Fifty Ugliest Cars of the Past 50 Years

A Half-Century of Automotive Eyesores By Damian Joseph

Considering how many new cars are rolled out every year, it's no surprise that a few might be just plain homely. There's a chance that certain styles might become fashionable with a dash of retro hip. (Well, maybe not from the 1970s.) But for the most part, the following 50 cars will never be anything but design duds.

LOL! It sucked to be you as a kid.

They were right about the Enzo's being overkill. Wretched excess sculpted in metal. The Viper actually was a much better looking car, if you insist on your car looking like a scifi rocket ship.

Could have had a few more Citroens, and retired the trophy. *gack* for about thirty years.

This car may be a lot of things, but ugly ain't one of them.

They didn't like it because it was too flashy? Hello? Why would you buy a Ferrari if it wasn't flashy? That's what that car is all about.

62 Valiant

Was the Lamborghini LM002 supposed to be the challenge to the Hummer?

How could this bad boy not be on the list:

The 2CV, ugly?! S’il vous plait!

[hinckley buzzard]

There used to be a joke--

Q: "How are things?

A: Kiddin' me? No wonder the Germans lost the war.

[Neidermeyer]

Why is the “New Beetle” in there?

[hinckley buzzard]

Looks like a Disney cartoon character talking to another Car.

[BattleHymn]

No, not the DS! Love it or hate it, you have to admit it was a very innovative car for it's time. The wagons looked good, too:

[GSP.FAN]

No shit five of us in the backseat..
We pushed the car more times than we drove in it, a lot of fun now when i look back..

[TC Rider]

Aztec, hands down worst of the modern era.

[Gil4]

Could have been worse - it could have been the 500. The Multipla (a newer Fiat - on the list) is much uglier than either of these, but it's not bad to drive. The Citroen 2CV (my previous post) has no redeeming qualities.

[BradyLS]

LOL! I can just imagine talking to the owner: "Yeah, there's room in the back. But whaddaya think a roof rack is for???"

The Scion is photo#52

Sorry, I have to agree with that call. Beauty lies in clear distinct, classic lines. The only thing I fault this beauty for is, it is not Red:

Its funny how people have different opinions about cars.
To me:
The VW Thing was a cool ass car. Convertable, litterally take it apart with one sized wrench, easy in gas, and basically cheap to repair.

Subaru WRX; One of the fastest grocery getters out there. Awsome speed and handling, yet the cops will leave you alone.

Ugly to me; Late 70s Mustang, K cars, Saabs, anything Saturn, PT cruisers, and Hyundai Accent.
