Step up to the plate, what's the ugliest car on the road?

[Mad4Macs]

I vote for the Chevy Malibu Maxx. What were the designers thinking???
:confused:

[Petrograde]

any of the new 'box' mini-suv's .... :puke: i.e.... Honda Element, uhh,.. hmm,... there's a few more that are so forgetable I can't remember the makes. :P

oh yeah,... and the POS Chevy(?) Aztec... damn! thats ugly! WTF were they thinking?!!!

My vote has to go to either the Pontiac Aztec or the Toyota Matrix. But in saying anything not Union made is ugly to me.

[Petrograde]

ahhh,... Pontiac! thanks UAW588!

[FiveO]

The new 300 from Chrysler....

Aztec is a distant 2nd.

[Constable]

No contest.... SCION XB

[BillyGman]

That's a really tough one to answer since there are sooooooo many ugly lookin ones being made now......kinda makes you wonder how many drugs the style designers'/engineers' Psychiatrists must have them on. :rolleyes:


It also makes you appreciate your Marauder all the more. What a great lookin car. :up:

[CRUZTAKER]

the Aztek....:puke:

[Bigdogjim]

If it's got wheels it all good!

Fresh minds........fresh ideas:):):)

[chrish]

No contest.... SCION XB
cconstable : Is your avatar one of the poor orphans running the Disneyword lights? I have a home for little orphans like this. wrer is the rest of the poor souls picture? :censor: ?

[Tallboy]

the honda element. [sometimes, at night, i can still hear the screaming.]:eek:

[Bluerauder]

On my personal ugly meter: :puke:

1. Pontiac Aztek 99%
2. Scion xB 96%
3. Honda Element 95%
4. Chrysler 300C 92%
5. 1958 Ford Edsel 90%

[MARAUDER S/C #5]

Mini Cooper (clown car) :nono: :puke:

[QWK SVT]

The Asstec if awful looking, and was the reigning champ...

[QWK SVT]

Look on the bright side - this (Fiat Multipla) is only available on the other side of the pond!
http://www.fiat.com.ro/want/images/multipla.jpg

It looks better, in this view:

[BillyGman]

Very well put QWK SVT. :)

[rayjay]

Asstik, what on earth were they smoking when they designed it???

[MENINBLK]

I gotta agree with you guys.
Some of these designers have to stop smoking their designer drugs... :pimp:

Late last week, I was going through a White Castle's drive through,
and a guy walked past my Marauder, looked at me and said,
"That be ONE GOOD LOOKIN' car !!!".

[jgc61sr2002]

Aztek - IMO has to be the worst.

[teamrope]

For 2003-2004, it's an all way tie....Anything that does not have Godshead center caps! :P

[Redster]

Aztek is real bad, I think their guys took breaks smoking dope with the Avalanche guys.

Citroen seems to have a good handle on ugly. You ever see that small one? It's in one of the James Bond movies.

Of course Citroen is French so what do you expect. Their women make up for it. (if you like hairy armpits)

[Ladyhawke]

Another vote for the Element. :eek:

[duhtroll]

2004 GTO. Voted because of what it COULD or SHOULD have been.

I also put my vote in for the toaster, er, Element as well.

-A

[Silver_04]

Any Toyota-YUCK!

The Aztek is a very close 2nd. When they are done making the last Aztek, the end of production ceremony should include bashing the last Aztek with bats and sledge hammers to put it and the American car buying public out of their misery.

[chrish]

How is the aztec still in production? merc couldn't sell the MM but pontiac must sell them. Hyunda has a two door econo boy that is real hard on the eyes, not to mention the stomach.... :bandit: :

[Joe Walsh]

Gentlemen, Gentlemen, Gentlemen*, I hate to correct all of you BUT it is a Honda EXCREMENT, not an ELEMENT. I recently saw one that looked like a saddle shoe...remember them? The SCION is a close 2nd. Luckily almost all the AZTECS are in the junk yard. I agree with the Chevy AVALANCHE, I call it 'THE AVALANCHE OF PLASTIC PARTS' !
*SORRY Ladyhawke I didn't want to exclude you.

[UAW 588]

I forgot to add one more car. Who could forget the ugliest car to come out of the 1980's, the YUGO!!!!!!!!!!! :puke:

[UAW 588]

I agree with the Chevy AVALANCHE, I call it 'THE AVALANCHE OF PLASTIC PARTS' !
Joe

Ya, all those nice plastic body side moldings to cover up all the defects in the sheet metal, that came from their stamping plants. :lol:

[Joe Walsh]

Plus, when you convert the AVALANCHE to a pick-up there is NO WAY to close off the driver's compartment...Imagine trying to haul dirt or hay down the road at @ 50 mph!!! " GM ; WE SWEAT THE RECALLS"

[Patrick]

You forgot about the cow manure!!!!!!!! :cry:

[Joe Walsh]

YESSS, pulling an emergency stop with a load of cow manure...it would be like the 'Back to the Future' movie.

[Bigdogjim]

For 2003-2004, it's an all way tie....Anything that does not have Godshead center caps! :P

I agree....... :bows: :beer: :beer:

Now on to Indy :baaa: :baaa:

[UAW 588]

I guess it would for all the "BUTTHEADS" that drive them. Maybe if they stepped up to a F-150 they wouldn't have that problem, now would they.

[BillyGman]

......I also put my vote in for the toaster, er, Element as well.

-A

LOL!!! That's the funniest thing I've read on here in awhile!!!! Yeah, just cut two sloted holes in the roof, and put two giant slices of bread on the thing, and it will fit right in. :baaa: :baaa: :baaa:


As for the Yugo, and the Gremlin, as bad as they both were, they looked better than many of the cars do these days.

[Blue03]

For me its a 3 way tie for "in production" uglys...The two tone Element, the Scion XB crate on wheels and for several years runnin the ode to ugly Aztec. Also don't forget some of those early Saabs and the VW Thing.

[drgnrdr33]

Aztek, Element, and Scion are a tie. Probably the same design team went from company to company and got fired from each.

Had to follow a slow going Scion a few miles today in LA traffic until I could get around the punk ricer and get away from his dopey car.

[67435animal]

Lexus SC430. Yeck!

[Dan]

I am right there with the rest, the AsTic is so ugly its FUGLY.

I am going to catch flack for saying this but I have alwasy felt that the caprice and roadmaster were ugly cars. From the days of the box bodied ones to the whale bodied days I thought they were ugly. (This does not change the props I give to the SS owners.)

Now they look ok but at least they used to have something that made them stand out. Now, it is hard to tell any of them from the other.

I am quite surprised that the PACER hasn't been on this list yet. Maybe I missed it. Imagine the cost of window tinting on that. The Pacer was a rolling greenhouse.

What about the Subaru Brat, the Justy and just about any oher Subaru car from the 70's to the 80's.

As I recall the Honda CVCC was pretty ugly.

Oooh, and what about the Cadillac Cavalier? I think that they called it the Cimeron, didn't they? It looked like someone crushed the trunk on the thing. They shoulda crushed the rest, too. :)

Now I am on a roll. Does anyone recall the Buick Reatta? How about the Ford EXP (the one with the eyelids) and the Probe? YECH! The Pinto?

So many ugly cars, so little time. :)

Best,

Dan

The Citroen. A French made car. How does one say butt ugly in French?
http://home.pon.net/hunnicutt/images/CitroenDS.jpg

Never shoulda got me started. :)

Read this...

http://www.rawbw.com/~marka/cgi-bin/genpage.cgi/geek/uglycars.html

And just to be fair, I LOVE BMWs but I think that the newer 7 series is very, very ugly.

[BillyGman]

I think our Marauders look better than any Impala SS ever made, or any Buick Roadmaster, but I must admit that this Impala SS in this pic looks pretty good. This is owned by one of the guys from the Impala SS board.......

[Mad4Macs]

You guys reminded me that we have an Element around here, somewhere, with custom plates.
They read "FOXNBOX".
I laughed my arse off while following that one!

[Bluerauder]

Dont forget the GREMLIN!!
:eek: :eek:
Patrick,
I agree that the AMC Gremlin was ugly; but I drove one for 2 years in Army Recruiting and it was a real runner mileage-wise. Put close to 50,000 miles on in 2 years and had not one problem at all. Even got to start liking it despite the chopped rear and landing field hood.

[MARAUDER S/C #5]

Let's not forget the Hummer. Bigger=more ugliness. One BIG rolling mass of ugly.

I also nominate the Avalanche. It looks like it doesn't know if its coming or going.

And yes, the VW bug is also quite foolish looking.

But hey, its easy for us to make fun of other cars when we have Marauders!:up:

[Silver_04]

I had to drive and Aztek right after they came out for a radio validation test. Everyone kept staring at me, pointing and laughing, so I made a big sign and put it in the rear window and it read, "Company Fleet Vehicle, Not Mine...Please Disperse." People seemed to understand.

[BillyGman]

Hey, speaking of AMC cars like the Gremlin, do you guys remember the fishbowl on wheels? The "Pacer"?

[MARAUDER S/C #5]

Hey, speaking of AMC cars like the Gremlin, do you guys remember the fishbowl on wheels? The "Pacer"?
Like the one in the movie Wayne's World! :up: :lol:

[mad man]

Hey, speaking of AMC cars like the Gremlin, do you guys remember the fishbowl on wheels? The "Pacer"?A long time ago when i was in the army. A sargent in my unit bought one new. It was a bigger joke then. :shot:

Man! You should make that your tagline!!!

[the_pack_rat]

I think my man Maddox has some pretty good opinions on this subject ...

http://maddox.xmission.com/c.cgi?u=ugly_cars

His - "The Gary Busey scale of ugliness" is just too damn funny.

[Fourth Horseman]

any of the new 'box' mini-suv's .... :puke: i.e.... Honda Element, uhh,.. hmm,... there's a few more that are so forgetable I can't remember the makes.

I'm with that. Honda Element... :puke:

Speaking of Maddox, I can't believe how popular that guy is. I'm a sys admin at XMission, the ISP that hosts him, and you wouldn't believe how many hits a day that guy's page gets. We had to move him off of the main server we have for our non-domain ( ~ ) users because it was clobbering the machine. :shake:

[Marc]

The Honda Element and whatever an ex-girlfriend is driving.

Unless, of course, she's driving YOUR Marauder ;)

[2003_MM_FYRE49]

Let's not for get the Murano, I think Nissan makes that rolling piece of barf. My next door neighbor has one, I'm not sure if its the neighbor or looking at that :puke: bucket that gives me a queezy feeling...

[merc406]

Any car made by Renault

Nissan builds a bunch of ugly ones. The expensive ones get the Infiniti label.

I don't know. There's some <ahem> ugly ones in my past. In any event, the wife barely gets to drive it now, so a girlfriend (an ex especially) would never be granted the privledge.

[Amsoil_Dealer]

I agree with Fiat Multipla......That is one ugly muh ****a. Although they are not available in the US so most people have never seen one. For US delivered cars I agree with the Aztec and Elements as being the most current ugly cars.

Some folks mentioned Gremlins and Pacers. Just about any AMC car (except the 65 Marlin and 69 AMX) were ugly cars. The ugliest of the Ugly though was the 73-75 Matador..... :puke: ...Even the colors were ugly.

Don

[duhtroll]

The funnier part of that is that my friend who owns one calls it that and that's where I learned it. He bought it because he said his interior is like that of a Jeep - it has holes in the floor (no carpet) and he just hoses it out whenever his kid gets messy in the back of it (young child for all you gutter-minds).
