BEST & WORST Car Rear light design

Prass · 10th November 2008, 18:54

I think the current Santro's tail lamps, a bad design. Whenever a Santro guy at the front breaks and then takes off, i feel the 'persistence of vision' of my eyes has minutes left. Is that the problem of my eyes?

Best : Maruti Suzuki Esteem (esp the Reverse Gear Lights in 3 stripes)
Worst: Baleno and of course VERSA

The worst definitely has to go to Hyundai Santro and Scorpio.
Whats the need for so much of light.?

My pick for the best tail lamp concept (not an in india available car though)
Lamborghini Revention
Simple, Functional and out of the world !!

Best In India for a sub ten lakh car - VW Polo
Best on a car more than ten lakhs - Merc E class Coupe

Best:
The current Rolls Royce Silver Seraph.These look much better than even the current Rolls Phantom's.

Worst:
The pre-Manza Tata Indigo LS/LX etc. This cluster of tail lamps were introduced sometime in 2007 or so. Looks very garish.
