One parks next to me everyday, I think it's a gorgeous car.  This jalopnik survey is a joke.

Are you talking about the new one (in the list) or the old one? I didn't know the new TL is already on sale.
I think the old one looks very nice, but the new one ....  :hurl:
It's also true that the new TL is not ugly enough to make the top 10.

I have to say the 09 Toyota Matrix and only because of the gun slit windows. How Toyota could get a design so wrong (IMO) is just astonishing.

I'm sorry - I need something more than just a car that will last forever.  :-[

I think the stylists went 'back to the past' and used elements of the old Escort and Topaz coupes. Unfortunately they were not good looking cars....

I'm surprise the Ford E-Series hasn't been included. This has to be No1.

I’m glad I drive a 2006 WRX. I will have to wear a bag over my head for the first 6 months of STI ownership  :)

Saw my first current gen one yesterday coming into Chilliwack.  As it was coming up behind us and I saw it in my mirror, my first thought was "Why would some one rice up a Ford Focus?"  Then I saw what it was.  It has lost all appeal.  Not ugly, just plain and too much like others out there.  Too bad ...... :-\

Some kids have pin-up pictures of Avril Lavigne.  Some have pin-ups of Avro Arrow.  Some even jack off to pics of Ugly Betty.  Who cares?  All car manufacturers care about is "Do they sell"?  GM sold tens of thousands of Ugly Betty's (aka: Aztek) years ago.  I'm sure GM had a real good laugh along with many of us.  There's no accounting for peoples' tastes, good or bad.

No list of ugliest cars is complete without the Tonka Toy FJ Cruiser, which should come shipped in a shrink-wrapped cardboard box. Then there's the still-uuuuuggglly Subaru Tribeca - yuccchhh! :hurl: The '09 Nissan Maxima looks like a contender, and let's not leave out the house-on-wheels Armada. ;D

I would have to agree with a previous post...the new 2009 base model Matrix is one ugly automobile.

Maybe it's not quite as fugly as the previous model, but the new Tribeca's still pretty ugly IMO, kind of reminds me of a misshapen Pacifica. The dash looks like it was styled by someone with a heat-gun. I said it before and I'll say it again - yuccchhh!

I was following an old Vibe and new Vibe.  Side by side the old one looks better.  New one looks like they shrunk the rear and side windows. 

The Focus wouldn't be so bad if they didn't curve the headlights back. 

Any ways beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say.

Scoobs kind of look like Kias now. The Legacy however is still a nice looking car, esp in wagon form.
