Ugliest Car

I'm kinda partial to the Pinto, myself. The Pacer/Gremlin I agree with, but, there was a styling exercise by AMC for a Pacer off road style vehicle (like a Jeep) that looked quite good. Pontiac Aztek was pretty bad, or second gen Chevy Malibu back about 10 years ago.

   Chrysler,(I think),  the K car. On sale in 1986 at your local K mart for just 6995.

Anybody remember the Yugo?

OMG we had those for certain plain clothes units at work along with the Omni.

   About the only attention either on would attract is a tow truck LOL, if memory serves.

So am I! I was the pround owner of a 76 Pinto Wagon with the V-6 engine. I drove her until she died. Loved driving that car especially in the winter. I would pass 4x4 trucks and jeeps left and right. I wanted to drop a 289 into her but didn't have the time or money but I did have the engine. 

My vote for ugliest goes to the AMC Pacer! Just don't tell my Wife or my Dad.

I'll drop a vote for the Nissan Juke. It looks like two cars merged into one by a Star Trek transporter malfunction.

With it's "Spunky" three cylinder's....

The very first mini-vans ( Dodge ? )  were gawd-awful ugly !

But I think, for me, The "ugliest" car was the Renault  Le - car.

  My high school best friend had a Yugo, spunky is the word I might have used....only to be nice. Both of us easily had a combined weight of over 500lbs, poor little Yugo never did drive right after a night of cruising for chicks on Sherman Ave.

     Another ugly car to me is the Opel, to me it looked like a tongue with a cough drop stuck on the back.

Yea.... but stick a 426 hemi with a Blower in it and it get's very cool indeed.

I love the old Opel GT, looks like a baby Corvette.

   Indeed, at least at that speed I don't have to look at it long LOL.

Yeah, the 78-79 Cutlass Salon.

Hi,

To be honest, if I had to pick a car that I didn't think was very good looking, I'd probably go for certain modern really expensive sports cars.  While I definitely think that there are many very attractive expensive cars, for others I am left wondering if the designers just decided to make their cars look as outlandish as possible just because they could.  Specifically, I really don't care much at all for the Bugatti Veyron and Chiron models (shown below).

In addition, the SSC Tuatara (below) almost looks to me as if someone took a 1970 Hotwheels toy car and just scaled it up, while the Lamborghini (in the 2nd picture below) looks to me like something copied from the old Speed Racer cartoon.

I never heard of this one but it does look like a hot wheels car.

What about the Caddy that had its trunk angled down about 60 degrees, making it a short trunk?

Then there was the Messerschmitt KR-200, the BMW Isetta, and the Mercedes SUV that looks like a box on wheels.

Not exactly mine but same car and color

Earlier in this thread, I mentioned that the Nissan Juke looked like two cars were merged by a Star Trek transporter accident. I think we've found the other car... 

Citroen Ami

Hello!

How about this Polish beauty?

Its name is FSR Tarpan. The plant that used to make 'em is now a Volkswagen plant in my home town of Poznań.

Have a nice day

Only one type of cars are ugly, noisy, and downright annoying.... and they’re those damn ricers or tuners or whatever you want to call it. Why in God‘s name would anybody ruin a perfectly good import by dropping the stance til they're an inch off the ground, slant their tires/wheels, put ridiculous spoilers on the back, loud mufflers that sound like a weed whacker on crack.

My take: watching two in a race is like watching which lawnmower is the fastest. Heck, my lawnmower and rider mower sound better than those ridiculous ricers/tuners.

Ask any hot rod or muscle car owner, they hate’em.

Almost anything by AMC.  IMHO, the only thing that was remotely passable was the AMX.  The Gremlin, Hornet, Pacer, Rambler, Ambassador...

I had a 76 Malibu, same body style, just with the stacked headlights. Mine was silver, and it had the same color vinyl top as the one pictured. If it had a 350 instead of that anemic 305, I'd have kept it. Always thought they were pretty cars.

The AMXs cousin the Javelin was super cool too.

I have to admit that AMC put out some odd looking cars, but I think they also had some nice looking ones, and a couple that might best be described as "goofy-cute".

On the other hand that Citroen Ami that GMorrison posted a picture of is probably the dorkiest looking thing that I have ever seen

Try Googling "Dumbest-looking cars"......... wow......
