I thought it'd be fun to post images of the most ugliest car from around the world, so I will start with the following in no particular order:
Robin Reliant  Vanden Plas 1500  Avanti Studebaker  Pontiac Aztek  Ford Scorpio  Holden Commodore  Cadillac Seville  Dodge Dart  Aston martin Lagonda  Alfa Romeo 166

Gosh, seems my post was a bit of a flop then! I think the VZ is ugly with the whole pronounced twin bumper thing at the front. I know that sales stats say otherwise.

I purposely didn't post an AU as I imagine I'd get spoken to a lot more! But I am quite surprised by peoples' reactions. I must have a really bizarre taste in car design.
But just to clarify, the pictures I have selected are just the particular year/series illustrated. I like other series Commodores and Dodge Darts, just not the years/models posted here.

To me, the Ford Scorpio looks like a demented, squashed version of the AU Fairlane. The front looks even worse.
There must be hundreds more ugly cars indeed. That particular Taurus is awful. I can't help but stare when I see one go by, like a big green wart on the road. It was actually designed by an Australian. I think that many ungainly cars are lovable, as I quite like the Studebaker I listed. The same could be said about the AU Fairlane. if I saw one of those weird-tailed Sevilles in reality, I'd probably go over and admire it as a thing of wonder.

The more I look at the commodore, the uglier I think it is.. It looks like it's stoned or something, lol.

I personally believe that this car should be added. Even when I loved Holdens I thought these cars were a piece of s#it.

The Alfa 166 and Caddy Seville like OK to me. I always thought he A-M Lagondas were gorgeous.
Scorpio and Micra shouldn't be on the list - they're just ordinary. What about the original Hyundai coupe?

VNs look like a land barge. No doubt the SSs and Group As look tough, but the base model ones, look horrible. IMO To make matters worse, they threw in a 60s Buick rattle box, that sounds like a bogan walking into Centrelink, with his thongs clapping on the floor. Oh and I think the Taurus is quite ugly. :nutsycuck |
