Author Topic: Ugliest car in production in DECADES Ron Yost Master Film Handler Posts: 344 From: Paso Robles, CA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-11-2003 05:46 PM                     Square seems 'in' in California, for sure. Fugly Elements all over the place, driven by what appear to be perfectly normal middle-aged white guy geeks. Obviously an alien invasion of some kind is taking place. I think I saw two tiny things sticking out of the neck of one of the owners. I'm checking it further.

Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-11-2003 10:58 PM                     I can't stand the Pontiac Aztek either. It makes me think of some kind of kitchen appliance that sharpens knives or stores them. Or maybe it squeezes orange juice. I don't know. It doesn't look like a proper car or even a traditional station wagon.  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-12-2003 02:47 AM                        Paul Trimboli said: quote: Bah the Fiat Multipla is not that bad, maybe the orginal model is not the best.

USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-12-2003 06:39 AM                        The Aztek is indeed fugly. Supposedly it was intended to appeal to the under-30 crowd, yet I don't know anyone my age (26) who thinks that it's anything but ugly. But, then, what do I know about automobile aesthetics? I drive a Volvo station wagon.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-12-2003 07:10 AM                  A Volvo? Gosh Scott, I didn't know you were a 40-something in the body of a 26 Y/O! No Wait! A station wagon? Make that a old fart in a 26 y/o body! Also Dick, a duck-billed platypus is a really cool animal! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-12-2003 07:53 AM                        Phil You're right perhaps I should have worded my reply better. Like the Multipla the DBP looks as though it's been put together from all the parts left over from previous models  |  IP: Logged Gracia L. Babbidge Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 709 From: Bowdoin, Maine Registered: Aug 2000 posted 09-12-2003 07:59 AM                        As the driver of a beat up Citation II, I shouldn't say too much about vehicles being fugly ... but dayum! The sight of the Aztek makes me cringe. Thankfully, my car runs much better than it looks... then again, what do you want for free? There are many times when I miss driving the '79 Volvo I used to drive - that sucker was mustard yellow.  |  IP: Logged David Rigby Expert Film Handler Posts: 134 From: Chorlton, Manchester, UK Registered: May 2002 posted 09-12-2003 10:04 AM                     What is it with car designers these days? I thought things had taken a turn for the worst with that godawful PT Cruiser thing, but these new models are just unbelievable! (Every time I see a PT Cruiser I really have to fight the urge to kick it) It seems like we've come full circle in some ways - the Aztek reminds me of some of the horrible 70's Citren bodyshells. Everyone used to laugh at them then - and that was in the 70s!!! David  |  IP: Logged Robert E. Allen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1078 From: Checotah, Oklahoma Registered: Jul 2002 posted 09-13-2003 04:32 PM                     The PT Cruiser gets my vote for ugliest car. I miss the days of being able to go the the showrooms each new model year and checking out the really new cars. Today they all seem to look alike from year to year and manufacturer to manufacturer. I can't tell a Ford from a Chevy or Chrysler or Honda or whatever. Maybe the designers have run out of ideas.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 09-14-2003 09:35 AM                     To me, a PT Cruiser looks like a hearse. I had a Fiat X-1/9 which looks good, until a few years go by. Then, like all Fiats, it turns back into iron ore and looks ugly.  |  IP: Logged Don E.

People said it looked "like a pregnant egg". When I first saw a PT Cruiser, I thought someone had restored a 1940s era car. I've seen several Azteks and it's a wonder people buy them. I knew one guy that bought one and he told us, "I'm about to buy the ugliest vehicle ever made" but he said he really liked some of the features it had.  |  IP: Logged Scott Jentsch Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1061 From: New Berlin, WI, USA Registered: Apr 2003 posted 09-15-2003 05:10 PM                        Anyone who has seen "Wrong Turn" will realize what a bad idea that tent on the back of an Aztek is... My vote for ugliest car is the Toyota Echo: http://www.toyota.com/vehicles/2004/echo/exterior.html Sure, there are others, but this is the most recent I've seen.  |  IP: Logged
