What is the ugliest car ever made?


Recommended Posts

In their attempts to bring affordable motoring to the masses, some of the "bubble cars" compromised heavily on style.

Perhaps the most stylish of this ugly genre was the BMW Isetta.

Thanks for saving me a google images search :D

Pontiac Aztec gets my vote.

Runner-up: PT Cruiser. I do not associate with people who buy this vehicle. Literally.

Technically interesting but aesthetically less so, obviously a product of an engineer.

KV built its own motors which drove the rear wheels by means of rubber rollers pressing on the tires!

This is an example of an early KV (as opposed to a KVS), featuring small indicator lights and a full convertible top.

I'm wondering whether Noddy would suddenly appear out of the car :)

Ugh, don't say that. My lil' sister used to watch that all the time. It annoyed the hell both me and my mom.

That KV is.....a metal death box? It should've been discontinued way before 2000. That's 2k people that have to suffer all because of an engineer's stupidity.

Holy crap! They built it for 14 years!

I think that has to win the ugly car competition. It makes the VW Thing look good.

i think the ugliest car ever is a tie between the HHR and the PT Cruiser. :x

hey i know! i'm a middle aged woman looking to reclaim my youth! i'll put orange flame decals on my purple PT Cruiser! or better yet, i'll buy one with wood paneling!

Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics.
