Any car at the end of a "Pimp My Ride" episode qualifies.

Agreed. I've always hated that car... even in the 90s when it first came out, I always thought it looked like a sunny side up egg with wheels. Zero shape to it.

I wonder why in the 90s they completely ignored geometric shapes and went with all these wierd round cars.

This is ugly:

Oh, station wagons were cool. Minivans, however, never so.

Sure it does. It's just like the Civic with a pushed in hood and no rear end.

Oh yes it does. Disgusting looking car.



Also, the 2009 Toyota Prius is a POS too.

The worst part about this is that this is a far better looking car than the original design. I mean what kind of idiot actually went to design school and thought that "covered wheels" are back. What an awful looking car.

I find most cars after around 1992 to be pretty ugly (especially pick-up trucks). They lack character for the most part.

I kinda like that one.

As someone pointed out, station wagons can be cool. This may not be "cool" and has the lame-ass "crossover" label, instead of calling it a station wagon, but besides that, it's an unapologetic station wagon.

Going by the many examples in this thread of cars that seem to be knocked because they look different from the norm, it looks like you are in the minority.

I'd rather prefer a car which aims to do something new and interesting (even if deemed ugly by some), as opposed to something that is indistinguishable from the majority of cars on the road.

Oh I remembered one that I really dislike...the late 80's/early 90's Mustang. Completely uninspired as far as I'm concerned!

1976 Mustang 11 Cobra - Carrol Shelby screwed up when he designed this car.

They create less drag, so you find them on all the cars built purely for fuel economy (Honda Insight, Saturn EV1, Prius).

It reminds me of the Simpson's episode where Homer has to design a car for his brother and it ends up bankrupting him. That ridiculous pod thing on top is out of control.
