What’s The Worst Facelift Since 2000? - CarScoops

Sometimes mid-life tweaks actually improve a car’s looks, but occasionally they’re a major step backwards

The average new car has a lifespan of six or eight years so it’s inevitable that automakers feel the need to fiddle with a design at the midway point.

A few light tweaks to lights and bumpers can help an older car look more fashionable and fresh enough to entice existing owners to sign up all over again, and to fend off newer rivals.

Throughout history there have been some real mid-cycle styling travesties including the Ferrari 512 M, whose nasty fixed headlights and split-rim wheels made it look 10 times uglier than the 512 TR it replaced and, of course, the MGB, which was blighted with a giant set of black plastic bumpers to meet mid-1970s U.S. crash regulations.

But in this instance, we want to focus on cars of the recent past, meaning vehicles that have been nipped and tucked since the year 2000.

The Fiat Multipla was definitely less ugly after its facelift, but it was also far more boring, which is arguably even worse.
