    The two Dave posted are high on the list, but the all time champ has to be the last car on Pepi attachment...............the Pontiac Aztek!!

    Who in their right mind designed that!? Who in their right mind approved it for production!? And.....most of all......who in their right mind would ever buy such a disjointed mess!?????? That thing makes a two bagger look gorgeous!!! Not even beer goggles would help!

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Yeah, Bob, I so agree!!! I've detested that car from the first day I laid eyes on it!!! I've described it as excrement from the Chevy Avalance of the same era, which was also hideous, in my opinion. The Avalance has since been refined to not be quite so "fugly" but the Aztec??? Argh!! However, it is the perfect car for Mr. White on "Breaking Bad"......

    I may upset a few with this one! This car became the symbol for over-styling! Maybe it survived that public rejection, only because the brand was a already the symbol of over-indulgence. ...but it really does fit the "fugly" catagory in my mind.

    I'm sure Elvis liked it!!!

    Yep, that's pretty ugly!! But it's funny how after some time passes, some of these hideous cars actually start to take on some kind of attractive charm....perhaps because they represent some of the risk takers of an era or something. However, I NEVER see that sorta feeling happening with the Aztec!!!!

    Close. That's the dying gasp of DeSoto. The '58 Packard was a wart on a boars butt too as that fine marque drew it's final breath.

    Back when I was traveling quite a bit for business I walked out to my assigned space at the rental car lot to find an Aztec I turned around, walked back inside and asked for something else. The girl at the counter said, "Is there something wrong with the car, sir?" "Everything is wrong with that car!!" I got a Malibu...
