The Gaelandae wagon is one of my all-time favorite vehicles, even though its a bit outdated.

I agree that the GLK is the ugliest. Cute-ute much?

I think the vehicle is unique and obviously has a good reputation. For the money I would rather a Cayman S

Anyways for the ugliest SUV I would go with the ZDX (if you count those crossovers as SUVs)
The G-Wagen is badass whereas the xB is just bad.

Isn't this technically supposed to be a military vehicle? I guess so.

Apparently, this is the vehicle of choice for many armed forces internationally (such as the Österreichs Bundesheer of Austria and the Bundeswehr of Germany).

Anyways, this vehicle is not much on looks but more on toughness, durability and reliability for military applications.

Agreed. But the problem it's a Mercedes, so durability and reliability is average at best. But at least it's tough.

Agreed. But the problem it's a Mercedes, so durability and reliability is average at best. But at least it's tough. And in reality it's not likely to leave you stranded at the country club.

Always love the g wagon because of thier classic look and presence on the road.
Agreed.

Any discussion of the ugliest SUV in the world, automatically summons the Pontiac Aztek to win 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes, in a clean sweep.
