I'll be the odd one out, I like it...rather have that shape than a PT. Looks more chunkier and beefy.

Just seen a black one in a parking lot. Damn near died laughing. Seems there is an ugly contest that all the manufacturers got into

But, we are talking about cars NZ, not stew.

Bah! They need to make a new Vista-Cruiser, and leave the 30s retro look alone.

  Matt,
   Are you talking about the station wagon on "That 70's show"??? Those opera windows were quite original, weren't they?

Here you go, the new Vista-Cruiser-esque Buick version... as brought to you by photoshop.

Mike:

This is a rather ragged example of an original Vista-Cruiser: it's station wagon with a cool sunroof.



The one that I "drew" has a full length glass roof. Now that car, with some front end tweaks and a  350 V-8 could be a competitor to the Magnum.

Yeah Matt,
   That green thing is the real deal. My neighbor had one growing up in the 70's. That 71 Challenger station wagon that was at Carlisle last year stole the opera windows.  :laughing: The picture is in a recent thread here somewhere.

I had an HHR as a rental last month on a business trip. Butt-ugly up close, very underpowered, not very comfortable or very well laid out in the c0ckpit. Didn't like it, and have avoided any others like the plague since.

So it is ugly and underpowered. But it makes up for it in the badly laid out interior.

So GM sent out this car but killed the Camereo/Ferberd twins. No wonder they are going BK
