no-one on ugly cars names the Jag but the DS is the last entry.
Austin Allegro Vanden Plas. The ultimate in aspirational back in the '70s.
I remember my dad was talking about getting an estate version (obviously not the Vanden Plas) after his Maxi caught fire and died. My sisters and I told him very forcefully that if he did We Would Never Speak To Him Again. Ever.
A car is simply a bike transportation box. Anything you get a complete bike into is a good design.
Anything not shaped like a bike box is as a result of the designers playing with their joysticks too much.
BMW X6 is an abomination, and represents all that is wrong with capitalism...
X6s look great.
Cubes too.
So so many cars they don't appear to have thought about exterior design like other industries do. The vauxhall range with the exclusion of the previous corsa is just a 3D modelling brain fart.
If I'm being specific there is a current jag that looks like a toyota.
Another vote for the X6 for every reason you can think of - its sheer pointlessness being the most obvious.
Oh, and big versions of normal cars (Golf Plus, that new Mini that looks like a baby monster truck, the big Focus, whatever it's called) - it just seems a lazy way to design to me.
That estate thing Higgo posted is nice IMO.
You're all wrong, the e-type and the crossfire are both lovely, and the only reason you don't like the reliants is that you haven't seen the V8 or rocket powered 4 wheel versions

Not exactly a Robin though are they
Let's face it' metro 6r4's are awesome, but it doesn't mean metros are any good either 🙄
I know I had one, it's the only car I've owned that never finished a journey it started, really' it broke down every time I drove it, got rid after a fortnight
any suburu or mitisubishi rally car wannabees. Maybe they go like jobby from a spade, but they look minging.

Your so wrong with the Espada and Lagonda.
Any Ssangyong, just wrong.
Yours for £15k!

I reckon the 308 cabriolet suffers proportion failure

Although I have to support earlier posts that the Nissan Juke is the ugliest looking car currently on the road. It looks like someone found some concept sketch for a Action Man moon buggy and after mis-reading the scale put the thing in production. In many ways im surprised it hasnt ended up with a roof mounted attachment for firing foam darts.
I don't think I've ever seen a citroen that wasn't absolutely horrifically ugly. This is just the epitome of ugliness. Most Alfa creations are completely revolting too
Coffeeking - what a bizarre troll. What exactly do you think is a good looking car then? There have been some amazing Alfa and Citroen designs.
Totally agree about Alfas. I think it's the gearbox in the back that makes them so wrong. Exception is the 8C which is just art.
Ugliest car I ever saw was in France. Renault Twingo or something. Looked like a frog.
would be brilliant. I'd prefer a rocket launcher or some sort of car-plough to get doddery gits out of the way...a roof mounted attachment for firing foam darts.
there's some cretin round here who is organising a campaign to get his mates driving the local NSL road at 40mph to 'get a safer speed limit'. I'd happily shunt him...

I reckon the STW Forum suffers from perspective failure

Apparently quite popular with the Spanish youth a few years ago. They have a dash mounted handbrake and column gearshifter meaning nothing to get in the way when getting frisky in the front seats.
Holy Moly. Mark Datz in relevant-to-thread-AND-literate shocker! Granted, no language was used, but it's a start.
If a person were to take a collection of blind kittens at a heavy metal concert and ask them to design a car whilst stabbing them repeatedly with a sharpened stickle-brick, then the result would almost certainly be an improvement on the Rodius. Why why why?

That Pontiac that creg posted is without doubt the worst looking production car ever produced. Every time I am in Canada I just howl every time I see one. Truly abysmal!!!!
Anything by Perodua, KIA, any modern Lancia, the Audi Q7, any 2wd car made to look like a 4wd, the Merc R class, any modern Chevy.
I do rather like the idea of the Lancia Stratos Icecream Van from a couple of pages back. I'd like to be the person to build one of those for real and combine two of my favourite things.
I saw one of these on the road the other day. What a hideous combination of pastiche, fad, lumpiness and wishful thinking. Bring back the 205:
