100 ugliest cars ?

[mdwyer]

oh thats such a load of crap...
i think the evo is beautifully designed car....

Maybe I just like 'ugly' cars...

When I bought my Subaru, I was intentionally looking for something that looked like nothing else on the road. So, I got one of the few GC6 Imprezas, back when the Lancer in the US was still an underpowered grocery-getter.

When everybody ELSE was getting Subarus and I no longer had a unique car, I found myself in the market for a VX.

The new Subarus, I think, now look too boring. They compounded that silly Neon headlight problem with the same jelly-bean shape mini-wagon that's flooded the market. I'm not even going to mention the Tribeca, except to say it is kind of nice inside, I suppose. Subaru lost the plot. The Mitsu Evo, though, looks like a proper sporty car, now. I like it. It isn't an Exige, but it'll do.

PS: Speaking of blue subarus, there's also that nasty of habit of the local chav kids of wraping their blue subarus around light poles at triple-digit speeds...

thanks for the link on this article. It's always interesting seeing what people on the other side of the pond think about cars. There were many surprising choices I thought and not enought truly goofy ones that died a justifiably quick death. I had to laugh at the Aztek though, Americans themselves like to give it a good tongue lashing and It hought it was funny that we agreed with the Brits on that one. It had some interesting features, but I can't imagine seeing the prototype and NOT thinking, "man, this just isn't a very attractive vehicle".

Haven't visited the site for quite a while and was suprised to see the article from the Telegraph. Had a great laugh at the other commentors in the thread. As a token Brit I'd like to defend British design............... but can't, we've made some god awful cars and now have no British owned car manufacturing to go with it. As can be seen from the top 20 the 80's were a bad time here. That being said we do have a few gems TVR or Lotus? OK so they don't run that well but at least their pretty.

There were certainly quite a few dogs on that list, and the Aztec fits at the top, but then there were some absolutely beautiful cars in that list, too. Lexus 430SC, Porsche Boxster, BMW 6-series, Jaguar XJ-S!! These don't belong on the list. The VehiCROSS doesn't earn a spot on this list either.

When the Aztec first came out...all I could think of was that darn station wagon the Griswolds piled into in the first "Vacation" movie with Chevy Chase.

Just ask Etlsport - about a certain black Subaru rolling a few times!

Too bad they arent wrapping Prius' around light poles, especially blue ones,
not black Prius, not red Prius, but blue Prius. But not really a blue Prius, more of a "BLUE" Prius.

... I used to pick Priuses out of the fangs of my VX.
