Good performance apparently, but not my cup-of-tea design wise.
Seen this?

Looked nice in the thumbnails... then I clicked for a better view. Eeeek... I guess I would have done the styling different... but that's just
me. I think it's the high windshield base that gets me.

IMO.....
It was ugly before, but consistent...ugly front, ugly rear..
Now, well the same really...ugly all over...
Again, IMO....
Oy Vey! That is one F-ugly car.... Good performance apparently, but not my cup-of-tea design wise.
thats the old dax model
hardly a new model saw its debut in 1997 just hasn't been produced for a long time due to lack of takers originally
Correct Tim.
It used to have the ugly duck billed platypus front...now it has a different ugly front...
I have doubts about the legality of low headlight...
There is a difference between bold and futuristic stying and plain ugly...these guys seem unaware of that..

Actually most of the GA stuff was far nicer.....
Did Dax sell the Kamala off or did they split the company to make them? Just found an interesting point, kamala means hideous in Finnish.
The only real ugly part about it is the position of the headlamps. IMHO
Now, I like quirky,I like different,I liked the original Kamala for the above reasons. I don't like this evolution. They'll be heading on
their way to the bankruptcy courts before long,sadly, IMO,etc.
The doors for the Kamala,when Dax owned it cost a piddling £665+VAT IIRC,and they needed trimming as well.
You could build a car for that ,alledgedly

Any connection with the car in the pic that John "spunky" is using as avatar?

Looks quite similar to me..
I liked the old Kamala - not pretty, but eye-catching.
The new one stirs no emotions whatever, which is probably worse than hating it!

Spunky's avatar is a Midtec Spyder, and shown from it's only good
angle (for my taste at least). I think the profile and rear of the Midtec is quite unpleasant - think squashed frog!
The modified Kamala looks like a bad "futuristic" car from some cheap 1960's movie. Awful, awful, awful!!!! Did I mention I
don't like it
