy face, I'll give ya that, but why the cringey comment? My skin is crawling, y'all.

The Kaiser Darrin looks like it just ate something really sour.

Garland, this is so beautifully succinct. I freakin' love the Kaiser Darrin and now I will never not be able to see someone who just popped a sour candy.

How about the Panoz Esparante? It's so ugly it's kinda cute, if you imagine that it's got its widdle cheeks filled with acorns like an adorable, automotive hamster!

Who am I kidding? It's just fugly.

You really hit the nail on the head, Skamanda. It totally looks like a chipmunk with acorns in its cheeks.

Some people find it cute, I most definitely find it goofy...

I guess goofy and cute can coexist. I see both arguments.

I can't unsee the sad catfish face on the Sonota, ever.

Oof yeah I can see why you'd say that. It does look a bit plecostomussy.

The Apollo Gumpert. First of all the name itself is goofy sounding...he he Gumpert, what a Gump...Gumpy, Ha! and then it looks like it's trying to see far away, but can't, and is squinting. Or It can't believe what the new neighbors are doing. But I love it though

It looks like an evil cat in a cartoon. No, I will not elaborate.
