Fifty Ugliest Cars of the Past 50 Years

Ugh, some dandies, both for body and mechanical designs.



The Jeep Compass is a recent vehicle which I thought about. I liked the functional design, but couldn't handle the exterior styling or interior's low quality. In the end I passed on it, not wanting to upset my wife who also couldn't handle it's styling. Seems it didn't please the Jeep crowd either.

This is one ugly from Fiat. If Chrysler ends with something looking like this to build the plant workers would probably walk out.

That article looks like and editor grabbed a pile of several hundred car photos, threw them on the desk of some writer who knows almost nothing about cars, and told him to write something stupid about 50 of them.

thanks for your contribution to the dross.

Some of them I'll agree with. But how can you not like the Plymouth Prowler? And there are some others there that I believe the person(s) critiquing them was based on what his/her definition of ugly is.

Thanks for your contribution to my kill file.

Thanks for self-identifying as thin-skinned morons...

Maybe my tolerance level has gotten less... when I first started using Usenet I bet I didn't feel the need to kill file anyone for several years. Then maybe once or twice a year, now it seems like another suitable "contributor" pops up at least monthly.

It's called "thin skin". Look it up.
