IMO this is a new step for automotive industry in ugliness......this car is Fugly....and to make it worse what is whith the advertising that suposedly this car represents the style for some new generation or crap like that......

this car's ugliness is rivaled by only one other car: the mighty honda element......i'm pretty sure the designers of both cars were smoking the same thing

this car can almost make even aztek look good:frown:in comparison

scion Xb

http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com/media/2003/laautoshow/04.scion.xb/xb.front34.500.jpg

Its not even in the league of an Azcrap. Not even close.

Azcrap still takes the prize for ugly- the Subaru Baja runs it very close though

woah woah woah

lets not insult the scion here

aztek is the winner hands down

come on you guys have to agree that the xb at least it gives the azteck a good run for its money.....i mean look at it its so nasty....its a rounded boxy looking POS:puke:

I think that the scion Xb, and the element tie for fugly car. The aztek is ugly but a least its not a rolling box. If I wanted one of those I'd put wheels on my refrigerator. Now that I think about it most cars are ugly these days.

Teh XB is better looking than the Element. The Element just uses too much of that gray plastic much like the Aztec did. It makes it look cheap and fuglier than it already is.

Lets not be too polite to the Element. It's not only the ugliest car ever made.. it's the ugliest thing ever produced by human beings. That and old Integras with fins on the back that are way too big and dont match.

Ugliest car ever? Even the Aztek needs to stand aside...

http://www.citrothello.net/images/AMI%206%20CR%2020%20big.jpg

You read my mind: Citroen Ami 6. Not even the Panhard Dyna can come close to this act of unperverted French "style"

Honda Element = The modern Hippy/Tree Hugger van

I can't wait to see the Element in a few years when all that plastic starts to fade. Hopefully it will fall apart before then. What a rattle trap.:lol:

It's a Honda- so chances are it'll be 30 years before the damn thing falls apart :(

Honda Element = the suckiest suck that ever sucked.



:puke:

Come on now, the Aztek is a good vehicle, people are happy with it, that's why they buy it, and some people even customize them...

Just in case someone wonders, these pictures are from the Aztek forum. Im pretty sure I would own that vehicle, I dont know about the rest of you, but I would.

That Aztek is the best looking ugly vehicle ever.

But, it's still an Aztek... HELL NO I wouldn't want it.

I live in Los Angeles, aka import car country. There really aren't that many Elements or Scion xBs around... I mean, suprisingly, I haven't seen an Element or a xB for at least 2 weeks. Maybe people do have taste after all. :iceslolan

how about none of these. it's all opinion.

how about none of these. it's all opinion.

Well, in any other circumstance I would agree, but this thread is pretty much for the purpose of ones opinion on the listed vehicles, so if you had to choose any of the vehicles listed, which would you choose as the ugliest?

I do have to admit... that aztec isnt that bad for such an ugly car

so if you had to choose any of the vehicles listed, which would you choose as the ugliest?

by far the element. i cant stand all that plastic. i don't like the aztec but i don't consider it ugly and i like the xB.

i saw a honda element yesterday and about :puke:

does anybody other than me think the 'smart city-coupe' looks ugly? it's so freakin' tiny and it just creeps me out. Anybody else think the same? :rolleyes: lol

Even bigger improvement...here is the photochop I posted a few days ago in another forum, with the high eyebrow-mounted turn signal lights beside the hood, and the overdone upper intakes removed:

http://members.webjnky.com/albums/All-Other-Cars/Widebody_Aztek_photochop.sized.jpg

But the point is...should a person HAVE to do this much work to a car just to make it look OK!?! Had the designers STARTED from this point, the car would have sold much better and received far less criticism.

I dont understand why people cant grasp the fact that there are those customers out there who like everything about these cars. They really arent bad vehicles, and there are people who do enjoy how they look. I think Im going to stick by a comment Ive made in other forums about this car "Dont knock it until you drive it" It really does handle nicely.

we are not bashing its performance we are bashing the looks.....even if drives as well as a ferrari IMO its still insanely ugly

The only people i ever hear make fun of it are the 10/15 people on this site, i never hear anyone around here make fun of the aztec or call it ugly. Just a select few people online that's all, i dont think that's gonna make GM have seconds thoughts about this car.

Then how can we explain it's lower than expected sales????

Definitly the Alfa Romeo Arna. A really nice collaboration between Alfa and Nissan... except they used Nissan's design with Alfa's build quality...

that aztec looks so much better with the photochop. how do car companies end up designing such ugly ass cars? i dont get it.

Among old cars the Citroen is definitely a tough competitor, but speaking of modern cars, have you guys ever seen the Fiat Multipla? :grinno:

http://www.zsh.net/upload/files/Multi1.jpg

http://www.zsh.net/upload/files/Multi2.jpg

ok that photochop id almost swear is a vibe not an aztek you can not make that car that elongated and almost sleek look. and the aztek while it may handle well is a pos the electrical fails after about 25k miles, has continus other problems, and depreciate faster than you can possibly pay it off. 9 mos old and only worth 9k dollars vs the neer 30k originaly paid for it has to say something.

Trust me ssj, the photoshop is indeed an Aztek.

The pic of the heavily modded one was already a big improvement, with the owner having rounded the wheel wells, flared the fenders, painted the car one color, upsizing the rims, etc.

The photoshopping (which I photoshopped too by the way!) was just removing the upper turn signals and two extra inlets from the top of the hood.

Doesn't take too much to clean it up significantly!

Honda Element = the suckiest suck that ever sucked.



:puke:
:grinyes:

I hate the way the Element looks, its disgusting, in my opinion i dont think the box look will ever work for me, its just to boring...

The Aztek takes it easy....the Greddy Scion actually looks really good,and the Honda Element can be tuned to alright.But no matter what you do with the Aztek,it still looks like shit.

All of 'em, never liked the Boxy shaped cars.

yeh definetly the Fiat Multipla

In my opinion the previous hyunday tiburon is the ugliest car ever built.

:iagree: :iagree: :iagree: :iagree: :iagree:
The element wins hands down, no questions asked!!

Anyone who have been thinking that the Element is ugly...please take a look at this
http://www.honda.co.jp/news/2003/images/4031105c.jpg
From Honda.co.jp
It has Off road sport suspension, High performance Brembo Disc Brake, 21 inch wheels and tyres...

first of all that looks like a rapper's element...which is even worse


second? Offroad sport suspension...so its offroad or sport?

and offroard suspension with 21 inch wheels

that is such a joke....that honda concept is full of oximorons

Well, new ideas are always being teased. Like Copernicus

Well, new ideas are always being teased. Like Copernicus



I really hope you are joking....because if you really think that this Snoop Dog version of the element with 21 inch wheels and low profile tires can make it offroad.....its sad


you are familiar with how unsprung weight will affect a car i presume?tehn you'll unsderstand how bad 21 inchers will be

And I'm pretty sure Copernicus would not have designed 21 in wheels with low profile tires to go offroad since he a brilliand physicist and not a rapper

Anyway, if Honda says they can make it, then just let them make it and we can all see the result, it's just pointless to say about it before it's made, right?

OMG you are not joking...do you know anything about cars....do you have any common sense because both will tell you that 21 inch wheels with low profile tires cannot go offroad....

sorry if i am a bit harsh...but i do recomend hanging out in the parts of the forum that are more technical

and trust me on this one...21 inch wheels are good only for looks....nobody would bother to make forged ones since they are meant only for the show off market so they weight insanly much and that is unsprung weight(if you would like i could explain you why the usnprung weight matters so much)

that thing in the picture would be way worse offroad than even the X5 and the x5 is a tarmac SUV

you need to see past marketing buzzwords that manufacturesr put out...manufactures decieve people as a matter of fact

i'll gurantee you this my cougar will have better offroad capabilities than that car.....

beside the 21 inch wheels...loot at it...it will have no suspension travel

and as far as sport suspension that won't help a car with such an obvious high roll center....it dosn't help in cornering to flip over

Lets not be too polite to the Element. It's not only the ugliest car ever made.. it's the ugliest thing ever produced by human beings.
lol, i 100% agree the element is ugliest car ever hands down.

the element? i dont think it looks THAT bad... i mean i would have to give the ugliest car award to..... [long pause & drum roll] the NISSAN CUBE.... suprisingly it looks like a CUBE!!!

http://www.carpage.hu/cube2.jpg
http://www.carpage.hu/cube1.jpg

Lets not be too polite to the Element. It's not only the ugliest car ever made.. it's the ugliest thing ever produced by human beings.
Well, at least Buicks are still everywhere in this country.

sadly but truly i have decided to take the award away from the nissan cube, though very ugly.... n giving it too....... the HONDA FUYA-JO

http://www.uglycars.co.uk/images/guest/fuya-jo2.jpg

i wonder wut spinners would look like on those 3 inch wheels lol :lol:

if they produce that thing in the states, i'm commiting suicide. for that would be the down fall of modern civilization.

After seeing this many ugly cars, I think I'm going to pluck my eyes out now. Oh I voted for the Azcrap. Element being a close second, and I don't think I've ever seen that XB.
BTW, just looking at that that Honda FUYA-YO sent chills down my spine! :eek: :eek7:

Oh and I think that cube thing is worse than the element now looking at it again.
Personally, I can't think of ANY good looking cars that are new. I stick to 70's and 80's. Now retro or ''euro'' crap for me, Hopefully ever. But I don't know, these new pollution laws in PA are getting strict. Good thing I own a 73', it is exempt. Hopefully forever. My 77' I have to register as a classic, and my 87' will pass the test. Damn emission laws.

honda element and pt cruiser are the ugliest to me. just an opinion.

The element looks ugly and cheap. The aztek is just ugly. Supposedly you either love or hate the xB, I personally like it for what it is.

yeah the xb is a pretty cool concept but i like the xa better

My opinion,

Element
Scion Xb
Asstek

The element and the Scion are the worst to me, not just because they're ugly, but because,

A. People are actually paying for cars that have almost more plastic than steel

B. Toyota and Honda, PAYED, someone to design these. Lemme get a refrigerator box, (a real fridge has too much metal to be an equal to either of these cars, so cardboard will do), cut windows into it, paint it and put wheels on it. Tada! Toyota and Honda, you have your new vehicle and I'll only charge you half price for the designing of it.

have to say the aztek is still uglier. the box look is fugly yes, but better than....that, aztek thing. like WTF IS THAT? they were smoking a whole new herb. the box crap thing is moreso, not so drugged up.

My opinion,

Element
Scion Xb
Asstek

And you're saying the Asstek isn't a big pile of plastic poo???? :confused:

In my opinion they are all ugly in their unique ways, the scion and element are boxes with engines, the aztec, well... can't describe that, between them though i'd have to say the scion b/c the aztec is out because it is a pontiac and the element isn't as boxy as a element.(never thought i'd ever say anything like that.) My all-time ugliest car is the 1974 Ford Pinto
http://people.txucom.net/gswaybright/images/cars/PINTO.JPG :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

hey, that guys a stud...GTO is that you?

nope. that was taken off the google search engine under Images: 1974 Ford Pinto Its funny how he looks proud to own that piece of crap. :loser:

Pfft,are you crazy?That there is a beutiful piece of machinery.LEt me tell you sir that you have terrible taste in cars.I had almost mistaken that Pinto for your GTO.:p:lol2:

i like the scion, and the element, no the looks of the element, but i like the interior and size, it is like, the best road trip car and it has tons of room but it doesn't show it, and for me i dont care how a car looks i only like how it performs, or how it is comfortable, and the scion.....just looks cool to me but its kinda so-so on certain people i have friends that luv it, and some that think its weird.

Ass-tech by a mile. The afore mentioned Subaru wouldn't look half as bad if it weren't canary yellow. The ugliest car i've ver seen was a worn out Dodge coronet station wagon that was as long as a football field and was large enough to house a family of four (and I think it did). The sides of this thing stuck out so far that you could actualy sit where the doors meet the windows. Yet when this car was made we were the strongest country (or 2nd I guess) in terms of nukes and other higher technology. I don't get it.....

Hey what about the new Kia Amanti? It looks like ass.

Hey what about the new Kia Amanti? It looks like ass.
You see Mercedes' headlight, couldn't think of the grill, but just a copy of different brands...

could not agree with you more

I'd have to say the nissan titon and armada are up there too

yeah they are, they try TOO hard to look tough.

thats a tough one!!...i worked on an element the other day and its funny cause if you look inside one its round, and outside its square....hmmmm...someone had to rush to finish the project for honda huh? :)

All these cars that are being discussed are all crap there's no one winner they all win at sucking.
It's a consumer niche market where a bunch of old dudes think they know what the young generations want,
and the end result is this pile of shitty cars.
Why do they bother? There are still the bandwagon hoppers that buy them. :banghead:

That new buick minivan thing...forgot what it's called. Ugly as sin.

...couldn't think of the grill...

Try Panther Lima :2cents:

Any big SUV. :flipa:

Get a clue, then get a real car.

These new squared, boxy cars are designed for blockheads.

Any big SUV. :flipa:

Get a clue, then get a real car.
Chevy Avalanche? Buick Rendezvous? Caddy Escalade? H2? Pacifica?

All of the above. I just don't get why you'd need a car that big,
they're ugly,
get horrid gas milelage,
roll over in the slightest turn,
it'll crush anything smaller than it.......do I need to keep on about this?

Totally agreeing here... BTW trhe new buick thing...I think it is like LACrosse or something. But who cares! IT's FUGLY!!!

the ugliest car......FORD MUSTANG

the newer ones.....

Really? I thought they were okay...but okay!

Smart, Renault Twingo or BMW 1 series from the new ones.
EDSEL, Dodge Dart or Citroen AMi 6 from the oldies...

Please, fellas...even the cubecars can't compete with the ugliest of ugly:

http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/amcpacer/photo2b.jpg

new cars: Nissan Maxima, Honda Insight, Subaru Baja, Mitsubishi Diamante and Galant.
old cars: 90's buick skylark and oldsmobile cutlass, Avanti, 90's Chevy Caprice (especially the wagon with the wood on the side!)

People who want to go out and buy a new car along the lines of a Scion is the result of years of research *snicker* at absurd shows like Hot Import Nights to develop something for the new gereration of drivers. People get hyped up from adverts and publicity with no prior knowledge of anything to do with cars. Dumb kids get what they're told is made for them and it's hip and other sweetened lines to grab their attention. Rarely does anyone look into what the car is and whether or not it does what its supposed to do. All the subs, neon and nitrous in the world still can't make true, the fact that these new cars are worth taking a second glance at.

Please, fellas...even the cubecars can't compete with the ugliest of ugly:

It's not ugly, it's retro ghetto shiek! LOL :rofl:

does nobody like the scion xb? i luved it, and when you test drive one you would to, they're great, and there is so much room, it is the perfect road trip vehicle, hands down.

"So much room" Any old American granny yacht.

Add to that the feeling of riding on air in your la-z-boy recliner and air conditioning that can practically grow ice on the vents and you have a real road trip vehicle. Not a Scion Xb.

The Scion Xb is a marketing ploy that probably didn't cost Toyota jack shit to make, (another plastic fantastic, didn't cost a dime to design the looks of it, uses minimal parts), and for some reason, people enjoy buying a box on wheels. Shrink a Kenworth or Peterbuilt Semi. They'd look better and run longer, but still be just as boxy as anyone likeing Scions could love.

Chevy Avalanche? Buick Rendezvous? Caddy Escalade? H2? Pacifica?


Yeah and you forgot Nissan Armada, Toyota Sequoia, Highlander, Honda Pilot etc. etc.

There are a lot of ugly cars I just can't choose one! All Scions, Aztek, Avalanche, anything from Nissan, Element take your pick!

Cool avatar Filthy S.

Well,im gonna have to go with....The Nissan stanza.http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/uploads/115898/nissanstanzawagon6.jpg Stylish.

i think that further into the future people will start to like cars like that, and other companies will start it, and when its made cheaper, its cost is cheaper to, and the scions isn't really much plastic, no more than any other normal car.

The 'edgy' look is futuristic, but I think when people think of 'edgy' they're not thinking of a bunch of parallel lines... they're thinking more of an aggressive flow, not a Picasso masterpiece. Cubism needs to die and stay dead, especially when it can move and assault other peoples eyes with its hideousness.

Cool avatar Filthy S.

Last of the V-8 interceptors, a piece of history. Be a shame to blow her up.

I would have to agree with Neutrino on this one. That scion is just downright horrid. I agree the Aztec is ugly, but at least it has some angles on it that isn't 90 degrees. The scion, on the other hand, looks like it was drawn by a 3 year-old...

wow, in this thread I managed to run inot several awful looking cars but speaking of the modern ones, I could point out BMW 5 and 6 series, along with Hummer and Pontiac Aztek

OK I've got a new nomination, the last Ford Scorpio and it's look alike, the Ssangyong Chairman

I would consider the Honda Element in the same category with the Scion. It's just as ugly. I could design both cars all by myself, without consulting anyone else

My uggliest car was the plymouth k car , went like a bastard tho lol the element is different and goofy looking but not that uggly compared to a suzuki aerios which is also different and goofy looking but still not the uggliest , I think the VW hippy van was UGLY plain gross lol sorry vw.

One of the ugliest cars produced must be the Pacer or Prarie. Of cars being produced today? Impreza.
