Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are a few vehicles on that list that I happen to like.

I agree with the whole list, with the exceptions of the Paceman, and the Legacy!

And then there were those people who actually liked the Pontiac Aztec. There's just no accounting for taste.

I am always skeptical about articles that do not explain how they determine the lists and a author that is NOT listed! Obviously, the author is hiding or busy working his other gig as food reporter working on his ten worst restaurants list. Just gives me another reason not waste money on Car & Driver.

I like the Paceman, and opted for the Countryman because I needed the extra doors for my Golden Retrievers.

Ugly:
500L
Versa Sedan
MKT
QX all the things
4Runner

Maybe awkward but not necessarily ugly:
5-series GT
Paceman

Just plain boring:
Pilot
200

Not sure why it's on the list:
Legacy/Outback


Can't believe it's not on the list:
Nissan Cube
Scion iQ
Murano Cross Cabriolet (which also wins the "OMG Why The F*** Would They Ever Build This award")
Possibly the new Cherokee

Probably the worst list I've seen. The Legacy is just a nice standard sedan and the Pilot is a nice standard SUV. I dont agree with much on that list and seems like a hurried list released by CD without much research.

C&D was always about writing controversial stuff in hopes of getting people talking about (and then buying) their mag. I did it for about 6 mos a few years ago and stopped reading C&D cuz all they wanted to write about was their opinion of how things should be. It got tiring (& boring) very quickly for me.
