I disagree wholeheartedly in the name of all that is good and pure. How dare you imply such a travesty in this fair club.

We should at least give this guy a chance. I propose we set up a race with the Zafira, an SCC Ultimate Aero, a Veyron and a Koenigsegg CCXR. If the Zafira wins I will happily concede that it is the best car in the world.

Speed isn't everything, though, so we'll have to think up some other tests so that we can judge it from every possible angle: performance, aesthetics, desirability, etc etc.

Still looks bad for the Zafira.

Although it may have the upper hand in cost-effectiveness and practicality...

Sorry man, I can only be addicted to one car :P

I guess that other kid was full of shit. I can't believe I fell for it! Shame on me.

Nah, no worries, I was gullible enough to buy it too. Odd, I'm normally rather cynical about that kind of thing...

It always did, TBH.

Yeah... obviously it'll have most supercars beat in MPG, and purchase / insurance price. Doesn't mean it's the best car in the world though. To judge the best car in the world, you'd have to look at every little detail, like the engineering, technical comparisons with other cars, etc etc.

I think we can safely assume, despite not doing any of the appropriate legwork, that the Zafira is in fact NOT the best car in the world. ;P

Always the 1950's Jaguar XK140 for me. One of the most beautiful cars ever IMO. Still may not techincally be the best car in the world (understandably so, with nearly 60 years of engineering improvement succeeding it), but it's just so nice to look at.

Dude, you're lucky. the fastest thing I've ever drove is an 03' Accord LX

lol you got me beat. fastest thing i drove so far is my '95 Ford Tempo! by the way i did pop up from nowhere and yes i'm a massive auto enthusiast. a lot of you guys have pretty nice favorites (props to the dude with the pic of a Saleen S7R) but mine has yet to change (except when it recieved a minor tweak in 2006 that made me love it even more), it's none other than the good old Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 (verde ithaca body color please). 632 horsepower, 487 pounds of foot torque, 0-60 in 3.3 seconds, and a base price ranging from $312,000-$330,000 depending on your buy. for the smart ones, yes that is a picture of my NFS Pro Street LP640.

I thought it was. I remember that same exact challenge too.

Wow. That is one kick-ass Saleen. But, ever heard of the Bugatti Veyron? Most powerful car in the world. 1,001 hp in that baby. Here it is:

This is an open group but you have to get permission from the club starter or a founding member to join (that'll be me then, seeing as nobody else appears to be around). You've blatantly double posted to get yourself noticed but seeing as you're new here I'll let that one slide. Don't do it again though. Welcome to the club and have fun!

Like anyone here hasn't heard of the Veyron lol

LOL.

First off, car enthusiasts club. Would be kinda pointless if nobody even knew what a Veyron was.

Secondly, the Veyron isn't the most powerful car in the world anymore. Get up to date, man, for god's sakes.

WTF is that thing? All I can say is wow!

Looks like a concept car IMHO. The Aero is the fastest production car as far as I know, but that car looks almost space-age!

It's the Melling Hellcat. It's currently in production but not yet on sale. It was built with the sole purpose to be the fastest street legal production car.

DAAAAAAAMN!!! 0_0 that is wicked sick for stock (implying that is stock right?). wow i can't say that i can think up anything faster than that without going outside of factory fresh stats. i thought the SSC would walk away with the win on this. your pick is one hell of a beast, what's her name?

wow i can be stupid sometimes. Melling Hellcat eh? i swear i've heard the name elsewhere but i can't put my finger on it. i think it was in Juiced 2. well the Hellcat and the Chrysler ME412 have something in common now, they both run off of 4 turbochargers.

I'll call your bet. :3

Anyone seen the Mini Clubman? It's the one with two doors on the back, kind of like a fridge-freezer.

Anyway, there's a reason that it's slogan is "The other Mini" -- because it's the Mini Cooper's ugly twin brother that was locked away in the attic for most of it's life, until one day the parents grew a conscience and let it loose on the world in all it's ugly glory, much to our dismay.

Every time I'm driving behind one on the road I want to vomit. ;P

ROFL! by the way yes i would be interested in joining the club.

Oh yeah, and some slightly belated kudos to the Nissan design team for managing to come up with a brand new, wonderfully innovative concept in aesthetics and use of space...

...a cardboard box with wheels.

Anyhoo, this gives me an idea. Let's have a competition to find the world's ugliest car! We'll start off moderate, and work our way to hideous. The winner will be the person whose car is unanimously declared as unbeatable in the ugly stakes.

There won't be any real prize, just major laughs from your fellow CEC members.

Rules:

- The car must be in production (i.e. no concepts)
- The car must not have ceased production before the last 20 years (i.e. no cars from the 1950's etc.)

Let's get the ball rolling with the Fiat Multipla! For some reason, the designers decided to give it some form of hideous growth on the front. What an eyesore!

The second gen Multipla isn't nearly as ugly as the first gen one though so at least the designers learned from their mistake.

I'm not disclosing the name of my car for the time being as I have another slightly more hideous car that I will post later on in this competition that has a very similar name and I don't want anyone to steal it.

I'd have to go with the Smart Sports car. Seriously hideous, I wouldn't be seen dead driving one.

Behold the ugliness. Look at that, doesn't it just turn your stomach?

Wow, those are some butt-ugly cars. For starters from me, here's is the G Whizz. No comments required.
