Re: Who makes the ugliest automobile
 
At least some on the ugly list did have redeeming features:

Citreon DS-19:Air suspension made it possible to drive the car on three tires in case of a flat in a bad spot.
Bugatti Veyron:That's why it's so fast.
Geo Metro:Went on three road trips with Billy Nees.His Geo got 50+ mpg.And it wasn't all that cramped inside.
Matador S/W:I flat towed my 1973 gremlin for 4-5 years with one.Never had a problem.

Remember on the new Prius, if you have to plug it in, it's an appliance, NOT a car!!

The 2012 "Plug-in" Prius still has a 1.8L engine. You have the ability to plug it in to recharge the batteries rather than rely on the engine or braking to do it.

I kind of like the look of the modern Citroen.

Some of the mid 50`s Pontiacs come to mind,actually,a lot of the old Pontiacs were ugly. Also add the Honda Prius looking thing with the fender skirts. Not sure of the name though. I`ll call it the Honda Yuck!

I wouldn't call this car too shabby.1977 AMC Matador S/W.
I can't get the ebay motors ad to post.It's in the AMC cars section near the top.Maybe someone can get it on here.

Prius....in Nebraska the state dept of revenue sends you a bill for uncollected gas tax after you register it. Last I heard it was $75 per yr. Kinda funny in a way

Ed, Matador made great LA police cruisers and Mark Donohue won some races in one in 73. I have to give props to the Geo Metro Turbo, one wax my Monte Carlo ss more than once on strip. My SS 15.50 et, the Geo 14.98 all day. Their still ugly but can go like hell, which is better than most tree huggers bread box. Claude

The first generation Chevy Avalanche had to be about as ugly as anything ever made anywhere.. Almost enough to make Hulk Vomit..
Looked to me like it was designed by a 7th grade shop class, high on Crack Cocaine each with a hatchet.

When my brother sees vehicles like the Avalanche and Aztek, he says that the GM designers have got to start smoking a better grade of crack ....

Yeah we had one of those, lol. Actually we had a Seville, Eldorado Biarritz, and a Sedan Deville.
All were 1980 models if I remember correctly, and they were that horrible diesel conversion.

The Biarritz was my car when I turned 16. My mom had the Seville, and dad drove the Deville.

55 Chevy 10-29-2011 11:19 AM

Re: Who makes the ugliest automobile
 
Infiniti FX-35.Every time I see one it reminds me of a vietnamese pot belly pig blown up like a balloon. Just missing that litlle curly tail.

As for best looking the '55 chevy 2 door sedan of course.Hopefully GM NEVER tries to re-create it as you cannot make the looks better. Bad enough now that people are putting these big wheels/little elastic band tires on them. Blasphemy I say.

I'm sure YOU did, Jack... Did you keep the customer around front while you were selling him?
It still looks like someone backed it into a shredder and them changed their mind.

Another one that I wish I'd grabbed! About 10 years ago I passed on one hit in the left rear for $500.

Here is a secret spy shot of Ed's new stocker fresh out of the Kenosha custom paint and body shop.
Killer paint work don't ya think?

It is currently undergoing development R&D at the Billy Nees skunk works facility.

First it must go through the double secret AMC performance fermentation and infestation process as it is doing now.

How about that AMC wagon from a few years back running U/SA. That was an interesting looking race car. Anyone have a pic to post of that car ?

Aubrey N Bruneau 10-29-2011 09:26 PM

Re: Who makes the ugliest automobile
 
HOW did I miss this thread ????????? !!!!!!!!!!!

"GREAT" examples already mentioned...

82-92 Camaro... you bet
new Camaro, an angled up, chunky, block of schitt
ANY "fox body" Mustang... cheap, no character, little beater

how 'bout these new trucks ?
For #$^& sakes, is there some kind of competition between the manufacturers, for who can build the most MASSIVE, butt ugiest, front end on a vehicle. I mean REALLY... Is this becoming a "mine is bigger than yours" contest ? !

Of course there are the "classics"
Assteck, Avalanche,
Actually, just about any new GM, excepting the Corvette.

However
the winner, hands down, in modern vehicles... getting the award for the most extensive... make that entire product line of the most VULGAR, offensive, pieces of crap that have EVER been on the road




toyota

the entire product line

Re: Who makes the ugliest automobile
 
Oh my gawd... I just saw you guys picking on the Marlin

What about it's "bigger than life" slightly distant cousin ? ....
the first generation Charger !
