Ugliest cars of all time

While searching for information on auto production, I came across an article on Spike.com listing the 7 Ugliest Cars Ever Built.

I was happy to see one of my top choices was on the list, the Pontiac Aztek:

The picture doesn’t do it justice (or, it does it too much justice) as it’s really the rear end that’s particularly ugly. Here’s what Spike said:

Unfortunately, Pontiac ignored the warning signs and produced this malformed atrocity, and the Aztek was almost immediately hailed as one of the ugliest automotive designs of all time.

This stigma apparently just fueled Pontiac’s designers even more, as they began adding more plastic moldings, chrome pieces, and various lights and vents - perhaps in an attempt to confuse and distract potential buyers into some sort of purchase-crazy frenzy before they could come to their senses.

Mercifully, it didn’t work, and the Aztek was gone after 2005, concluding its four year run.

What are the ugliest cars you’ve seen?
