Fifty Ugliest Cars of the Past 50 Years
 

http://images.businessweek.com/ss/09...ears/index.htm

How many have you owned? I have 2 on the list.

I've owned zero of those - and I have to say I agree with many, but the whole 'lol this boxy style sucks' doesn't really cut it for me - everything was a goddamn box back then, especially Volvos.

That said, I've made fun of the 'even the goddamn hood pull is oval' Taurus since it came out.

they lost me on car #2, sorry the el camino does NOT belong on that list.

besides, how can they have an el camino and not have a ranchero?

Nice list. The VW Bug and that Scion IQ shouldnt be on the list.

The Isuzu Vehicross should have been listed for sure.

Exactly. That list is clearly made as link bait with lots of bad choices to spark comments. There are some hugely successful cars on there. and 50 clicks to see them all? wtf! This is exactly why the new safari will become popular, even though it wouldn't work with a post like this, but this mainstream blog practice of generating page views is annoying - even if it is really effective.

and the Enzo??? :error Even if it's not your taste, you could never put it on a list like this.

Never owned any of those cars, but a friend of mine's first car was one of those mustang II's and I had another friend that had a Chevy Chevette that had huge rusted out hole in the floor. Also had an art teacher in high school who had all the AMC cars. She had a Pacer, Gremlin and Javalin.

I cant believe the Ferrari Enzo was on there... they were mostly right and I applaud them for making a list that had the freakin spaceship prius on there as well as the nissan cube... I cant stand those two cars, soooo freakin ugly! Id take the enzo any day!

The bug and IQ both deserve to be on there, along with 47 others.

The only one that shouldnt be on there is the Enzo.

Which 2 have you/do you own(ed)?

This one... I vote NOT UGLY! :thumbsup

This one... I vote FUCKING UGLY! :(

too bad for ferrari , i wonder why ferrari include on worst list

Agree with Brent, The Enzo Ferrari is not an ugly car. The only people who would think it is an ugly car are poor people who know they will never own one in this lifetime.

The Prowler is not bad either, it has the whole retro look to it. Not for everyone but definitely not ugly.

Mini vans are ugly period, don't matter what Make/Model they are. Those are a given. You won't catch me in one of those.

The Prowler looks better in person. I don't think it should be on the list. Same goes for the Enzo. And the Cadillac Escalade? give me a break.

Glad to see they included the Pontiac Aztek. Not sure what GM was thinking there.

Some of those don't deserve to be there. THe Pinto had some decent lines.

That was due to the fuel crisis going around back then.

I'll be here all week, folks.

Those always reminded me of a mini garbage truck.

I know! & whats the enzo doing on there :(


@ the thread & Minte, I have not owned any those. I bet one of the cars you owned was either the Hummer or the Citreon BX? :2 cents:

he eh he always hated those:winkwink:

I've never owned any of them but i'd love to have a Trekker (called a "Thing" on that list)

i would pay a lot of money to own one of these - and i am not the only one

Bow down to a real classic!

:D

and whoever put these on the list lost his credibility anyways - fuck him

two of the most classic cars ever built - icons during their time. what an asshat.

My dad had one of those... I flat refused to drive anywhere with him in it. He got tired of the family making fun of him and got an accord.

unsafe at any speed - wasn't that the car who was the main subject of that book?

I'll take that ugly Ferrari

I really don't think half of those cars are as ugly as being labeled. Using the term "ugly" is very subjective. The El Camino, The Thing, The Mustang II, The Chevette, DeLorean, Tayota Rav4, Taurus, etc etc... Are all good cards, I wouldn't mind owning them. Christ, I would give my left testicle for a DeLorean... btw, you can still have one built from parts (BRAND NEW) here http://www.delorean.com/newbuild.asp

Spanx!

Pontiac Aztec should be number fucking one, tied with the 90's Ford Taurus.

People want a DeLorean because it's a Delorean, not because of how it looks. It's pretty ugly as far as car looks go. But that still plays into it's DeLorean factor.

Nope never owned any of them and they should ad this to the list too

Fiat Multipla would be the Nr.1 on my list.

that list is useless without the veyron

http://hamiltonandtroup.files.wordpr.../02/veyron.jpg

That is one ugly car :2 cents:

I've owned none of them, but theres some on there I actually like the look of.

Thats not ugly, maybe weird looking but certainly not ugly.. A big bubble running at 200 plus miles an hour....

How anyone with a functioning brain would spend a MILLION plus on this shit is beyond me.... Oh wait there is one idiot on this board that bought one :thumbsup

And before someone says JEALOUS, UMMM Fuck U.... A million dollars could have been invested in something other than this CRAP:2 cents:

Yup, they should remove the Enzo from the list and put the Veyron in it's place.

The cadilac escalade is ugly?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyones taste in cars is different just the same as everyones taste in women/men.

A) I think a couple of those cars were cute.
B) I care so little about cars that I couldn't force myself to make it past car 10 in the list...
C) I drive a gigantic '99 Chevy Suburban and love it--I don't think that exactly qualifies me as having "good taste" when it comes to cars anyway.

some cars are ugly, but most of them are not that ugly!

Quoted for truth!

I've never owned any of those cars though I'd love to take a spin in the "Rambo Lambo". Way ahead of their time on that one.

A good friend of mine had a 73 mustang, alwasy thought that car was ugly as shit and it sucked to ride in. You can trust he is getting taunted right after I post this.
:thumbsup

True enough, but there are only 3 - 4 contentious cars on that list. Everyone agrees that the rest are fucking ugly.

With that said, I'm about to drive #27 from Paris to Mongolia.. woo!

there are some brutal looking cars in there

Mongol Rally?

Whoever put the Prowler on that list is a complete tard

There is lots of things in there that I wouldn't call ugly just bland.

No idea why they are so offended by the El Camino being a car and a pickup - i'd love a HSV Maloo.

They obviously don't get the snail joke with the S Cargo.

I disagree with the 7 series and the Escalade

exactly :)
