10 of the Ugliest Cars Sold in America

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.

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

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. 
Yep, still riding the old one
