Whoever designed the Pontiac Aztek (#2 on the list, #1 in my book) should be taken out back and beat up.
I had #5 on the list, in my defense, it was given to me. I gave it back.
They missed a lot of modern day cars, that hideous Nissan Cube should be listed as well as a couple of Scion models.
-
I'll surely agree with you on the Aztec. When I'm following one down the highway I try to imagine what the conversation was during the purchase....I still haven't come up with one that follows any kind of logic.
The AMC Eagle was a real gem. My now wife drove her mother's in high school... there wasn't even room to mess around in it.
My son really loves the Prius. He wonders what kind of drugs the Toyota 'geers were on when they came up with a design like that.
-
Whoa here! I like the design of the Gen II Prius. Gen III not so much. Verdict is still out on the new Gens.
-
I don't know, some of these recent generation SUV/crossovers that look like oversized, squashed bugs (e.g. Nissan Murano) make me want to vomit more than any of the contenders in that list.

Uh huh, that's what the folks who bought Azteks said too. ;)

I agree that all those cars were horrid to look at, but could add another 50 to the list.
You couldn't count 10 good looking cars from the 80's. ::)
At least from this side of the pond.

It's just a Pontiac LeMans on steroids.

Maybe its not sold in America but I think Citroen has made some of the most hideous cars ever made.

AMC Pacer... Made the Gremlin look good !!!

What do you mean again? That implies that it was awesome at some point in time right?
-

They just wanted their gold and wiminz.

Pontiac Tran Sport - van thingie looks like the space shuttle.
-
I have a buddy that ran an interior house painting service. For a long time all he bought was Azteks. Since no one wanted them he would buy the last three or four left overs off the dealers lot after the new ones were out for 6 months or so. He would get them really cheap and even though they were parked at his business overnight in a high crime area, no one ever broke in or stole any of them. The beauty of the Aztek cars was inner beauty in his eyes.

60's Olds Toronado.
70's AMC Matador.
80's Cadillac Seville.
90's PC Cruiser or Aztek
Now Nissan Juke.

I never realized how VW bug shaped that car is, but somehow looks so much worse.
-
I didnt have a Pacer or a Gremlin, but my first car was an AMC Spirit. At the time, I thought I was pretty darn cool.....looking back now....... not so much.

I owned a Pacer X. It was a motorized aquarium. Shoulda bought stock in Windex. Grossly underpowered. 4 adults and would maybe do 80 on level ground downwind. Good for sightseeing though!

Perhaps not but J. Lo looked pretty good in the Fiat 500 commercial.

I hate that car as much as Walt Jr. loves breakfast. And that's a lot.
But the car wasn't really ever that awesome.
I think my top 5 ugly cars of the past 10 years goes as follows:
Aztec
Prius (Generation 1, 2 and 3. It doesn't matter. Generation 1 looks like an Echo.)
Chrysler PT Cruiser
Chrysler Prowler
Chrysler Crossfire (hardtop)
Honerable Mentions:
Nissan Juke because it's ugly.
Toyota Camry (Any year) because it's styling is soooo bland and performance so wretched.
Toyota Corolla (Any year) because it's styling is almost as bland as the Camry, but the performance is more than lacking.
Hyundai Sonata (1996-2010) because it's bland but not as boring to drive as say... A Camry.
Honda Civic because it's bland, boring and although it's never meant to perform, rice boys seem to think it's some sort of Mustang ripping bad-ass for a car after they put a feaux hood scoop here, a fart canon there and a boeing 747 wing on the rear and that "teh V-TEC, yo" is some sort of gift from the Flying Spaghetti Monster, even though it's just a fancy word for Variable Valve Timing, something many new cars use. Sadly, I have to go to school with these kinds of people.
Don't get me wrong, I like the Sonata, Camry, Corolla and Civic because they do the job they're supposed to do: get from A to B with great gas mileage, but what I don't like is all the wonderful things people say about these cars and that they're not what they COULD have been. I KNOW Toyota has the ability to do so much more than make a bland 4 door car that is about as fun to drive as, well, a Camry. And Honda, for God's sake, they make killer bikes, why not make some killer 2/4 door cars that re quick and get great gas mileage? I know they can do it.
Hyundai has stepped up their game (look at the 2011 Sonata and the Genesis), and I applaud them.

The new models from Acura may be just the ticket. Of course plan to bring money.

Are they going to be front-wheel drive?

Good question. I know the NSX will be all wheel drive.

C'mon dude! DO NOT mention the NSX in a ugly car thread! ;)

Man, when the car looks like this, you don't need pretty girls. Not even Asians. (did I just say that?)

Trudat J! A little T&A never hurts anything, that is unless the wife catches you lookin. :o
-
Cars that look like that NSX I agree don't need girls. But the amazing thing is you will always see them around 'em =)
-
I love all the weird vehicles, the jukes, Aztecs, Souls, Scions and the like. What I hate is all the sedans and SUV's that look exactly the same except with a different badge on it. I like to be different, and be able to find my car in a line up. Would I spend 20k on an Aztec? Heck no, but I wouldn't on any car right now. I currently drive a Suzuki Reno hatch which looks like a really long egg, but its paid off and still runs, so I aint complaining :)

The 1960's Citroen were so far advanced that people didn't know what to think about them.

So does the vibrator in front cause gas out the back?

Come on man, I cannot believe that nobody has brought up the Scion XB. That has to be one of the most FUGLY cars I have seen.

I don't believe the extremely ugly Smart cars have been mentioned. I feel safer on the C14 than in that golf cart, since I can get out of the way quickly!

I parked next to one of those the other day. I think that my C14 is larger than that lil car!
