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!

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 *** body.

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

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

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.

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..
