Top 10 Ugliest Cars
Remember back in the ancien days when we all thought the Aztec was the worst vehicle ever designed? These days, there are contenders to the throne popping up at an astounding rate. While it’s very difficult to narrow the list to a mere 10, I have done my best to pick out the most heinous examples of modern automotive design. One thing is for certain, Americans are losing their ability to discern beauty from ugliness as some of these worst models actually sell well.
10. Nissan Juke
The Juke, which Nissan markets as a cool crossover, is the quintessential clown car. I can’t imagine seeing anything behind the wheel other than a wildly made up clown, looking for laughs as he pilots this horribly mangled sheetmetal down the road.
9. Nissan Cube
If you want people to stare at you and keep telling you that you made the wrong purchasing decision, then the Cube is for you. Nissan is desperate for any new design that will make them competitive with Toyota, but this is exactly the wrong path to take. Building garish clown cars is no path to success.
8. GMC Terrain
Muscular style. Efficient power. Comfort and cargo-carrying capability you’d expect from a larger, thirstier vehicle. To auto critics it is just another disastrous experiment in trying to make a crossover appeal to the masculine end of the auto market. This thing is so puffed up with embellishment in the form of oversized flared fenders that you can only wonder what kind of undersized male would find it desirable.
7. Fake Rolls
If you look at it afar this retina-melting lime green machine rolling on 26-inch wheels appears to be a Rolls Royce type of cars. It’s actually. It’s a Chrysler 300 with a fake Rolls grille. Even without that front end, this thing is over the top in a number of ways. Have a look at the trunk for example—it actually opens sideways. This car seems perfect for a modern re-make of the Dolomite. It’s absolutely disgusting to look at.
6. Honda Odyssey
I’m not sure what’s going on in the Honda design leadership area anymore. Over the years, Honda has always produced attractive vehicles that neither offend nor amaze, but their currentdesigns are beyond dull. The previous Odyssey was by far the most attractive minivan ever sold, but this eyesore just makes you scratch your head. The broken lines toward the rear end completely ruin the look, and with such a large vehicle, it’s impossible not to notice.
