Cars You Think Are Just Ugly

I saw a picture of this new 2013 Cadillac and I literally gasped at it's ugliness.

I can't figure out why it has a grill and a half, and headlights and a half. That look is not going to age well. WTH?


What cars make/made you go ?

Extra Points for pics!

My neighbors has a new Caddy, they look and sound great in person, although I prefer the swoopier designs of the Tesla S and the Panamera.
Everybody I guess has their own taste, my nephew still mentions how he wants an Aztec when he sees one.

Anything Cadillac makes, all car makers are trying to establish their "corporate face" & then it continues to grow bigger. Speaking of big ugly faces how about those beaks on Acuras, & the once ok Audi's have gotten way out of proportion too.

I love my HHR Panel - it's the regular HHRs I find ugly. Though I've always been partial to Panel trucks & Sedan Deliveries.

Wow! There are some fuglies out there! Points all around, for those of you who posted pics! :dance:

I wanted to add one of my least favorites, the El Camino. I remember seeing these around town, when I was a kid, and wincing.

It's a car. No, it's a truck. No, it's a car. No, it's a . . .

Seriously, I've seen a couple of these in the LA area recently and I have to say they are one of the ugliest automobile body designs actually driving on the roads today IMHO. I guess Honda went for aerodynamics over aesthetics in a large way when they designed these gems!

I think the Honda Insight design was chosen to enable the driver to look down his/her nose at drivers they felt were inferior.
