The El Camino definetly DOES NOT belong on that list.

Chrysler K-car hands down worst.

ONLY A LIBERAL COULD STAND TO DRIVE IT.

(And even then, only by wearing a "self-satified smirk" of superiority and disdain for everybody else on the raod....)

I admit that in a purely "work of art" sense it's rather alien-looking, but its "screw esthetics, everything for functionality" approach appeals to the engineer in me. Like the architectural philosophy in the book "The Fountainhead", I find that pure nuts-and-bolts functionality has its own kind of beauty, especially compared to things that are added on "just for looks" but make no sense from a practical standpoint.




Ditto here. I'm actually looking to buy an Element within a month or so. I have a Prelude I'm currently using as a work bench/daily commuter. The Element's audacious practicality appeals to me completely.

Thnaks for posting this.

That's a Ford? Then what's with Le Sabres sticking out the front? They are surely deadly.

Didn't Bond drive one of these in that 007 flick that took place in New Orleans?

That gets my vote as the single ugliest car ever conceived. It doesn't look like a
lesbian's car, it actually looks like a lesbian.

A friend had a Fiat like that once but it didn't have as much horsepower.

Every bug I've owned had the ability to drop the rear seat down. Amazing what you can fit in that little car. I once had the driver's side window shatter. I went to buy replacement glass and could find none. A scrapyard sold me an entire door for $5.00. That fit in the car without having to remove any of the seats.

I can remember sitting with my sister in the well behind the rear seat of the family's '63 Type 1 rolltop because my dad had packed the car for a week at the beach. I must have been all of four at the time. Don't know how the two of us were kept happy for two hours like that. Do that today and you'll be arrested for child abuse.

There used to be kits to change the bug's nose to a Rolls grille. My father preferred the other variant which was something like a 30's Plymouth or a '40 Ford Coupe. Never got that done, though.

Weird, the Bug I remember goofing with didn't do that.
Only the New Beetle.
*scratches head*

Always wanted ot get my hands on a Kubelwagon, or it's descendant The Thing.
(Or a newer Corrado.. Maybe a Kharman Ghia..)

Did get to play around with VW diesels a bit.
My first gas powered VW was an 89 Golf.
(Loved it, it drovefor 30,000 miles with a hole the size of a quarter in the differential.. No other car I've run into would do that.)
