Default Fugliest car you've ever seen.

I hope no one is offended by this post. I'm not taking a shot at anyone's personal ride. I just thought it might be interesting to see everyone else's taste in cars. So please don't get :mad We're all friends here.

I thought the AMC Pacer was one of the ugliest cars ever made, then the Aztec came out. Same designer of the Aztek did the Chevy Avalanche-see any similarities??? Supposedly will be designing the 2004 C6??? :U

Hey Paul. Do you live right off of the interstate? I was driving from Peoria, IL area to Cincinatti last summer and I saw a red house with a couple of Vettes outside. I remebered the pic on your sig (how can you forget a guy with 4 vettes in the driveway), and thought it might be your house. As for the C6 designer, the better get Cafaro back in the studio. Whoever did the Aztec and the Avalanche should be working for Chrysler. :U

:D

e3pres, No, I live off state route 21 and state route 241, 8 miles west of Canton and about 50 south of Cleveland(home of the most "polite" football fans in the NFL)Ohio. Also, kidding aside, the designer of the Chrysler PT Cruiser does now work for GM!!!

I think you forgot about the Citroen. I can still remember the first time I saw one of these when I was a kid. Someone actually paid to buy that thing :U

Look, he even got one for his son. Isn't that a form of Child abuse? :D

I just remembered the Chevy Citation. I think it came out around the early 80's. I thought that was the most butt ugly car I had ever seem....and it made Motor Trends (I think it was motor trends) car of the Year!! After that, I never thought much of car of the year awards again.

I'm pretty sure when AMC went belly up they turned over the patent rights to "ugly" to General Motors... that explains the Aztec............ :lol:

Oh I must deny.....I would have agreed with you several years ago - although the gremlin was in the running. But the Aztek has them all hands down - followed closely by the Avalanche, the newest Monte Carlo, the Ford Focus Wagon and then......ta da...Hondas with great big wings and ground effects :D :D

I think the ugliest car has to be the 60 chevrolet.
for what its worth. I have an avalanche. I really don't see how tha asstech looks exactly like mine. The front parking lights are similar, but check out the back half.
Not starting a flame, but its all a matter of individual taste.
Personally, we have some Tabor-City pickups around here in NC. Thats a station wagon that has been hacked into a pick up. Now, thats Fugly!

I think the Aztec is leaps and bounds ahead of the Pacer or Matador of the same era. (Remember those huge bulging headlights on the Matador - or the slogan- "So that's a Matador!")

Imagine those GM execs. sitting around looking at the Aztec and not one of them had the b***s to say anything about it!

I really think the Mitsubisi Montero is the ugliest thing I have seen. Nice fender copy of the C3 and what is up with all the bolt on side pieces?
:U :U :U

I think the Aztek has dethroned the previous all time stinker: the Edsel.

I never thought it would be possible but GM disappointed me. :)
