The latest Grills on BMW's. The latest 7 one is just huge and the X5 etc just looks too big. BMW's used to be stylish. Not any more......The worst is to come though with the 4 series concept 90% ready in the picture below. Let's hope the final 10% is the grill although I fear from BMW's comments it's not. Shame as the car itself looks OK.

And the 'improved' Audi grille.

From time to time people post on here wrapped and modded cars, particularly Maserati’s that offend them, but are there any cars that offend you straight out of the showroom.
For me it has to be Honda Civic Type R’s the one that looks like a jet fighter, fully loaded with spoilers, splitters fake air intakes etc etc.
Every time I see one I shake my head and think bad things about the driver.
I always thought it looked like a Transformer halfway through transforming!

I’ve never been offended by any car, but drivers on the other hand, is another story.

I'm always deeply suspicious of anyone driving while wearing a hat. Whether that's a yoof in a baseball cap or an old geezer in a homburg.

Driving gloves are another pet hate, unless in an open top classic in the middle of winter

Offends is a strong word, but the new BMW grilles are terrible. Big black plastic dumped on the front. What the **** were they thinking!

Berlingo and PT cruiser are the only 2 in can think of that are so ugly they 'offend' me. The civic as mentioned is also shocking.
