Boring and Bland - modern styling

Isimmo · 03-11-10, 01:24 PM

Sat in a car park today and parked next to me was this bland lump of modern automotive architecture...

I couldn't figure out what it was, probably a modern Jag or some Honda...

Dreary looking thing isn’t it.

Have you noticed how they all seem to look the same.
And don't get me started on how they've ruined the 3 series bmw over the years.

I was tempted to say Vauxhall Insignia, but it does look more like a Jag. And yes it's as bland as a bowl of custard.

I wondered if it was a Toyota type thingy... What they called, 'adsyfilis or something.

thats an insignia, my mate has one as a company car , BORING!

i got to admit i like the new 3 series!

I have to choose a new car shortly....mmmmmm.......

all boils down to how many goodies I can get for my money and how low we can go on the emmissions cos shape, general build quality and colour is all much of a muchness these days

to be fair the Insignia is actually a very well put together car for a Vauxhall. Boring as they all are but nonetheless they have done a pretty good job overall. No doubt let down by a shite engine

or maybe this?

Ahhh... Thats the new world wide manufacture, made in all countries left or right hand drive, universal parts, obligatory "Blonde" automatic Pilot, called B.L.O.B. Its hand crafted by those bright young engineers at K.I.N.D.E.R.G.A.R.T.E.N using hi tech moulding clay and a Roundtree's Plastic Mould - add water, and instant jelly, then bake in oven and Aye Voila!! INSTANT B.L.O.B recognizable to all...
