Cars : Grills :: People : Faces

Have you ever noticed how cars have a look about them that is strangely animal or human characteristics? I have. Here are a few of my favorites:


The Jeep Wrangler
It looks like a bulldog - look at it with it's big eyes, upturned lip, and 2 giant nose holes. It's the pissed off, but kind of dumb look on it's face that gets me. Looks kinda like this:




Porsche 911 Carrera:

Here's another good one. This one looks distinctively european, with it's goofy looking smile that turns up just a little bit from being straight across, like this smiley: :-| It's got giant eyes that are kind of set back a little because if you were this guy, you'd be saying "wooooahhhh man we're goin fasttttt" maybe a little like this cartoon character (pardon the self drawnness)




VW Passat:
Duh, I had to do it. To me, it looks kind of like I look most of the time, I have my eyes open (lights on) but i'm generally not paying too much attention. There's a little curve of a smile on the bottom (black) grill, but it doesn't know what it's smiling at. Totally clueless. Or maybe, it's just sitting there watching you. Like stewie. Plotting. To kill you. Or mistakenly run you down when i'm too tired to see that red light.



Dodge Viper
Ok - yeah, had to do this one. It looks like a snake. A viper. What more do you need to konw. It's got a slightly larger front end than how big it is around at the middle, which is kinda like how the snake's head is bigger than it's body, or at least wider. Although, I have no idea how it ever finds anything to eat - it's crosseyed right now.

The last one:

Saturn Sky (not released yet - just saw it on the chicago auto show site)
It looks like a sportscar, but it's a little tall, and it's face looks smooshed, so it looks like an asian guy, with a pushed out bottom lip. (by the way - don't so a search for "asian" on google images. bad news) I couldn't find that one specifically, so mix this one of the girl with this one of the dude (apparantly his name is kent)


So there we have it. My car look alike contest. Essentially.

What car do you think you look like?
