skibum Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I have no regrets over the passing of the AMC Pacer, but vote the Chrysler 300 as the ugliest car on the road. Now I know where laid-off East German Wartburg designers went to work after 1989....DaimlerChrysler. Yuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsyGT Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I don't think there is one American car that has any appeal, they are all ugly. Lines don't flow, blocky, and not functional. Did I mention unreliable? Continuing to try and capitalize in the nostalgia market will not prove succesful for the big three. It s like they are throwing in the towel and saying we know our cars suck these days, so we will make them look like they did when people actualy bought American cars. Won't work. Ford GT? C6 Corvette convertible or Z06? Viper Coupe/convertible? Saleen S7? Panoz? XLR? ALL American cars are ugly without appeal? Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder, but, I think most people would disagree with you. If anything, from a design point of view, our LGTs are a little on the boring side. It makes them good sleepers because they look like Camry's (not a good thing, though) The Aztec is clearly one of the ugliest cars to come out in a long time- at least the XB is small and almost cute in an ugly way. The Aztec is big fat and ugly. Although Izuzu had that Vehicross which was pretty ugly too. In addition to Saturn, Mitsubishi had a pretty ugly lineup for a while. The Tribeca is not a pretty car. Has a good personality, but not good looking. A little change in the nose and it could kinda look like a Porsche Cayenne though. If it were nicer looking it would probably sell better (that and if gas were cheaper!) tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msmith Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Suzuki X90, anyone? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/bg/7/7f/Suzuki_X90.jpg Apart from being ugly, it was pointless... a 2-seater with no utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhesketh Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Okay, so when WAS a good year for AMC? Maybe 1968? (I worked at an AMC dealer in the late 70's and we were embarrassed by the cars.) neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Man, look at the prices on that poster. Prices have gone up almost 1000% in 30 years. (10x) But damn, those things are ugly. I think some of those AMC designers migrated to chrysler and now have been at GM for abou 15-20 years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needforsleep Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Xb still be the ugliest http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d175/AndersonAndrew/ScionXb.jpg I think it is a combination of the oversized front bumper and the overly boxy rear end. mann... i was going to get one of these this summer! I don't think it's ugly, just different. i like it. It has some nice standard features (iPod,AUX) and is pretty roomy. I'd rather drive this as a daily driver then a corolla or civic. Here's one of my favorites: http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/3071/rackscionara19en.jpg My ugliest car is the Aztec but that Isuzu is giving it a run for it's money. I don't think the Charger is all that bad. I only don't like it when it's yellow and has decals. I think it's hott in black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
