Korean SUV ’so ugly it makes children cry’

Readers of Car Magazine voted the Rodius SUV by Korea’s very own SSangyong Motors the biggest automotive atrocity ever, according to The Sun (UK).  Voters said the car was so ugly "it made small children cry."  Ouch.

    But seriously, I gotta agree. In general, Korean car designs haven’t been that eye-catching. They need to higher better car designers or at least engineers to do fit cars in to better designs.

    I thought that it was common knowledge by now that the Scrodius is the ugliest car conceived by Korea.

    However, it does raise ch’emyon to own one…maybe that’s why UNCMAC has a black fleet of them. ;-)

    On top of their original “automotive atrocity,” Korean automakers try to emulate automotive monstrosities from manufacturers all over the world; take a long, hard look at the rear end of the Hyundai Dynasty and the headlamps on the Ssangyong Chairman, and you would find the ghost of the late, guppy-faced European Ford Granada/Scorpio (with this criminally ugly offering, Ford effectively wiped out the most of non-premium brand executive car segment in Europe). These brain-dead morons copied that design disaster front and back!

    They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but for these Korean designers, flattery will get you no where but an industrial design dump.
