Find a pic of your candidate for Ugliest Ever, and post it here!

Remembering that one man's sweathog is another man's dream, you will undoubtedly offend *somebody* with your post - but of course, that's the whole idea - -

My candidate from the current crop:

The Pontiac Aztek

My candidate from years past:

the Triumph Herald

I cant find any pics because my resources are limited, but has anyone ever seen the new Saturns or Honda Insights?

ok, toog has nominated the new Saturn - this is the Ion

and the Honda Insight - a worthy candidate

i agree with the pontiac aztek...its sooo damn ugly

Not a big fan of the echo myself. I don't think the Ion is too bad looking for a saturn. A very entertaining thread idea strongsail, glad you thought of this.

ah, the pickings are rich and lush - thankyou google images

the first fwd us car in 30 years, the '67 Toronado

cute blonde, cute dogs, ugly Unimog. Most ugly vehicles are unintentionally so, the Unimog is ugly on purpose

This is GUARANTEED to offend some people here, but I do think it is so ugly that it doesn't deserve the "L" it wears...

LOL

it's definitely not the best looking Lexus for some people, but it's also definitely not the ugliest car ever built.

My vote goes to Aztek. Looks like it was a nicely designed car/van on the blueprint, then they crumbled it up and make it go into production all crumbled.

before i even opened this thread to read it, my vote was already cast for the Aztek....looks like several agree

as for the SC430....i think it looks darn good

predecessor to the M3

The Buick Rendezvous is even more hideous. Sheesh, I know all these families who are going out and buying them because they are "Cheap" and luxurious. Yes, they are quit comfortable, but for god sakes... its like driving a ****in tent on wheels.

Line up every American made automobile from 1971 to 1983.

7 out of 10 of them could qualify, particularly with the advent of the 5mph bumper.

In this illustration, GM was so enamoured with the stylish boat-tail of the '71 Riviera, that 2 years later, they moved it to the front of the '73 Grand Am.

I nominate this car, the Fiat Multipla.
Just be glad you guys don't get this one.

http://www.leaseconcept.nl/inhoudlc/info/autonieuws/getest/archief/Multipla.jpg

Here's the Buick Rendezvous. Looks like it may share its platform with the Aztek - ?? Damn near as ugly...

I think the DeLorean is ugly and impractical

I would go back to the future and do some re-styling.

No wonder it didn't sell

I dont have a picture but I agree with the AMC Pacer pic genearch posted above. 2nd on my list would be the Gremlin!

They made a couple of 24K gold-plated Deloreans...I think they were priced at something like $80K. If someone told me they had a gold Delorean, I would call them a retard and kick them in their teeth. What a waste of money. :rolleyes:

Meet the Aztek's new friend.

I like the sc430...hate the wheels!!
I like the delorean too, can't beat the stainless body!!! plus gulwing doors!!! I almost bought one, but insurance and quality prevented me from being stupid...maybe if it was japanese :D

I really dislike the Chevy Monte Carlo:

Cant stand the Isuzu Vehicross either :

I never really liked the land rover discovery II either.

the New Impala gets my vote.

Aztec and Rendezvous get my votes for current cars, that Isuzu is damn ugly too.

I agree that the SC430 looks much nicer with some new wheels.

I saw one of those Monte Carlo's that I really liked, dark green with a nice set of 18's. Probably changed my mind on that car.

Speaking of the Delorean,
did you know its top speed is 85? Beverly Hills Ford has one sitting in their lot and I took a seat in it. Its a pretty cool car, but it is damn slow!

I think this car has got to be in the top 10. The Toyota Echo... YUCK!!!

my vote: that ford mustang that they had some 20+years ago?? i dont know exactly what year but does anyone know what im talking about? the mustang that doesnt seem like a mustang, its more like a granny car. and btw, monte carlo i think looks good in black, lowered, with goodyear yellow lettering, or better yet, in nascar.

i dont like the goofy looking mercedes mini van lookngi thing
i cant find a pic right now
but its pretty ugly
along with that new hatchback thing benz is making

I'd put the new BMW 7 in the running. I think it's a love-it-or-hate-it design. I pretty much don't like it. The trunk especially...what were they thinking!! What is I-Drive all about...sheesh!:rolleyes:

oh whew. found year of said ugly mustang. specific years are 1974-1978 or so. anyone able to get nice, juicy ugly shots of this?

73' was the last year of the Mustang muscle cars. Everything after that got ugly. The 74' looks like the LX, but with a bigger rear end, granny rims, and just a plain old ugly ass body.

Pacer Patrol! Hmmm, I wonder why AMC never made it in the commercial vehicle sales :p

My candidate from the current crop:

The Pontiac Aztek


I was thinking of an Aztec as soon as i read the thread title!,...

Damm.. that Asstek was ugly as hell....sure they are alot of ugly car over the years.. but style and taste changes.. so.. lets focus on recent year.. people...

Asstek all the way to to top ugliest car chart...

Not so much ugly on the outside as it is on the inside. It's okay for an F-350 work truck, but not an oversized SUV. But, hey, did you hear...Ford will be discontinuing this big bastard. Sales are down, and it's just too darn big. They should not have tried to makes it bigger than the suburban, just better.

Oh, and I can't leave out Ford's happy pumpkin!

The mountaneer isnt so bad. The Aztek is disgusting, and the point of the Excursion was not to look good, but to haul good, and it does just that.

The Excursion may haul, but not good enough to keep sales up. Waive bye-bye to Ford's monster. I doubt Ford's engineer's wanted the Excursion to look plain and/or ugly, but it's cheaper to share the F250/350's dash.

So that's what they did. A 40+k SUV for soccer moms to have a work truck dash and poor suspension characteristics. But, you can have a diesel to carry the kids to school in!

Iirregardless, styling is completely subjective and those are my meager opinions ;)

I respect your opinion, but I hope it is not because of sales. People have said it before and it is entriely true. Just because a car does not sell does not mean its no good.

Here's another one on my list. The Chevy Avalanche. YUCK
You would have to use a full bottle of Armor All to clean all that plastic.. :D

yeah!! those were the mustang pics i was talking about. a lotta foreign cars are ugly, maybe its becuse we r not used to them and what not. this might upset people but i dont like the infiniti j30 either, although there are many cars that are to the "n"th degree uglier. i just saw one so i nominated it.
btw doesnt the black or silver avalanche use less plastic than the other colors? i forgot which color...i think it uses a chrome bumper. correct me if im wrong please

Toog4me, I just like to pick on the Excursion. It really doesn't look that bad on the outside. It's just that Ford tried to out-do GM. GM held the market on the full-size SUV's with the Suburban and it seemed that Ford tried to do it up bigger, but it didn't come out better. The Suburban, IMO, is just a better vehicle.

As for the Avalanche, I thought that think was hideous at first, but it has grown on me. Put some 20's on it and it's not so bad...not practical, but looks better. Also GM has models out in showrooms now that don't have all that body cladding. IMO it looks much MUCH better painted. On second thought, it may just be the dealer in my area having the cladding painted. Either way, it's coming from the factory sooner or later. You can thank Bob Lutz for that...or not. But he's the reason.

Here is an example of (1) painted cladding and (2) larger wheels. GM's full-size trucks have such large fender wells that they are better suited, at least visually, for larger wheels and tires.

The suburban is by far a nicer and better looking car than the Excursion. Can you say 10 MPG? (in the excursion)

Funk Master Flex has a nice ass Excursion and Bhusta Rhymes also had a nice one in the Mountain Dew commercial.

Friend of mine calls it the "Extrusion" - like when a dog sh1ts on your lawn, that's extrusion at work - - 19 feet long, 7000 pounds, foo foo interior, whatta grocery hauler, good riddance

You guys beat me to the Pacers and Gremlins of the world so VOILA- '90(I THINK) FORD Festiva(manufactured by KIA).

hey strongsail, isnt that the car urkel had on family matters

Yes, the BMW Izetta.

my vote goes for the obvious aztek but also the mb c class and the new ford thunderbird

The new ford thunderbird? I agree with u about the Aztec and the C class, and I think the SLK is ugly too, but the ford thunderbird looks so classy in my opinion, really shows the roots of the car and is nice for all kids of people

The thing, for me, that really took the work "class" out of the new Thunderbird was looking through the grill on the front bumper. Go check one out. You can see the foam behind the bumper through the grill...very poor desing IMO.

Yeah, I forgot how ugly the avalance is

av·a·lanche Pronunciation Key (v-lnch)
n.
A fall or slide of a large mass, as of snow or rock, down a mountainside.
A massive or overwhelming amount; a flood: received an avalanche of mail.

Other words for "Avalanche"

Redundance
Excerpt: "...; inundation (water) ; avalanche. accumulation (store) ; heap..."

I wonder why the truck got it's name.

Uglieast car ever would have to be a subaru of just about any given year, like my '88 rx

Let's get Dodge in on this.... It will take some Kahunas to try and sell this thing!


And I recently saw the Chevy SSR at a local car show. Yuck! The build quality was awful.

Also that Honda Element is a dog IMHO....

However, I think Darius may have a winner!

Honda Element and the small C class with the glass roof are both terrible

The BMW 3 series from the early 90's, the one with the chopped off rear end, 318ti maybe, boy are they ugly

and for those of you defending the new Ford Thunderbird, just look what happens when it falls into the wrong hands:egads:

:egads: That must be Infiniti's version of the new Pathfinder Armada; it's HIDEOUS! The Pathfinder Armada looks ok, it's powerful though.

I think both look pretty bad, especially from the side. the QX4 is nice though!

Coutn another vote for the new Thunderbird. It is beyond hideous up close and personal.

Strongsail has it right....the BMW Isetta (pictured), the similiar but tandem-seat Messerschmitt KR200, and the electric one-seat Corbin Sparrow are the best candidates for the Ugly Car award.

Im surprised the first generation Q45 didnt make it in here... I like the car alot, and the styling actually grows on ya, but the front end just has a wierd look to it without a grill that came in 94.

Also, Doesn't anyone hate the 02+ camrys? Those things look so much worse than the previous two generations...

Got to agree about the 02+ Camry - Me and my sons refer to them as the Toyota "slabsider" Of course it seems like all production cars are going tall and bulbous. What happened to low and sleek?

Here is an ugly one.

It seems like to me that automakers may be looking at the reason why people prefer the ride height and roominess of SUV's and Minivans and are trying to replicate that in their cars.

BTW, i DO LIKE this Visage Camry kit:

http://www.carismaautotec.com/IMAGES/nkit_camry.gif

anything a car maker produces and names "Thing" must be nominated :D

True! The thing looks like a convertible lunch box.

That SERO is undescriably Ugly - The only thing it resembles to me is one of those Deep Sea Monster Fish that makes it own Light...:o :thumbdn: :eek2:

People are getting taller and fatter. Low and sleek doesn't fit.

yeah, i definitly like that 02+ camry with the body kit and drop....

In regards to the original thread.... I think the FERRARI ENZO is one of the ugliest cars ever... sure, it's got great performance, but its ugly... just my opinion and I know there are alot of people who disagree, but i think its UGLY...

The Edsel

http://www.edmunds.com/media/editorial/motorcitymusings/gmuncoversthesecretsoftheaztekgraveyard/58.edsel.front.museum.350.jpg

I read somewhere that the reason these cars are so ugly is because of the fact that they are love it or hate it designs.... the toyota camrys and honda accords sell, and everyone has one.... people want to be different, so they find one of these cars that appeals to them (yes some people like them, i like the 745 now, didnt use to... especially the facelift that is coming out next year) and they buy these cars. some people actually like the look of the aztek, although most dont...

response to the new Q45, it looks like it has downsyndrome, sorry if that offends anyone....

did anyone mention the infiniti M45? or the FX45?

ugly cars on my list

g35 sedan (coupe is OK)

any economy car that stole the exact look of a luxury car -
examples -

new hyundai that has bentley tail lights and profile
mitsubishi outlander that looks like a beat up rx300 (almost exact tail lights)
any mitsubishi that from far away and at first glance, i mistake for a bmw (diamante)
