Ugly vehicles

Just wondering what y'all thought were the ugliest vehicles on the road. They can be past or present, but must have been production vehicles for public use.

Since they were introduced I thought (hoped) that no car manufacturer could come close to rivaling the outright ugliness of the Pontiac Aztek - although the Toyota Echo 2-door came damn close. That all changed when I stumbled across this monstrosity:

So, what's your pick?

Agree 100% on Aztek and Echo, but also the Honda Element:

I wish I still had a picture of my first car. It was a Mercury Merkur XR4TI. What a hideous looking pile of junk. :lol:

I think those 2 take the cake. They make me vomit when I just see them on the road. I just ask, "Why, why why??????"

Ok, I recognize the Element, but what's the first one? The new body style of the Aztec?

I'm trying to talk my boyfriend into a Mini once he gets home. He's 6'5", so I just think it would be really funny (and oddly enough, they have more legroom than most American nameplates).

Really? Wow!

And I agree on Hummers. I rear ended one once- I pushed the headlights on my mom's car back 12 inches and put a nasty scratch in the Hummer. And there's no good reason anyone in America needs a Hummer (the SAV, not the fun kind!)- if they wanted you driving there, they would've made a road!

That's okay, it's good to get duh'd every once in a while.

Now back to the subject at hand. I think the Yugo ranks right up there and searching I found this beauty. How would you like to ride to the prom in this?
