The 914 is a Bauhaus lecture on wheels.


That's so honest it hurts.

I think it's aged well (the small bumper versions) and love the function over form of it. Two trunks, tons of space for normal sized people, handles well and goes well with the right engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I've always liked the looks of this car, but it looks better to me with every passing year. I really think the car was ahead of it's time and didn't start to look "right" until years after it's introduction.
The area I have the biggest issue with visually is the front end. Although I think the early bumpers look the best, the rubber bumper top on a light colored car always looks like a mustache to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Even then, it only bothers me from a few angles.

Always really liked the look of the Narrow body cars and now after seeing some more of the flaired versions, those are starting to look "normal" and appealing too.

Still not 100% on the look of the front with the headlights deployed.

Many years ago didn't care so much for the look of them, it took a long time to really appreciate them. Now love the looks of the narrow body, add some fender flares and it adds the right amount of curves. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
