Sent my list. Boy, did I have fun with this!

Then again, I have a strange sense of automotive beauty, and trying to fend off the lingering thought of "so ugly, it's beautiful" was hard as hell. That's why I love stuff like, say, this.

And this is coming from a guy that put the Jaguar E-Type in there just to spite people. Oops! images/smilies/twisted.gif

Just a small update.
In the 23hours since I started this, I've already received votes for 63 unique cars. 2 cars have 4 votes, 1 car has 3, and a bunch have 2 votes.
Keep the nominations coming.

I hope someone remembers the Buick Skylark. I mean, look at it in 1969, proper muscle car look:

And then in 1994:

Who got their college degree and went on to make big money designing that turd?

It's ugly, but there are much worse cars out there. Funny enough my top 10 didn't include any Ssangyongs, I thought I would give some other cars a chance. But the Saab 95 is in there with the stupid facelift, and the Dodge Nitro, and the G-wiz.

I listed only new or nearly-new cars... I find them a lot more hideous than old ones.

No way! The Multipla is awesome, it has character, something Ssangyong's do not. It took me home drunk twice in Florence with crazy Italian taxi drivers, I can't hate it!

Chalk up another fan of the Multipla here. Too bad I rode in the boring facelifted version, but going to the Ferrari factory is something you don't easily forget. Oh, and the driver was cute.

I didn't vote any SsangYongs, basically because we don't get them here and I guess you should see them in the metal to fully experience the horror. We did get the Musso for a short while, but I think it's fairly inoffensive in a Mazda kind of way.

Too bad the Multipla is making the list, and I figure its going to get more than a couple of votes. Mine included! images/smilies/tongue.gif

Right, that's it. There's clearly plenty of Multipla fans here.

I suggest we form a Protecting Multipla Squad (PMS for short), and target an even more hideous car. I suggest the Ssangyong Rodius or the Pontiac Aztek.

The Ssangyong Roduis. Look at it. Seriously, look at it.

I suspect one is buried underneath the ugly tree, and is the source of the ugly tree's "power".

It's been replaced by the Ssangyong Actyon underneath the ugly tree. That hurts the eye even more.
Look at this one...

The Actyon is ugly, sure. I don't believe it is as ugly as the Rodius, though.

I mean, from this angle the Actyon doesn't look awful. It doesn't look good, but it doesn't look awful. The Rodius doesn't have any good angles.

I saw an Actyon twice on the street. Since then, it's my no.1 ugliest car.
