icky flat buttons
like a cheap microwave
Give me physical buttons dammit!
Should rebuild my interior and replace all the buttons with Cherry blues. 😏
Box jades :3
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.
Because it’s hideous? Haha
I love boxy shaped cars (and the wedge design of the era), but this thing was hideous even for the time.
And I thought the inside was bad, the exterior is worse lol
Inside is phantastic, exterior ruins it
Have you seen the HORN button. Absolutely HORRENDOUS
Where’s it?
Zoom in behind the wheel, on the top row is SLOW FAST HORN. It just seems so tacky to have to find that button every time you wanna honk at some jackass.
Oh God…
That grill is probably why, change that out and honestly she’s a beaut
It looks lopsided.
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
Looks cool but is shit. These microswitches are equally shitty in a car like touchscreens. Just a tiny bit less horrible. I WANT HAPTIC CONTROLS. period. Buttons i can feel without taking my eyes off the environment.
This coming from a tech-loving super-nerd. But not in the car where safety should rule
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.
