It is impossible for FIAT to build an ugly car! if you do not see beauty, there is something wrong with your eyes!
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the Nissan Rasheen or theDaihatsu Midget II.
Well, to me the Rasheen looks like an old Jeep Cherokee. The Midget2 is a hideous piece of ugly though.
Then I guess I’ll have to gouge out my eyes, then!
I just got back from the NY Auto Show, where I saw one of these crates in person.
If possible, it’s fuglier. Plus the show model was fully armed with a gigantic Pioneer audio system occupying much of the back.
I can’t wait to have one of those parked outside my window.
I’m gonna start stockpiling bricks.:mad:
But you know, it’s sad - I could hit with several, and it’d come out looking better…
The bbX only needs a new paint job to clarify its role in life.
A sign – “Parking lot Shuttle”.
Oh.
My.
God.
Fugly. There’s no other word for it.
Looks like the funeral industry has finally found a suitable replacement for the Cadillac Fleetwood hearse.
Possibly the same one that wanted to market a car called “Fitta” in Europe.
Only after spending big bucks on preparations for a major ad campaign did they learn that “fitta” is a Scandinavian slang word for, ahem, a rather private part of the female anatomy :eek:
The most remarkable thing about these monstrosities is that so many of them are NEW!
I expected to find links to historical ugly cars. It HAD been my impression that vehicles, by and large, have been getting more atractive over the years, though like many of you I was shaken by the Aztek. Still, even semitrucks and delivery vehicles have improved (I like the big bubble canopy windscreens).
But I suppose it’s an aesthetic I should get used to, one of function and space utilization rather than curve and edge. In theory I approve of it. Hijack/ I worked once in an “aesthetic artichectural landmark” building, the National of Gallery of Art East wing. There were no 90 degree wall angles in ANY offices (or at least so one of the shop people told me). Virtually every change of furniture arrangements meant architectural drawings and a squad of carpenters. So in the workplace, GIVE me plain geometric shapes.
They shouldn’t seem to ugly to me, but they DO. Waaaaah. 
It looks like it sould be on ‘Robot Wars’ preferable being ripped to bits.
Here is my humble contributions, just take a glance(I would not recommend more) at the Dax Kamala.
Looks like Toyota’s caught GM disease.
I guess when Bob Lutz made GM make the Razor… lovely little car, http://www.edmunds.com/news/autoshows/articles/48583/page026.html , it had to go somewhere.
Auugh! “What is it, paw?” “I don’t know Billy, but we’ve got to kill it before it mutates further!!”
You can tell how many Americans have never been to Europe or Japan. They’ve got, and had, cars like these for years and years over there (and there.) For somereason, they don’t seem to cotton to our ideal of big-huge-steel-on-wheels and actually like compact, efficient cars.
Odd. Ugly, too.
[sub]Though I would maybe drive a Mini, just for fun on the weekends. [/sub]
Well, there’s nothing about compact and efficient that means it has to be ugly. Put an 80 horsepower four banger in a Mazda Miata, and you’ll have a compact, efficient car that looks gorgeous.
The point is to make efficient use of space and resources, not just gas. Parking spaces in Europe and Japan are tiny, and roads absurdly narrow. The Miata is not particularly small or light by Japanese compact car standards, and it only seats 2 which is hardly efficient. For only 4 inches of extra length you can get something like the Honda Mobilio which seats 7 and gets better gas mileage. As a mode of transportation, it can do everything a Miata can do and far more.
All too true!
I mean, the Aztek is ugly in a cute sort of way, kinda like the old VW Beetle. The bbX (along with most of these other boxes) is just plain butt-ugly, IMHO. It looks to me like a compact paddy-wagon.
Oxy - rather than dropping bricks, collect a bunch of leftover half-empty paint cans of random colors. Remove lids. Drop on bbX.
It would have to be an improvement.
The S-Cargo was featured in an American automotive magazine about a decade go; it was in an article centering on two other odd Japanese vehicles. I guess this was the most memorable of the trio.
