China’s JAC Auto is at it again...

[PanterroR]

If there’s one Chinese carmaker that knows how to make an automotive mixed grill, that has to be JAC Auto. After the Skoda-Mercedes-Lexus thingamajig called the C240 -click here- that appeared at the 2007 Shanghai Show (and who knows how many other products like it), JAC Auto strikes again with a monstrosity part Lancia Thesis, part Ford Taurus, part… well, we’ll let you decide for yourselves what other car this vehicle reminds you of.

I don't know whether to laugh or vomit!

Producing it is one thing, but God bless the ones who actually buy it.

Simply revolting.

I never thought I'd see the day when a car would out-size the grille size of a RR Phantom or the MM Excellero!!

Looking past that dominating yet quirky grille, it seems pretty clear the designers got a LOT of inspiration from the facelifted E-class. If the front lights were trapezoidal rather than like an egg, and the grille was shrunk to 2/3rd's its size, this car wouldn't be vomit-inducing.

Gotta love that 5-pointed star emblem.

In all honesty, the rear isn't too bad when you consider what a mess they made of the front.

I think this is pretty laughable

Is it just me or do the pictures appear broken?

"I don't know whether to laugh or vomit!"

That is what I thought too!

Holy sh!t...never mind. I just saw 1 of the pics. WT-F? Do they have a team of blind men designing this crap? It's so ugly I wouldn't use it as a toilet.

It's so ugly I wouldn't use it as a toilet.

Of course you wouldn't, that's why we have toilets these days.

Who knows, maybe this thing has a 9 litre V12 under the hood, so they were forced to make the grille so big to provide enough airflow.

Ah who am I kidding... it's terrible.
