Bugatti Veyron #1

Okay, it's a Bugatti, though in name only being now built by the Volkswagen Group after they purchased the name - BUT - the front end looks...well, stupid! It is rated as the fastest production car available with speeds of 268 MPH. I still don't like the front end. Costs between $2.4 and 2.6 million. Now I definitely don't like the front end.

I think it looks good. They managed to build the fastest supercar in the world while still keeping the horseshoe grille that has been on just about every Bugatti since the 1920's. I'm sure that wasn't easy to do considering the aerodynamics that are involved.

Someone had one at the shopping center near me a few months ago. Don't think I would park one of those things in a public parking space...! Of course movie people live around here and the Oakland Raiders have their practice field here and those kids drive up in some VERY over the top cars.

I think it's the way they set off the grill with that chrome (?) strip that makes it look so added on and out of place. I agree, it needs to be there - the grill, not the strip - and it did take a lot of planning.

Yes, the chrome looks somewhat out of place, probably because it's the only piece of chrome on the whole car...

Nothing that a can of black paint can't fix.

1968 MGB Purchased already dis-assembled which is why I'm often ignorant about what some parts are, and even more ignorant of where they go.

If you owned a Veyron, you probably wouldn't care what color the grille trim was. You would be having way too much fun driving it.

Surprising cars when they first came out (2006) - you can get them at a bargain these days! Check Ebay, there are always one or two at roughly $1.2million used w/1000 miles on them. Talk about losing some value off the lot!!!
