Nice one, Honda.








But, where's the BMW 5-series on that list? Otherwise, I agree with the Top 10 overall.

Weird, i actually dont think the new Ford Focus is all that bad.

The 2009 Acura TL doesn't go on sale for a few months and we already don't like those looks. Successive generations of Acuras are getting worse, reminding us a time when their cars actually had names (Legend, Integra) and actually had style. The TL is a Transformer frozen forever in a transformation from an attractive sedan to a particularly unattractive cheese grater.

Ouch

It's quite ugly in person...although, it's a fun ride.

I had one for several days while the CL was in the shop for repairs. The Focus was packed with features...and I'm in love with Sirius Satellite Radio.

Actually I seen it in person a bunch of times. On that site it looks ugly but on the street it looks decent.

Oops, that site has the 09 focus coupe. Havent seen that in person yet, just the sedan version.

Ah...yeah, a bit of a repost...but, since the top 10 list is not just Honda-specific, it's fine to keep a thread open for this.

No GT-R?

One thing's for certain.... the Pilot looks uglier in person than in pics.

That pic of the TL is actually better looking than the no camo TL at the golf course.

I agree with a lot of that list.

I would still drive an older Murano though. If I can trade the Pathfinder in for one, I would do it in a heartbeat.

I think you may be the only one the 5 series styling hasn't grown on.

I think its gorgeous.

6 series, not so much.


I don't think the TL belongs on there. Awkward yes, ugly? not IMO.

A bit biased since I own a Murano, but I don't think that belongs either...

The Jeep Compass was apparently designed to appeal to women, which may explain why it looks like a fetus. ..... it's one of the few cars that looks like a Chinese knock-off of itself.

this has to be one of the funniest things i have read! I can't stop laughing!

when the initial pics were released, i thought it looked nasty.

however, after seeing them in person, i must say i've done a complete 180 and like it a lot. and the interior is great for an SUV. and the guages are

I think it looks alright, too. I saw one in my neighborhood last week and thought it was fine.

However, there are quite a few cars I'd put on this list instead:

Dodge Nitro
Dodge Caliber
Kia Rio
Kia Rondo
Kia Amanti
BMW X6

Now those are hideous. Pilot, not so much IMO.

Awkward cars for me include the new FX and also the Maxima. Yuck!
