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 confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
    • It is clear from this aricle that "Time Is On My Side" no matter which direction it is flowing., https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?i...m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsEj8lUx0gwY
