The ford contour was Fugly, but the Yugo takes the cake as the worst production car of all time.. My math teacher in high school test drove a new one and the window crank fell off!

I like the Honda Element.

Sorry to offend the Ford focus owners...



Now that Aztek is something of a wierd... I don;t know what.. I joke around with my sister telling her that the guy we see with the car is going to loose his girlfriend.

What a choice of vehicles.

Now that was a real heap of crap!
To compound the felony we had one racing in "Sports Sedans" powered? by a Rover/Leyland/B.O.P. derived V8.
Not only was it fugly, it also leaked oil, blew up on a regular basis and various parts fell off it!
Bad cars .... I guess they need to be classified by Nationality.
USA ... the Edsel was ugly and any MPV/SUV a waste of resources......truly gross, the 'revived' Duesenberg/Stutz/any other classic you can think of that Virgil Exner attempted to 'style'!
The 'old' Eastern Bloc, Trabant of course but you've got to include the Wartburg for the name alone.
Japan, where do you begin .... Honda S600 and 800, as well as the cruddy range of sub-1000cc minicars .... and the horrible aircooled Honda 1300 Coupe from 1973!
Australia, most domestic Holdens and Fords, the Leyland P76 and the Lightburn Zeta ... any home built Bolwell.
Italy, where to begin, the home of 'off the factory floor' oil dripping rust buckets ...
The UK ....
India ... the 'Really Bad Morris Oxford from the '50s' being rebirthed in India .... but they still build Royal Enfields there as well!
France .. the Simca Vedette ..... powered by a Ford V8-60 ....
Korea, pick an Hyundai..any Hyundai...or worse, the Daiwou(?)
Malaysia ... easy, Proton!
This could roll on .... and on .....

The base models are REALLY basic....and the better models are way overpriced.
I guess you've never seen the Commodore 'Ute' tricked out with a V8, yards of stuck-on 'Aero Kit' plastic and a really stupid 'Wing' mounted on the tailgate?
Worse still .... some idiots 'race' them .... Ack!
And Ford are just as bad ...

I've got one that no one has mentioned. It's the AMC Pacer. Ever see one of those on the road anymore? I doubt it. As for Fords, there are still a lot of Mustangs out there. I mean the old ones, 1965 and 1966. What do you expect from a car that old? Give me a 1965-66 Shelby convertible and I'll be a happy man.
