The ugliest car ever made?
Dur
too fine a point on it, some cars are not beautiful. The proportions
are off, or the detailing is overwrought, or a prominent design
element clashes with the rest of the styling, or it's bland and
boring, or something's just ... not quite right.
And then there are those select few that are total aesthetic
disasters. Not just ugly, but dog ugly. Butt ugly.
Warthog-beaten-with-an-ugly-stick ugly. Cars it hurts just to look at.
Today's subject is such a car. It was voted "the ugliest car ever
made" by the readers of CarData, Whether that's exactly right or
wrong--I can think of a few other contenders for that dubious
honor--this car is nevertheless one whose body panels insult the very
steel they were stamped out of. Continue reading only if you be men
and women of valor, for the styling of this automobile is so just
plain wrong that it would make even an Aztek owner recoil in horror...

The BMW X3 is ugly enough? LOL.

Sometimes ugly and utile go together.

Nissan Cube, Honda Element, AMC Gremlin, Pontiac Aztek, Scion xB (which
managed to get even uglier after the last redesign) are far uglier than
the TL. Still, it's too bad about the TL. Up until 2003 it was a very
attractive vehicle.

You misunderstood again Mike.
When he said the TL is a Doozy, he meant it was well in the running
for "Ugliest car ever built".
Beats just about any Toyota less than 15 years old. ( I mean for UGLY,
not for looks)
Some of the old Crowns and Coronas were definitely ugly, but the later
stuff is just "pedestrian".
For manufacturers,Daihatsu beat Toyota on the ugly scale, and Subaru
has definitely been pushing hard (think Tribeca and WRX) along with
Mitsubishi (the EVO frontend is just an example) but I don't think any
current manufacturer in the North American market has a firm hold on
the title, accross the board.
They've ALL designed and built and foisted on the American public some
pretty AWFULL designs - along with some real beautys.
However, beauty is DEFINITELY in the eye of the beholder, and what You
may think is beautiful I may think is horrendous, and Vise Versa.

"doozy" implies it's a Deusenberg. They went belly up in 1937...

The LFA is fine, a bit overpriced, but fine. Yaris isn't ugly, it's
actually cute. In the past there were Supra, MR2 and AE86. All nice cars
in my eyes.
Actually the worst line-up is BMW's, I insist. Great engines, good
cars... but bloody awful aesthetically. The 1 series is a laugh, for
instance.

good as a Duisenberg, one of the finest car ever made. Nothing Toyota ever

I've seen a Toyota 2000 at a major show - only a couple in North
America, as well as several early Corollas and Celicas. I've also seen
a very nice blue UP7 (known as the 7-up) - precursor to the Starlet
(KP Series) of the early 80s at a local show.

Lots of Datsun 240Z and 510 cars at any show with a motorsport theme.
Also at any "import" or "sports car" show.
You just don't get out enough Mike.

Figaro lovers everywhere should thank Shoji Takahashi, a Japanese designer
who took his inspiration from the popular Swatch watches and the idea of
giving identical products different casings. From the Japanese 'boutique'
movement in car design, a retro fashion car was unveilled at the 1989 Tokyo
Motor Show under the slogan 'Back to the Future.' The Figaro was part of the
'Pike' series of retro cars produced by Nissan between 1987 and 1991.
Initially just 8000 cars were produced but demand meant the production of a
further 12000 and Nissan made the following press release in February 1991:
