That MINI rates up there with that "wood-panelled" monstrosity that was posted here a while back. It's a shame what lots of money and very little taste can accomplish.

I'm with you Austin. I don't like that Mustang at all, but people really get into it.

>>Austin Healey didn't realise that when you create a car with lights this silly they are supposed to be attached to a pop-up mechanism so that they remain hidden during daylight.

Two more words....

Honda Insight


Well hats off to Honda for saving the planet - but was it really necessary to board up the rear wheels in order to get an extra 0.5 mpg?

Toyota Scion is pretty hideous.

..and that Mustang is disgusting. I don't care if it has 1000hp.

the one thing i hate about mustangs, and i always will... that stupid little fake air intake on the side just behind the door! what purpose does it serve!?!?!

as far as the honda insight, i've decided that the reason the electric cars are so dag ugly is because it's a conspiracy between automakers and oil companies. people won't by ugly cars (with the exception of the aztek... the element... pt cruiser... oh, bugger off, there's too many) and so they remain dependent on oil

Last year some kid put a cherry bomb in my mailbox and blew the front off of it--reminds me of the BACK end of that poor Mini!

Ugh, the only decent thing about that Mini is the BASF paint job, I love the multi-hues... but it deosn't work on a Mini too well with the white roof.

I do, however, like the Mustamg - glad Ford finally updated the platform after, what, 25 years? Though I'm not fond of the taillights... maybe a Ferrari Modena style double oval motif would work better. I just hope they're not too expensive, like what happened to the T-Bird.

You mean the Toyota Drive-By? Yeah it's hideous, but I hear it has a kick *** sound system. Although to me that doesn't make much of a difference.

Respectfully....you're NUTS! That's the best looking Mustang since 1970. The lines are so reminiscent of the Shelby GT!...Gorgeous. I would never have owned any Mustang past 1973...but this one I might buy.

Is this ugly too?

Well, clearly "ugliest" is in the eye of the beholder...but I'd vote for this:

Sorry to differ tspray... How can anyone who loves the MINI (esp. the classic MINI) NOT think that the 2CV has at least a little to offer?

The 7-series, the Z4, and any forthcoming BMW with either that screwy trunk or Chris Bangle's "flame surfacing."

The poor 5 series is doomed.

the Z4 does look better in person, but even so, that flame surfacing with the Glade Pop-Ups side repeater, and some of the proportions (loooong nose/stubby trunk) don't really do much for me.
