Talking What's the Ugliest Car Ever Built?

Not the riciest, or the worst mods, or the most trashed - but the ugliest, right from the factory?

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

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.

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.

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.
