Won't argue about any, as much is personal taste.
The BMW Series 7 doesn't look bad to me, nor the new VW Bug.
I'm amused every time I see an Aztek, and almost laugh, so I don't
see them as "ugly." More like funny.
The one that I commonly see that just plain strikes me as ugly enough
to almost change my mood downward is the Element.
Never looked into the features - maybe they have some redeeming
qualities.
But I'd no more criticize a man's car than I would his wife.
Not to his face, anyway.
I've driven some pretty ugly rust buckets. But my wives have been
pretty.

I always considered an Aztek (never owned one) as an especially ugly
car. One man's ugly can be someone else's "really neat".

It's all a matter of taste.. I actually think some of those cars look
pretty good (Ferrari Enzo, Toyota van, Subaru Baja, Toyota Prius, VW New
Beetle, DeLorean). The Volvo 240, and BMW 7 Series don't look too bad
either - I don't think those are ugly at all; there are certainly some
on that list that are a lot uglier. I don't think the Chrysler PT
Cruiser is too bad looking either, at least from the front.
I'm surprised to find some of those cars on that list, honestly.

A lady friend and I rented a Fiat Multipla in Oslo airport once, because it
was
all they had. It performed fine but was so ugly we wanted to park it and
back
away from it.

Nah, bland maybe but not coyote ugly like an Aztek.

It would have been simpler to just post 50 pictures
of any Toyota? Mike Hunt
LOL. Tweaking the Toyotaphiles again.

Once again Mike Hunter has said the sky is falling.

on it and that's the only way I can tell which car is what. What is
everyone's opinion of the ugliest car-- maybe in the last 30 or so
years? Personally, I can't think offhand of anything uglier than the
humpbacked Sevilles of the early 80's, and those funny looking Malibus
and their sister cars that were also of similar humpback style-- late
70's? The 73 LeMans also is in the running. Other's opinions??

Plymouth.. More importantly which where the best looking?
My vote goes to the 1941 Lincoln Continental, prior to WWII and the 1953
Studebaker after the war. The '57 Chevy HT is still very popular at car
shows, but IMO the '56 HT had much better lines overall, nearly as gaudy.

'64 Olds Holiday 88. 4-door hard top.
Beige, with reverb.

Plymouths, while certainly not pretty, were not hideous IMO. Agree about
the Chevys, and 64 Olds as among the nicest. Especially 62, 62 and 64
Starfires-- they are among my favorites--period. I saw a girl I went to
school with, at the reunion two weeks ago. I never actually knew her
personally, but the main thing I remember about her was the absolutely
gorgeous maroon 62 Cadillac 4 window 4 door hardtop she drove. While the
normal sane teenage boys of that era (late 60's) dreamed of 55, 56 and
57 Chevys, I drooled over that car. I peeked inside it in the parking
lot one day and my jaw dropped-- a Mark!V hanging under the dash, and
crank windows. It must have worked ok, I never saw her with the windows
down. I later heard the story on it, but I don't remember--- after 40+
years--I think someone from way up north traded it in down there--S Tx,
and her dad got it for next to nothing and had the a/c added.Some time
before we graduated, they traded it on a metallic blue 65 or 66
Fleetwood, that wasn't a fraction a pretty as that 62. I'd have given
everything I owned plus several body parts to have had it. Larry

The past 50 years doesn't go past 1959....
