Ugly duckling

Walked past a Mercedes GLA parked up near my home. Until now I thought that the Nissan Juke was the ugliest car on the market, but this MB takes some beating. Its a shocker from every angle. Didn't have my phone with me to snap it which is a pity as it was in some lairy colour but made it look even worse. The pics Ive added are from a review and actually flatter it....What were they thinking off? Has MB lost the plot altogether with exterior design?

For the owner's sake, I just hope it's better than the A Class I had until last year. Lovely to drive, but rattles everywhere. Dreadful build quality.

The GLA may be awkward but come on...Nissan Juke levels?

I think not. I think its on the level of the BMW 1 series/X1/X4 in terms of awkwardness...and those do look rather awkward at times.

It looks no uglier than any other SUV/crossover/whatever to me. IMO, the GLA 45 AMG looks way better than any X1/X3/X5 out there.
