HH-R Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Most of those are fair enough really. I was going to say the BMW X6 should be number one but after seeing what is at number one, I'll let it slide to 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 R16? R4? Mustang II? Ami? 2CV? Hardly ugly cars, a few feeble choices in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM bungled those cars until 1988, when they got the 4.5L donk. One year later, and it had port fuel injection, the body was lengthened, and it (surprise!) required premium fuel. The 88's didn't. I miss my C-body Cadillacs every day...(*sigh*)May they rust in place, wherever they are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I bet they only put the Toyota Prius in because they know they aren't supposed to like it, but not because it's ugly (which I really don't think it is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Jag E Type not leading the list, thus list being bollocks.Apart from the post-1986 bobbins, the list is surprisingly congruent with my want list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forddeliveryboy Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Just a lazy American journalist who's found the internet and wants a pay cheque at the end of the week. Renner16 ugly? I suppose it's all in the eye of the beholder but it says shedloads that most are old. Dare say anything less than complementary about a modern and today's breed of car owners will be baying like rabid dogs. Mercs from the last decade come to mind - some are gopping to my eyes. In particular a white C class estate from about 2010 which used to park near parents. Vince70 and Magnificent Rustbucket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardK Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Predictable. Why doesn't the W210 E-class get on there? They're damn odd looking even before the "depths of the ocean" cloud-eyes happen to the headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bren Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 This. Utterly fucking gopping. Uglier than a fight at a pikey wedding. The designers at cadillac got as far as the rear end of the car and then took early retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want their dial-up internet back too.You're quite right about msn-- when your quest for objectivity leads you to the comments section of every..."article"...hmmm. Autoshite.

RichardK Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 image.jpg This. Utterly fucking gopping. Uglier than a fight at a pikey wedding. The designers at cadillac got as far as the rear end of the car and then took early retirement. It's growing on me the more I see them. Knowing there's a good chance of the "aluminium and cheese" 4100 under the hood helps. Yellow thing is the Fiat ESV based on a 126, no idea why they stuck a boot on it though.
