Who makes the ugliest automobile - Page 5

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!

How about the new Mazdas with the smiley face grille?

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.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Hummers.
