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.

1973 KV Convertible, (France)

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!

    • Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
    • If we can't agree on a baseline of reality then there is no point in talking. Its a waste of time.
