"  Lexus LFA    The Lexus LFA we drove recently made its first North American debut in LA. As breathtaking as the 552 hp supercar&amp;#039;s performance may be, there are a few design details that just don&amp;#039;t work. The one that stands out to us is that horizontal cut-line across the nose. This might be function triumphing over flash, but there must have been a cleaner way to execute the front of this car. Chevy Volt    The Volt extended-range EV is unquestionably one of the most highly anticipated new cars coming to market in 2010. Our brief drive proved the car transitions seamlessly between EV and charge-sustaining modes. The design, however has been met with some criticism. Overall, we like the styling but the one gaff, made late in the process, was moving the charging port to the driver&amp;#039;s side fender and covering it with a traditional fuel door. Ugh. The location could prove inconvenient for certain charging situations, like tight parking garages with hook-ups engineered for front-mount plugs. But even if the location of the plug location must remain on the fender, why not hide it with a rectilinear cover that better melds with the lines of the car? Toyota Sienna    The all-new 2011 Toyota Sienna is one of the best-looking minivans to hit the market in some time. However, one design element that Toyota seems to be incorporating on all its most recent production cars just doesn&amp;#039;t work. The bulging headlight protrusion is odd and very awkward-looking from certain angles. Why not just flush-mount the headlights for a cleaner look? Hyundai Sonata    Hyundai&amp;#039;s design has improved tenfold in the last several years. And the all-new Sonata is generally a very attractive sedan. But there is one styling element that we just don&amp;#039;t dig: A long piece of trim that extends from the back of the headlight to the side mirrors, looks as though someone forgot to shut the hood. Yes, it is less noticeable from further back. But up close, it makes the car look unfinished.   Spyker C8 Alleron Spyder    We&amp;#039;re not sure what to make of this. Boutique supercar maker Spyker has fitted its new C8 Alleron Spyder with this odd-looking luggage rack. We&amp;#039;ll let the tomato paste red leather go, but the flimsy, strapped-on look of this luggage rack just wouldn&amp;#039;t work on any car produced after about 1937. Chances are if you have one of these supercars in your garage, you probably have a Bentley or Rolls-Royce too. So just leave the Spyker at home and pile your luggage in the Roller for the weekend road trip. Audi eTron    One lap through Audi&amp;#039;s show booth at the LA Auto Show proves that the German company simply cannot design an ugly car. In fact, most are drop dead gorgeous, including the e-Tron Concept unveiled here. Yet there is one part of the e-Tron we&amp;#039;re not smitten with...that chrome grill. It looks almost dangerous, like a cross between a paper shredder and the krill-catching mouth of a blue whale. Ford Fiesta    The 2011 Ford Fiesta is a fun and youthful subcompact. But who decided that a very large, very chrome and very fake brake cooling inlet looks either fun or youthful? Not us. We&amp;#039;d swap this trim piece out for a black one within the first fifteen minutes that we left the dealership lot. Ford Super Duty    Ford has a large number of impressive new products this year. And we&amp;#039;ve awarded Ford with three PM Automotive Excellence Awards this year. So we don&amp;#039;t mind letting them know when they&amp;#039;ve gone a bit overboard with their branding. Automotive badges have been growing for years, but the size of the blue oval on the new 2011 Ford Super Duty might have crossed the line from large to ludicrous. That&amp;#039;s a folder for an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper. Enough said.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
