Cars which look like animals - Trilogy

For some time the front of a Ciroen DS3, with the vertical day running lights reminds me of a beaver.

The new BMW 1 series - a hippo.

The Fiat Multipla in its first guise of the present car - a dolphin.

Chrysler Crossfire Coupe - looks like a dog on the toilet.

Any one else got some more?

Ferrari 275 looks like a frog. Morgan Aero 8 looks like a squirrel or a hamster with full cheeks. Toyota Aygos remind me of a small dog. Somebody once did say to me that they thought the Porsche Cayenne looks like a hippo.

The K12 Nissan Micra (2003 - 2010): definitely a frog from the front!

I was looking at the latest VW Scirocco - IMHO it looks good from all angles... except directly from the rear...someone (possibly here) once said the Scirocco's rear view looked like a dog sitting down having a c**p! Think of that what you will! It ceratinly put me off...if only VW hadn't narrowed the car rear passenger compartment to make it look like that - maybe a side-effect from having all those safety side impact bars etc in the doors.

Sorry, just re-read the Crossfire comment (not where I got the Scirocco info though) - they do look very similar from the back!

Not an animal, but to me the Scirocco looks like a squashed Golf. In a similar vein the BMW Z4 puts me in mind of a Z3 that's been involved in a low-speed pile-up! And a Lamborghini Murceilago - a low-polygon 3D graphic of a Ferrari!

Now to animals:

Audi TT - hamster
