What is the most soulless and bland car ever produced?
Kia Soul and similar lame subcompacts that aren't a manual Civic/Fit and only exist as disposable transportation.
>>28197888Chevy equinox, ford ecosport, any5hibg similar reallyThere was no, "design," per se;There was simply a spreadsheet, a wind tunnel, an engineer with a bachelor's in aerospace, and 56, mostly female, MBAsThe "designer" was graciously allowed to draw some lines in chalk on the final wind-tunnel blob, lines which, at any time, may be cut out by said team of 57 MBAsThe 58 MBAs mandated, of course, that the main points of styling, being the grille, lights, and beltline, were to be reused from other models and simply stretched over the damn thing like a bad UV mapping, because it was to be, well, a bad UV mappingAny possible cost was to be cut and put towards hiring a 59th MBA>>28197893I'd argue that the soul at least has some level of styling, however rudimentary it may be

>>28197939I agree, the equinox is the embodiment of "I just needed a car." invisible in the masses. especially in rental spec white. It makes other generic crossovers seem like sovlful handcrafted Ferraris. The equinox has a 1.5l turbo 4 cylinder paired with a cvt. it's just designed to last the warranty period and get disposed of right after. At least the ford edge, focus and jeep grand Cherokee and chevy blazer can get reasonably sized engines for their classes and not have CVTs.
>>28197888Those wheels look good though. And that Celebrity *looks* better than any modern GM parts bin plastic junk car but it’s also a GM parts bin plastic junk car but older.
>>28197888Does it have power windows? I’m guessing yes. Pretty sure it has rear drums too, right? My late 70s car has power steering+windows+mirrors, a sunroof, fuel injection, and disc brakes in the rear too so these are a must.
>>28197939Why did they have to give such a cool name to such a boring nothingmobile? I learned to drive in my mother's blue 07 equinox so I ended up having a soft spot for the first gen. It blew it's head gasket and I regret not urging her to have it repaired instead of getting a new car. I miss that blue idiot so much
The most soulless bland cars are the ones even car enthusiasts forget about
>>28197888Chrysler K platform
>>28197888The skyline, they just took a vette rear end and put a box on the front end.
>>28198317Say what?
>>28198334Technically that's not a K platform, the GTC was J platform which was a derivative of the K. The Daytona/Laser/GS were on the G platform if memory serves and the K platform was specifically for the midsize cars, but generally all the FWD chryslers were called K cars regardless if it was an omni, caravan, daytona or a rampage.
>>28197888Any crossover.
>>28197888Used a local rent-a-wreck some years ago and got a Kia Rondo. It was the deadest car I've ever driven. Most cars have at least something about the way they move that I can find entertainment in but not this thing. Totally joyless in everything it did.
>>28197888>uhm, did you seriously just call some obscure 80s shitbox "soulless"? yikes, your taste is so basic-bitch and unrefined. I must let you know that we're talking about a collectible classic here and its literally the next big thing, my favorite jewish youtuber said so! Ill tell you what you can't call yourself a real car enthusiast if you dont appreciate quirky cars like this!
id argue the aussie ute, stock their slogs only good for towingand the XT sedans aka aussie taxiesgreat cars but GOD their boring stock, very fun to modify however kinda like usa's crown vicc/mustangs and europes bmws
