Bloomberg's 50 Ugliest Cars

There's something really weird about this list. It's probably not the obvious choices that always appear in every ugly cars list. I think it's the rest of the selection. Every car is either boringly uninspired - which does not necessarily make a car ugly - or slightly outside the box - which does not necessarily make a car ugly.

The S-Cargo is a brilliant design, intended to be a small business advertising tool. And it's name is S-Cargo and it looks like and escargo. Brilliant.

Also, there are a few forum favourites in the list. Let the good times roll...

I disagree with the Enzo (are they nuts?!), Prowler (seriously, are they?!), DeLorean, Brat,and SSR.

I whole heartedly agree with the VW Thing, Yugo, Cube, Gremlin and Pacer.

Plus the first generation Prius was waaaay uglier than the second.

I think the Tata Nano is actually a pretty good looking car. Brilliant packaging. The detailing is a little bit off, but the shape is really cool..

i started with comments on the things i disagreed with, but after 10 cars and 10 disagreements, i gave up...

they don't seem to like utes..

is it bad that i've owned 3 of them?


and the lack of examples like these makes that list lose all its credibility

also, "too curvy" "too round" and "too much a mix of curves and roundness"???
whatchoo talkin bout foo

Seriously???

There are about 10 vehicles on that list that to me are not ugly.

Prowler
Pt Cruiser
BMW 7 series
Enzo
VW Bug

Just to name 5

I think there were some really ugly ducklings but then again some cars on the list were designed by a pure utilitarian design approach.

most of them i dont really disagree too much with. the enzo IS ugly but i disagree with their comments of it being over the top. everything on it is to aid aerodynamics.

the 7 series is still fucking disgusting though.

I must also say I think El Camonos are pretty badass as well. Again, WTF were they thinking? But notice not a Ford Ranchero or Doge Rampage was on there either--and they're both WAY uglier.

The Enzo? That is actually one of the best looking cars of the past 50 years, that guy is a douche.

Also the Volvo 240 isnt ugly, just plain looking.

Ok, this list just plain sucks.

Yeah, that's a bullshit list.

I haven't read the list, but I say it's bullshit, because it's one persons opinion.

sheep

BS, that person didn't know cars

I actually think it's at least two people's opinions. The list is a schizophrenic mess of bland and daring cars.

Weird list - more like a list of cars he doesn't like. The Chevette for example isn't that ugly - its not a good car but its at least not ugly.

The Enzo is ugly even if its fast

This is ugly
