    I was reading Ianb's reply yesterday about the number of good looking vs ugly cars the Italians make and thought we needed a thread about the ugliest cars you've ever seen.

    Unfortunately there are a few Ferraris amongst them but let's see what other people think is ugly

    The 2CV comes to mind immediately and the Bambino (sorry Kerrari but it's got a face only a mother could love :D )

    Any Yank tank from the 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s bar the Corvette or any stretched limo :D

    Weird doesn't count, it has to be downright UGLY

    here's what the Yanks do with ugly cars ..... top effort

    2CV wins in a landslide.

    Daihatsu Copen.

    The ugliest little thing ever, it's a Noddy car.

    Daewoo Matiz.

    Another car that is taller than wide, and that never looks right.

    Most things from Korea now that I think about it...

    Ford Taurus from the 90s.

    Was that thing designed by Bangle? It just goes in and then out and then bulges a bit more.

    I'm sure I'll think of a million more.

    Why just stop at looks?Try engineering too, or should i say lack of.

    I like the pick-up-trucks though, and so do Americans, millions sold each year.

    Currently, the worst offender by miles would have to be BMW, talk about losing the plot.C/B use to work at FIAT, just think that he could have got promoted to Ferrari....

    the dirt probably wasn't the owners fault, he was probably led up the "garden path" :D

    Any BMW after the E36. They were handsome cars in a wierd sort of a way but now they look like a German on crack penned them, which is probably true.

    I vote for the current BMW 6.

    I was looking at an M6 parked outside my hotel here in London yesterday. This should be the best looking version, lowered susp with big wheels, skirts, etc. But its still horrible. The nose/bumper reversed strakes that run into the bonnet and accentute the bad panel gaps (are they poking fun at Lexus?) and the totally awful bootlid. Inside, nothing about the dashboard says "sportscar", it says "taxi". Fantastic engine, probably handles great too, but its ugly to the bone.

    Bangle did the Fiat Coupe, the one with the slashes over the wheels and the first car to put the headlights under plastic panels in the bonnet. Very clever. Looks good in the flesh and it had a turbo 5 Cyl that was very quick.

    OK besides 99% of Volvos how about the Renault Fuego or the aussie look a like the Holden Piazza turbo.The Subaru Vortex has to be up there as well.I like almost every Italian car but some of the early Lancias and the Alfa Romeo Arna(luckily it never came out here) were pretty fugly
