A500 was a nice machine, but it was never going to win any style awards with it's "melted Commodore 128" styling

A600 & 1200 was more traditional looking Commodore machine really, I suppose there are shades of Commodore Plus/4 to the rear slats on the A500 but the design is just not really assertive enough for me personally. Actually both the A500 and A2000 were pretty non-descript styling wise IMO.
