I have blogged before on the visual tragedy that is the 2005 Kia Amanti (top photo).
It compares, believe it or not, unfavorably with a 1960 Studebaker (middle).
Hideous.
OK, you say, that's pretty bad. How could it get worse? Well, Kia could redesign the thing (bottom).
Yeah, that's pretty bad. They stole the grill from a Mercedes - and uglified it. How much worse can it get?

Indeed - the Kia looks like the devil spawn of a Town Car and an the Mercedes. Here's the rear end of a Town Car:
The S-class is gorgeous. Even the Town Car isn't so bad. But the Kia Amanti is just plain awful. Couldn't they at least copy the attractive bits?
Looks like a tinny CadiJag

'Course, cars don't have lines anymore,just varying degrees of soap bubble.
