Not that I've seen one in years, mind.

And, deviating slightly from this thread topic, it's not so much the ugliness of this one, as its total unsuitability for this particular task...
(although I have to say that there's something deeply uncool about Smart cars...)
A few years back, I saw Coulthard driving one of those in Monte Carlo!

for a few years the PT cruiser convertible was the ugliest on the roads
the hardtop is bad enough but the convertibel is even worse
for a start it has an ugly roll bar
it looks even worse with the roof up. the rear end comes up too high and the flat back looks awful
I'm so glad I didn't buy that...

Very popular with Goths. Saw shedloads of them at the Whitby Goth weekend last year. Must be their hearse-like shape.

not the only raver in the village
Is it just me that finds most twin top convertibles ugly? Soft tops (like my old Saab) are often lovely but designers rarely manage to get the folding metal roof right. They seem to focus on how it looks with the roof down, not with how it’ll be 80% of the time - roof up
Colt CZC
Micra
and the worst, cos it's the biggest and most noticeable - Focus
I'd still take any of those over the PT cruiser

Barf!
I don't think the old Chevette's ugly - in fact, I think it's quite a well-proportioned little car. It's not bad to drive either: rather slow thanks to its elderly engine, but the handling's good fun in a rear-drive, tail-sliding kind of way.

I rather like the old Chevette. It's not bad to drive either: rather slow thanks to its elderly engine, but the handling's good fun in a '70s rear-drive, tail-sliding kind of way.
Wasn't there a bonkers version made at some point with a big turbo engine?
Chevette HSR
It wasn't turbocharged: it had the 2.3 engine from the Magnum. A very successful rally car in its day...
They even *looked* like skips, didn't they? Apparently they were hard to park, since no part of the edge of the car was actually visible from the driver's seat.
And that photo looks like 3 Princesses that just got abandoned where they were
What a piece of shite!
Ahhh, I was trying to remember that one!
AIR, even the Americans thought it was shit. When I was a kid, someone who lived near us had one - they were probably diplomatic or Services over from the US. It looked extremely weird in amongst lots of early 1970s Brit cars.
It must have been great driving around in one in the late '70s for pure decadence.
Yes, until it broke down...

how did this thread get to page 3 without the BMW X6?
the picture doesn't convey how massive it is .
*shudder*
I had an X6 for a week while BMW had a 19th attempt at sorting out the ECU on my 635d. It's quite a good drive, very practical, sounds like a Warrior APC and looks like something out of Halo. I might be tempted if wasn't on an anti-BMW fatwah.
I offer the Ligier JS4 as the last word in ugliness. It seems you need the sort of national self-confidence and cultural certainty of the type that the Americans and French posses to make truly horrific cars.

You can't park here sir

and looks like it was designed by a 4 year old

Ahhh, the good old Forward Control Land Rover. Amazing, what we make our military put up with...!

Biscuter Zapatilla. Proof that fascist countries can make cars that are as criminally bad as the product of any commie shithole. And it had one wheel (front right) drive.

Daaaaaaayum! That's fugly!Driving through Saffron Walden this morning and I saw the mythical Pontiac Aztec.
Must have been an American serviceman's family or summat who had brought the damn thing over, as thankfully these things have never seen our shores.
Bit of a shock really, need a cup of tea now.

That's weirdly cute. Not in the same ugliest car evah league as the pontiac.
