I kind of love it, mostly because it's totally ridiculous in a unique way. The steering wheel is unironically quite cool, though I suspect I use the spokes more than I realize.
And airbags are cool
Face can't hit the steering wheel if the steering wheel is just a big hole. Genius.
Gotta love how when they ran out of money they just sticked a kitchen knife into the shifter
Yeah, my car has controls on the steering wheel. It makes them super convenient. I wouldn't want to give that up, but that wheel does look really cool.
I don't love it, but not sure how it ranks as one of the ugliest cars.
Not cassette futurism because it lacks buttons.
The Lagonda combined striking styling with a premium leather interior and (for the day), advanced instrumentation. ...
Throughout the history of the marque, the hand-built Lagonda was amongst the most expensive luxury saloons in the world. The only other production cars to approach its price were the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit/Silver Spur and the Bentley Mulsanne.
The Lagonda was the first production car to use a digital instrument panel.[7] The development cost for the electronics alone on the Lagonda came to four times as much as the budget for the whole car. The Series 3 used cathode-ray tubes for the instrumentation, which proved even less reliable than the original model's light-emitting diode (LED) display.
It was named by Bloomberg Businessweek as one of the 50 ugliest cars of the last 50 years[8] and Time magazine included it in its "50 Worst Cars of All Time", describing it as a mechanical "catastrophe" with electronics that would be impressive if they ever worked.[9]
That piece of yellow beige trim between the door and the dash sticks out like a sore thumb.
This is fuckin sexy
70ies plastic look.
This is really interesting to see. The new Jaguar concept seems like it took cues from this kind of geometric design (for better or worse).
Crazy how much sexier this design from the 70s is.
