Re: The ugliest car ever made?

They should do a survey of the Ugliest car manufacturer, Toyota would will hands down LOL

Nothing was uglier than the Aztek.

Sometimes ugly and utile go together.

"doozy" implies it's a Deusenberg. They went belly up in 1937...

I don't know -- the Acura TL is a doozy.

Nissan Cube, Honda Element, AMC Gremlin, Pontiac Aztek, Scion xB (which managed to get even uglier after the last redesign) are far uglier than the TL. Still, it's too bad about the TL. Up until 2003 it was a very attractive vehicle.

That is promptly because it is not a Toyota

You misunderstood again Mike. When he said the TL is a Doozy, he meant it was well in the running for "Ugliest car ever built".

Beats just about any Toyota less than 15 years old. ( I mean for UGLY, not for looks) Some of the old Crowns and Coronas were definitely ugly, but the later stuff is just "pedestrian".

For manufacturers,Daihatsu beat Toyota on the ugly scale, and Subaru has definitely been pushing hard (think Tribeca and WRX) along with Mitsubishi (the EVO frontend is just an example) but I don't think any current manufacturer in the North American market has a firm hold on the title, accross the board.

They've ALL designed and built and foisted on the American public some pretty AWFULL designs - along with some real beautys.

However, beauty is DEFINITELY in the eye of the beholder, and what You may think is beautiful I may think is horrendous, and Vise Versa.

The LFA is fine, a bit overpriced, but fine. Yaris isn't ugly, it's actually cute. In the past there were Supra, MR2 and AE86. All nice cars in my eyes.

Actually the worst line-up is BMW's, I insist. Great engines, good cars... but bloody awful aesthetically. The 1 series is a laugh, for instance.

Actually the term DOOZY is a old term that referred to something being as good as a Duisenberg, one of the finest car ever made. Nothing Toyota ever made can be compared to a Duisenberg. ;)

Have to go to the right show...

Speaking of old Toyotas, one never sees any of them at old cars shows. What's up with that?

That's one show, go to shows around the country and see if you can fine ONE Jap car. LOL

I've seen a Toyota 2000 at a major show - only a couple in North America, as well as several early Corollas and Celicas. I've also seen a very nice blue UP7 (known as the 7-up) - precursor to the Starlet (KP Series) of the early 80s at a local show.

Lots of Datsun 240Z and 510 cars at any show with a motorsport theme. Also at any "import" or "sports car" show.

You just don't get out enough Mike.

The humpback Sevilles of the early 80's were about as ugly as the come!
