FinalGear's Ugliest Cars - Results!

I can see your point of view... Fox kind of looks European, though, so that's why those ones in the pics work for me. They're like bigger siblings to the hot hatch versions of the Mk3 Escorts.

I still think they are cool for some reason, just can't help it every time I see a guy in a tuned one I smile.
Had to post one more thing for foxes, doing what they do best.
Oh right, that's the reason ;)
 
Today's Trivia: Just like with the most beautiful cars, there was not a single vote for any Renaults.


3 Point Cars

  • AMC Gremlin - Introduced on April Fools Day 1970, the Gremlin was supposed to be a thrifty import fighting American subcompact. With prices that started under $2000 (1970 money). This, and the thriftiest six-cylinder engine, gave the Gremlin strong sales througout its first 4 year, especially in the time of the oil crisis. After that sales started to drop drastically.
  • BMW 5-Series - 5th Generation - Our third BMW from our friend Chris Bangle, and this time its the mid-size luxury sedan. Introduced in 2003, as a replacement to the legendary E39 5-Series, this car was critiqed a lot for its looks, especially its Bangle-Butt and headlights. Loaded to the brim with all sorts of fancy electonics, the 5-Series can do almost anything except look good.
  • Chrevrolet Silverado - 2nd Generation - Its a pickup truck. End of story.
  • Chrysler 300C - 1957 - Considered to be the classic year of the 300 letter series cars, the 300C still had a large fish-like gaping mouth, and large shark fins on its sides. Powered by a huge Hemi V8, the 300C was offered as a coupe or a convertible, unlike today's 4 door sedan 300C.
  • Ford Taurus - 3rd Generation - When it came to redesigning the Ford Taurus, Ford designers said it was like repainting the Mona Lisa. When they finished the design, they had chosen a radical oval inspired design, which caused lots of controversy. The 3rd generation Taurus also became a cruiser, even the SHO, which gained a V8, lost its sportiness.
  • Nissan GT-R - The GT-R has probably been the most anticipated car since Nissan ended the production of the R34 GT-R. The new GT-R is loaded to the brim with all sorts of computers and features to make it one giant PlayStation on wheels. This technology paid off when the stock GT-R lapped the Nurburgring in 7:29, faster than the Carrera GT, the 911 GT2, the Koenigsegg CCR, and the Bugatti Veyron.
  • Peugeot 1007 - "A small car but really really heavy with complicated doors that goes 0-60 in 18 seconds." - Top Gear
  • Toyota Starlet - 2nd Generation - The Toyota Starlet 60 Series was a typical 80s Japanese subcompact, with the typical bland design (or lack of) of most other Japanese subcompacts.
  • Trabant 600 - The Trabant was an East German contraption made from 1957 through 1991, shortly after the fall of the Wall. Many of these Trabis could be found abandoned by their owners after they migrated west after the fall of the wall - that fact alone should speak for the rest of the car.
 
E60 5 series out already? That's not right.

Nope, that's right. Just checked all the PMs again just in case. Didn't find anything new to me, although apparently when I started having WinXP problems and getting lots of crashes, I lost 2 PMs worth of data in my Excel (back then was using OpenOffice Calc) database, so I would like to apologize and add those here.

Oops, I meant that in a "dude, that's just wrong" sense, not a "you screwed up your numbers" way. I'm just surprised it's out so early.
 
That Liberty made me realize I forgot all about the Jeep Compass when I filled out my ballot. :eek: Man that thing is ugly!

There are a fair number of Toyotas so far in this contest.

Toyota is good at making really boring looking cars. Even the MkIV Supra looks blah.

I've forgotten what i've voted already. I can agree with the 1007 but deffinately not on the GT-R. It's a work of art, you twit.
 
'57 300C down. It's horrifying, imagine that thing tailgating you on a highway :?

The Trabant is hardly worse-looking than, let's say, the Ford Anglia. And I loved Go Trabi Go :lol:
 
Wow, none of the cars I voted for have appeared yet. Must have picked some really ugly buggers

Well, I was feeling great that none of my cars were on the list yet, but then three of them get retconned! And before I get lynched for the 2CV, it is ugly, but I still want one.
