1. What's with the boxy suv things all of a sudden?
Looks nicer than the Honda Element (excrement) at least.

6. All they had to do was round off the top/rear
and slope the windshield and it would look fine. It's very ugly as-is.

Why the HELL does this box have a spoiler? Guaranteed it does absolutely nothing.

8. Is there an 'after' pic of that monstrosity
After it rolls 10 times during the landing? At least it won't explode because all the gas is probably gone due to it's sub-crappy MPG.

16. i can't wait till i get my vacation pictures back.
There's this one of me giving someone driving an H2 the finger. It's funny cause you can't see the driver cause it's a really short woman, I didn't see her till i got past in the rearview mirror. All I could see was her sitting back REALLY far and her head just above the steering wheel.

Okay, maybe she wasn't short, just thin. Who knows, we'll see how the picture turns out.

9. Oh the reason they've come out with this box style design
Is to give the drooling masses the illusion that they're getting a Hummer on the cheap. Just more blatent Madison Av. bullshit.

11. Other than that front bumper...
it looks retro to me.

Think delivery trucks from the 30's or old Jeep wagons.

I'd buy one, even with that ugly front end. It's cheap and space efficient. Good gas mileage, too.

13. No, the Element is larger
I've loaded a few Scion xBs. Guys buy this monstrosity thinking it's going to have unreal hauling capacity...and then we put a toilet and a couple of other semi-weighty items in it, and it's very clear that all they bought was an exceptionally ugly-ass car.

Its saving grace is that it's cheap.

14. throw up? I'd rather throw down.
With a bat, or maybe a pick-axe. I'd love to destroy that piece of eyesore.
