    Business Week's 50 Ugliest Cars of the Past 50 Years: A Half-Century of Automotive Eyesores
    The Linky

    (of course) No Vehicross on this list

    There are many design duds on this list

    I don't think the Ferrari Enzo is one of them

    The DeLorean doesn't belong on the list. How else are you going to time travel?

    I would happily own any of the following:

    Lambo LM002
    VW Thing
    Toyota 2-Door RAV4
    Suzuki X-90

    The last two are so cheap that I'm keeping an eye out for a clean one to use as a commuter vehicle.

    Worst in my book:



    Btw, do you guys see the resemblence as much as I do?

    The list is utter nonsense, more vacuous than a Tiger Beat "10 Ways to Make Your BF Jealous" article. The "author's" rather obvious methodology:
    1. Pick the low hanging fruit: Anything widely panned by the auto industry. Thus: Aztek, et all.
    2. Pick anything vaguely unique or interesting that is outside the mainstream. Thus: Prowler, El Camino, etc. Ignore contributions to the industry that these unique vehicles made.
    3. Pick widely popular best seller just so we can show what rebels we are. "Look, I put the enormously popular RAV 4 on the list! I'm such an iconoclast!"
    4. Enjoy massive linkage from any auto enthusiast site as actual people who know something about the list castigate it for what it included and what it did not.
    5. Profit!

    In short: B.S.

    yeah who uses a car to get groceries? Oh wait 99% of the population. But still just cause it is functional and tons of people liked it enough to pay $20,000 doesnt mean its not ugly. Where in the article does it mention price?

    Where was the price thing in the list again? Oh it wasnt. So good looks means ugly? bad means good oh boy I am hip
