Hi All!
I nominate either the Strasbourg abominations, or
the horrors at Lyons as the ugliest cars ever made.
Talk about mobile goldfish bowls............!!!

You haven't seen the weird Citadis thingys that
Melbourne has just bought!

Okay, gang! you asked for ugly, you got ugly! Here from my collection is a
picture of a Lyon, France Citadis (related to the Melbourne Citadis only by
name and builder). I'm told that the Lyon tramway system chose this front
end to emulate the silkworm, because Lyon is supposedly the World capital of
the silk industry. [Funny, I thought Japan was, but see, that's how much
*I* know! <g>] To me, it looks rather like a phallus...YRCH! (Photo by
