Default FinalGear's Ugliest Cars

While teeb is doing an amazing job with FinalGear's Most Beautiful Cars, I decided to start up a smiliar type of thread, but with a list of what we think are the ugliest cars (If teeb doesn't mind that I'm stealing some thunder).

So in the same spirit of the other list... I present FinalGear's Ugliest Cars

The rules are pretty much the same as last time, except slightly modified obviously.

Please give me the car make, name, and generation (eg. BMW M5 - E39). If you want to give a snippet of text saying why you think the car is revolting, please do. It's not necessary, but I might use some anonymously in my 'car summaries' in the results. Also, a link to a photo would be nice, but also isn't necessary.

What I'll do is I'll take all the results and give each car a certain number of points (If it's given a 10, it gets 1 point, if it's given a 1 it gets 10 points). I'll totalise all the results and then start a new thread which will give, definitively, FinalGear's worst-looking cars, along with pictures and a quick write-up of each.

All the important stuff should be in bold.
^ All credit to teeb for those rules.

Oy. What am I getting myself into?

What I'm wondering most about is.... are there gonna be any overlaps between this list, and the 'most beautiful' list.
