Ugly Cars: A Picture Thread

Ugly cars in general, or more specifically the ugliest body style of long-running names. To start off, here's the 1981 Mustang. Even uglier IMO than the short-lived Mustang II.

All cars are ugly.

Not really!

Holden McGroin (Ned Trifle II), Thursday, 4 December 2008 20:03 (4 years ago) Permalink

The trouble with this, even allowing for Tuomas's objections, is that what is ugly to some or even many people looks pretty cool to some us. So, it seems that the AMC Pacer is mostly reviled but I think it looks pretty cool, crazy, but cool.

I defy anyone to like the Aztek.

Seriously, that thing is a boat of ass.

Re: AMC. I love all those weirdo cars they designed in the 1970s. If I had the means, I'd make a documentary about them while all or most of the designers are still alive.

The R5, or "Le Car" by Renault. My apologies if people find this car cute.

omg at the Aztek, that's two cars welded together right?

What's amazing about the Aztek is that it's been around since 1999(?) and at no time has Pontiac tried to make it look unridiculous.

sorry.

The Pontiac Aztek is a mid-size crossover SUV that was produced by the General Motors marque Pontiac from the 2001 model year to the 2005 model year.

The white thing is a 1996 Mercury Sable.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Thursday, 4 December 2008 20:29 (4 years ago) Permalink

God, the Aztek is like a car ate a car and hasn't fully digested it yet.

I think someone once posted a green version on another thread and I compared it to a velociraptor or something but that's a little hazy now.

Mercury always makes Ford designs look worse. See the 1987 Sable.

I know that all-across headlight thing was supposed to be futuristic, but it was future-stupid.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 4 December 2008 20:30 (4 years ago) Permalink

i think most cars made in the '90s were ugly. it's like automakers just abandoned style as an option.

most cars made in '00s are even uglier than '90s cars

should be noted, 80s and 90s firebirds not as cool as 60s/70s firebirds. they looked way cheaper and only half as badass. that one up there is like a 1980 firebird? still on the cool end of things.

That one up there is like a 76 or so. I can date my firebirds by Smokey & The Bandit movies.

In college, one of my friends drove a '73 trans am that he and his dad had restored, all the way to proper decals and the right stereo. It was amazing, except it didn't start when it was below 50 or above 90. It looked like this:

that is p rad but not it, the sun rays have the same definition as the bird and the bird is sort of small and in the middle and blends into the sun rays as if they were its wings

naw it really looks like a sun w/a brid head in the middle, its not v similar to the usual design, think it might be older, or only on matchbox cars or something
