I've learned to never judge a car by photos. Often photos and videos have wide angles which distort the car's features. When I take photos of my cars, I always use a telephoto lens from as far away as possible to get the most neutral shots and it makes a huge difference in how a car looks. That's why shots of cars with smartphones usually look so bad, because they are usually fairly wide lenses.
I thought the Alfa Giulia is a good example of this. It often looks bad in photos, but in person it looks much better. It also has a similarly weird looking grille which most Americans weren't used to at the time unless they'd watched James Bond movies.
