    Remember folks, the VX won the Japan Car of the Year Award in '97/98, so how ugly could it really be? Or who is Yahoo's supposed expert? Are they better than the entire Japanese Automotive Press Corps? Probably not.....

    Citroen has to be the king of ugly cars, they've produced a bevy of ugliness over the years. This one has my vote. The 1971 Citroen, ugly coming and going.

    My Dad had a bunch of those and his '71 DS21 was the nicest. Funky looking cars and maintenance nightmare but man that thing was comfortable. Huge leg room and amazing suspension.

    Japan Car of the Year is decided among all Japanese cars during that time period. That means all Toyotas, Hondas (including NSX) etc. So, yes they are biased only in that the voting is limited to Japanese products. I'll add Japan is one of the most tasteful cultures on earth. they are savvy great design spotters.

    All I can say is that I get a lot of compliments from people about the VX. I've had people take pictures of it, ask where they can buy one, even offer to buy mine. Most common is "ITS A 2001? I THOUGHT IT WAS NEW!" Funniest were two young girls staying abreast of me and I could see the driver's lips mouthing, "What the hell is it?" They were so busy staring at it that I thought they would rear-end the car ahead of them.

    That would be the Dub-meister. I can't hold a candle to his greatness (& not just because of the methane).

    I don't know, but something doesn't look right about that photo. The windshield looks different and the rear quarter widow doesn't seem to flow properly with the body? The wheels don't help much either.

    But again, as I was leaving my local convience store/gas station on the way to my car a bunch of teens hollared out; "Hey what car is that?" After telling them, it was followed with, "Man thats a cool car!" I get that constantly, so its confirmation to me that I'm not the only person that loves it.
