Ugliest cars ???
Ok...when I was going through my test drives before finally deciding to get my 2005 TL....there were several cars that I saw on the roads that are just so F'UGLY that I would have been embarrassed to even test drive. I submit 5 as my top nominees but feel free to add any of your own....lol.
5) Dodge Stratus - just plain boring
4) Chrysler 300 - I know a lot of people like this styling but to me the car looks like it needs the Atkins Diet. And what is up with that Mack Truck sized grill ??
3) Buick Lucerne - Buick and ugly seems to have gone hand in hand for decades, and where do they come up with these stupid names for their cars ???
2) Lexus ES-330 - When I saw this car on the showroom floor when I test drove the Lexus RX-330, I pictured my grandfather driving this sedan....and he has been dead for over 20 years. How can Lexus manage to make such a great looking SUV like the RX-330 and come up with this stiff of a design ?
And finally.....
1) Any pre-2006 Toyota Camry - Now let me give Toyota some kudos, the re-designed Camry looks really good. But these previous Camry's make me yearn for the days of the AMC Pacer or the Gremlin.... Has there ever been a modern sedan that looks as fuddy duddy as these things do ?? I wouldn't care if the Camry was the best car ever built, I wouldn't even sit in any of those pre-2006 ones. Even the 2006 is fairly ugly....but for 2007 it seems that Toyota finally "got it".
Needless to say that styling was a very big priority for me....but a combination of styling, quality and performance. You all know why I selected the TL

Stratus is boring, so is the Camry, but like Tireguy said....thats different than being actually 'ugly'. Those two cars are just plain, nothing to like, nothing to dislike.

Looks like it was designed by commitee.

no 'love' for the Scion brand? c'mon. pretty much any Suzuki sucks, too. Ford Festiva, too. Are we talking current production models or all-time? gota be the Gremlin if we go all time, or else the Pacer.

The "edition" part of it has nothing to do with that. Its just the model...
From base up"
Classic Edition
Touring Edition
Limited Edition
GT
There are a limited production series...but who gives a fuck. Theyre ugly anyways

The only vehicle I really cant stand is the Subaru B9. 
The rest are unique looking, which I prefer. Some I like more than others, but they all are neat in their own respect.

No, the B9 Tribeca is the SUV thing...
The car/truck is the Baja
Both are great performance-wise, just ugly as sin.

What he said. I always thought those cars looked like they had an extra chassis stacked on top. Dunno if it's the "split" grille, the fact that the car just looks too damn tall, or what.

Good lord! What the hell is that thing?? 
Another car that looks like it's "double-stacked"... must've been the prototype for the Aztek! Talk about a double helping of ugly.

Aztec, Tribeca... I really don't like the big grille thing that happening on the audis/vws, but there are not many cars I'd consider "ugly"... some are boring, or their overall designs could be better excecuted, but overall I love all cars...
I like the Element, Xb, PT cruiser, because they follow the function over form philosophy... I like boxes on wheels... utilitarian vehicles just need to be useful...
Some how I don't like the HHR, which in my mind is a PT ripoff... Not saying it's ugly, I just don't like the way the HHR looks
