Whoops ! How'd I miss the Aztek ???


After some second glances, I like the S-car-Go (it's "fun"...), and I don't know what the problem is with the Suzuki X-90... it's an honest to goodness "coupe"...
( different silhouette from sedan, no back seat )


"Ugly is in the eye of the beholder", but "hideous is forever"...


Some folks are still debating whether the '61-'63 "bread-box" Rambler American is "cute" or "ugly" or "ugly-cute"...

I'll leave that question to the "aesthetes" - I'm too busy enjoying my Rambler.

These are no different than movie reviews...........just someone's opinion.

I agree with all of the above.

Some other "awkward" (ugly seems too subjective a term) current-era cars I can think of include the original Nissan Versa (though they've recently come out with a 4-door with a bustle trunk that seems to improve the looks a bit), any Scion except the tC (which is rather attractive by contrast), the Kia Soul (which almost seems to be suggesting a new school of thought where awkward looking is actually a positive thing)--and the Nissan Cube too (obviously).

Sorry, Ford, the Flex is awkward-looking!

I confess that I used to think that the original Subaru Foresters were awkward-looking...until the the big dumb bloated-looking current model came out--and so now I kinda think the original Foresters look purposeful and functional...

Those are the ones that spring quickly to mind--more to come if I can manage...

In order for me....from ugly to fugly:





I guess its all opinion and subjective.....my brother hates the 54 Buick's because he says they all look so sad.

:shrugg:

Just remember, it's a list compiled by... a "Yahoo". Enough said.

Sadly, the list was compiled by a "design and innovation" staff writer at Business Week magazine. Yahoo just linked it.

I think that little red X-90 is cute. It remindes me of the "Penny Racers" that my now thirty-seven year-old step-son loved to play with when he was a kid. I wouldn't want to have a wreck in one, but I do think they are far from ugly.

Bill agrees that the Azteks are just wrong on so many levels.

We have a 2003 PT Cruiser and we love it. My mom and dad bought one a year later. You can't go a mile without seeing at least one of them. That writer might think they are ugly......but they sell like hotcakes.

I actually bought the Radio Shack Zip Zap PT before we got the real one.

On the later Stude Champs, the bed didn't go with the cab for a reason. Stude couldn't afford to come up with a stylish, modern bed, so they bought 'em from Dodge.

Well if your talking trucks...



layers of plastic and disjointed angles....no good as a pickup and lacking as a SUV

Some people must like them though...see them everywhere.

These "carucks" or "trars" baffle me... that there's a market for them further baffles me.

A testament to the power of MadisonAv, I suppose.


"Hey, it's an uncomfortable sedan, AND, it's a uselessly small truck ! "

At any rate, they are quite ugly, in my opinion - be they GM, Ford, Subaru, Honda...

Barnum is still right, a century after his passing.
