Default THE Ugliest / Fugliest car ever?

The Citroen DS21 gets my vote.

Every time I see it pop up on old TV episodes or films from that era I just can't believe anyone would ever look at it, and think "I'd love to be seen in that!"

Note the stylish rear turn signals located on the roof.






Trend-setting ( ) one-spoke steering wheel



Also note the second seat in the front is for the crewmember's position of "Radio Operator," not a passenger. 'Cause the driver would pretty much be able to easily access the radio as dive over and dig around in the glove box while driving.




I can't find a good angle on this steaming pile-o'-feces.






It looks like something Cruella DeVille would find herself right at home in.




What car gets your vote?

I would own that car 11 times out of 10 over the Pontiac Aztec.

Front end is very jaguar-ish.

Not because of looks, but because of principle, I concur.

We had one at a used car lot I worked at. Everybody cringed when the owner brought it back from the auction.

When I got lucky and sold it, the sales manager ran around the dealership ringing a cowbell to celebrate.

Old Patrick Jane rocks one on the "Mentalist" show......



I'm sure that show has pushed up prices of the car, which btw was way ahead of it's time in a lot of ways.....like fully adjustable air suspension.

I'm with Datawiz on this one--one more vote for the aztec. No, I will not capitalize its name.

Any recent Mazdas with that wide mouth look. I fell like saying "What the hell are you smiling for?"


Also Gremlins and Geo Metros...

They did one of those on Wheeler Dealers and both Ed and Mike were talking about how advanced it was for its time
