Ever Seen Bland Roll Down the Street?

Behold, a car that is blandness in physical form: the Daewoo Lanos (1997-2002).

This is, without a doubt, the most boring, hopeless and dreary car sold within the last ten years.

It's a Korean car, which were once known for making vehicles that displayed all the traits, and more, that I just mentioned. However, the newest Hyundais and Kias are getting better. Much better, actually.

This sad car is the definition of nondescript.

Get rid of the grill and it could be anything: a Ford, a Mazda, a Hyundai or a Kia.

People behind the Lanos had to be very, very careful. Prolonged exposure to this would instantly put them to sleep.

Now, surely, the interior would have something interesting, right?

No. Unless you call matte gray plastic fascinating. But, Daewoo knew this, and came up with a brilliant plan to improve the interior.


There. Isn't that just so much better? The fake stitched, faux vinyl, leather just really gives it some class.

All joking aside, economy cars are designed to fit a price. That's the reality.

But is it so difficult to give someone something nice to drive? Is there a reason why consumers can't have an attractive, cheap car? Why can't they have something nice to touch and look at when they're driving?

Companies need to remember that people are paying a lot of money for a new car. When manufacturers come out with something like this it looks like they don't care.

In fact, they likely don't.

But I might be expecting too much from the good people at Daewoo. They just don't have very good taste when it comes to design. I can prove it.

Just look at their logo.

It looks like a jockstrap.

When you see one of these, hit the gas, get away as quickly as you can. Because dullness is infectious.

Save your car, and remember that overdrive is necessary.
