Top 10 Ugliest Cars of All Time
All car manufacturers spend millions and maybe billions for creating, developing, testing and producing new cars, but there was many decisions that weren’t that great regarding car’s look. So, I thought that is better to make a top with 10 of the most ugliest cars of all time, in my opinion.
So, here I go.
No.1 1961 - 1978 Citroen Ami
Sister to the smaller 2CV, the Ami didn’t inherit the cute looks of its sibling. Instead it had a front end that looked like it had been biffed squarely on the nose.

No.2 1970 - 1971 Marcos Mantis
The side profile was more up and down than a ride at Alton Towers. The Mantis, with its drooping snout, was head-turning for all the wrong reasons.

No.3 1972 Volvo VESC concept
Volvo was determined people wouldn’t be seen dead in its cars. Consequently, it produced this hideous VESC concept, featuring safety bumpers, airbags and a roll cage.

No.4 1975 - 1980 AMC Pacer
It may have gained cult status from appearing in Wayne’s World, but the Pacer was nevertheless pig ugly and far too thirsty for its economy car brief.

No.5 1978 - 1981 Midas Coupé
The Midas touch was definitely lacking when the shape was penned, but the car was loved by Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren F1 supercar.

No.6 1979 - 1986 Cadillac Seville
Bristle-backed rear styling may have suited a 1950s Daimler, but it looked awkward on the box-like Seville. To make matters worse, its 5.7 litre engine only had 105 bhp.
Cadillac Seville
No.7 1980 - 1986 Renault Fuego
Large overhangs and a droopy rear end meant the Fuego was no looker. However, it still managed to claim the title of the best selling coupé in Europe, 1980 - 1982.

No.8 Nissan Sunny ZX Coupé
Designed with a ruler and plastered with tacky spoilers, why would anyone have wanted the ZX? For the same money you could have had a gorgeous Peugeot 205 GTi.

No.9 1998 - 2000 Fiat Multipla
Thanks to its stalk-like mirrors, mammoth glasshouse and the crazy way its bonnet met the windscreen, the Multipla looked like it had been designed by a four-year old.

No.10 2006 Venturi Eclectic
Looking like a cross between Johnny 5 from the Short Circuit film and a golf cart, the Eclectic was an electric car that charged itself using roof-mounted solar panels and a wind turbine.

The only one I think is ugly is the Fiat Multipla, all the others I think are pretty cool, unique for sure, but pretty cool.

[...] for the scoop. Scooters are great to ride to work and are definitely better than driving an ugly car [...]

See Betty! unlike those other people you can appreciate DIFFERENT some call it ugly , I call it imagination! its like everything in life ,if you dont take the chance you will never know! I own one of those”ugly”cars and i love its “quirkyness”I think peope buy sometimes to express their need for comformity and if something is different [no matter how good it is] they feel a need to criticise!

You are wrong, ´cause the nissan sunny (a.k.a. Hikari, in mexico) is a good car, it has good sport design. The others cars are ugly but nissan sunny is not.
