I tend to disagree with some of the choices - mainly the PT Cruiser, El Camino and Avalanche. Any other opinions?
edikroma
I don't disagree with a single one. Except maybe the Escalade...doesn't look any different than any other SUV, imo...

Mmm, I didn't spot an Edsel. An ugly car list without an Edsel on it fails. Well, it wasn't so much ugly as ugly for the time, entirely too late, but still, it needs to be there, it was a commercial flop, everyone hated it. tongue.gif

The Beetle one is stupid, the 7 series, the Enzo are what I disagree with most.
Duncan King
I totally disagree about the inclusion of the DeLorean. I <3 that car.
Arcturus Jefferson
The DeLorean? Really?
Mustakrakish II
I strongly disagree with a lot of this. And the rest is just common sense cause those cars look DUMB
Aya Reiko
I say blech at the list, I stopped when they listed the DeLorean.

Almost all of the commentary comes off as sour grapes 'cause car Y doesn't look exactly like car X.
Arcturus Jefferson
Really the only major problem with it I had was the DeLorean and maybe the El Camino. Though my dad had a Chevette when I was young and it wasn't that bad.

I think they were a little tough on some of the cars that are just "boring" and not "bad". But the PT Cruiser absolutely belongs into the latter.

The Escalade is pretty ugly, IMO. And I agree with this list, except for maybe the DeLorean.

They put the Plymouth Prowler in there?!? That list is junk.

the pinto's problem wasn't that it was ugly, it was that it exploded

This is a horrible list. They have a few great cars in there, like the Mustang, El Camino, 7 Series, they even have the Enzo in there? What kind of person would make a list like this?

Well, they were clear to point out that it was the Mustang 2, which didn't look that hot. And the Enzo is silly for a car to actually drive somewhere that isn't a racetrack.

I disagree with the Enzo and the H2.

This! It wasn't a bad aesthetic design, just a poor engineering one. Also, the Plymouth Prowler deserves to be purged from this Earth, it even sucked in Midtown Madness!

I agree with this as well. I have a model of the Prowler. I wub.gif it.

Oh, it's ugly. It's just that I don't think it's any uglier than any other SUV, meaning you can't put it on the list and not the others as well. Plus the reason they had for it being on the list had nothing to do with looks, and more to do with the fact that it was a plain vehicle that guzzled gas...

I agree, how dare they put the Volkswagen Thing on that list? I love that car's look.

And then they have the nerve to put the DeLorean DMC-12 on there, that's just criminal.

But the point was that it was ugly. I could probably find some way more ugly cars than the Enzo and the El Camino, which I don't think look that bad. At all.

Cars I disagree with:

Bricklin SV1 - I always liked how the doors were.
Delorean DMC-12 - Read Bricklin
Lamborghini LM002 - It just looks bad $@!.
Toyota RAV4
Plymouth Prowler - Retro goodness
PT Cruiser - Rode in one once. Was awesome.
Chevrolet Avalanche
Ferrari Enzo
Hummer H2
Chevrolet SSR - I don't know why, but I always did like that car.
Subaru Baja - Read: Chevy SSR

One car I always hated though were those box type cars that Scion seem to be well known for. There was another copy I remember too that made them. Hyaundai I think?
Roland Verne
The ugliest car?

Saab.
joebollman36
the last 25 weren't that bad.
Mustakrakish II
I jsut realized this didn't include the xB but did include one of the better looking cars in Scion's arsenal.
president allan
Unless I missed it, I reckon they should have included the Citroen Berlingo. Not because it's particularly ugly, but because everytime I have seen one the driver looks like Mr Magoo or Hans Moleman because of its odd proportions tongue.gif
Jens of the desert
How could they not like the Jenzo Ferrari?! Also the new Beetle doesn't belong there and I was expecting the multipla 110%.

Also, thank god they put all those American SUV's up there, it's about time you realized how ugly they are tongue.gif
Asriel Belacqua
I don't think a lot of those should've been up there. A lot of the ones they listed as "ugly" seemed more to me as "ugly now" but at the time, those styles were very "in." Even then, most of the cars aren't NEARLY as ugly as many others I could find.

Also: List included Delorean, PT Cruiser (which, while I don't like it, certainly isn't ugly), the Mustang (which was one of the uglier ones, yes, but definitely not the ugliest car), Enzo, heck, even the Pinto wasn't that bad looking <-- did blow up a lot though.
NewPoseidon
They're way too mean to the Subaru people. The Baja and Brat are pretty nice, in my opinion. I'm also perplexed why the Toyota IQ or El Camino are on the list. And can someone explain to me how the Ford Taurus is ugly? It seems pretty similar to a million other cars on the road.

As for the ugliest, they're some obvious Jetson-like travesties from the 60's that appear ludicrous. The H2 Hummer seems to scream "I have a small penis" while another car, the sparrow, seems to look like an infected one:



Bob Ilyani
Ferrari Enzo, DMC-12, Beetle, are just some of the many I disagree with. This list is not good.

^ Terrible,

I also want to say the Prowler, but it looks kind of good in that picture
Hyperbad
Volkswagen Thing makes me think we took a step back to the 1930s or 20s. I expect it to be in the next Mummy movie.

AMC Gremlin looks like a new age hearse.

And lets face it, while the DeLorean DMC-12 is cool, it is an eye sore.

ohmy.gif That made me cry inside but the bumper does look rather out of place and the grill could have been smaller.
Opethian
It can't be a true list of ugly cars without including the Mini Cooper.
Aloop
Felt like they tacked on about 30 random cars just to make it to 50. Terrible, terrible list.
Emperor Kameron
The Scion and any other awful boxy monstrosities the Japs import here.

First they bring their crappy cartoons here and now their crappy concept cars. Oh I'm not saying that all Japanese cars are crappy, I mean you can hardly break a Toyota but some of them are just flat out cheap and fugly...
