| NOT the Zaporozhets |
Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder; but the Imp-shaped Zaporozhets was not a bad-looking car, I think, by any means. It was in fact like a little early-model Chevrolet Corvair, which so many car companies copied. I had a ride in a Zaporozhets in Kiev ... over rough roads the ride was superlative. It moved along reasonably smartly; didn't rattle ... I really liked the thing. Much better looking, for my money, than much of the tarted-up 'hot' hatch crap the boy racers love so much in the UK.
For real rear-engined thrills, however, the Czech Tatra air-cooled V8, quad-camshaft, turbocharged and fuel injected cars are something very special, if you can afford the fuel consumption. Sublime. But I would have a Zaporozhets at the drop of a hat.
I bet 99% of those criticizing them have never seen one, let alone ridden in one.
Thanks,
David |

What probably happened was that the science lab above Chrysler's design room accidentally spilled some acid, and it leaked through the ceiling, onto the sheet of paper. |

| Toyota Urban Cruiser |
When I saw the Scion Hako in your illustrious pages, I decided that I couldn't better that one for being ugly. Indeed it must be the queen of the ugly catwalk.
Then I saw the Urban Cruiser. Tinted windows are a standard to save on paper bags. If you want to cruise in this one, you really need to be in the wilderness. |

| Dihatsu Materia |
On the website, they say "its striking looks". Strikingly ugly is this Material. Not particulary economical either: 39 mpg for a tiny 1.5 litre, and not exactly a sprinter either. It does seem to have the aerodynamics of a box.
As for the front, it reminds me of a lavatory with a rather superior soft-rise lid. The Japanese do take their lavatories very seriously.

The streets of Leeds are a wonderful catwalk for the ugly 4 x 4. Two minutes before I saw my previous offering, I saw this contraption arrogantly parked on a double yellow line, blocking one lane of the inner ring road.
It calls itself a sports activity coupe. It will never negotiate anything more challenging than the speed bumps at Tesco or Sainsbury. To mention "sports" is like me saying I am a champion fell-runner.
A couple of heavy bags will fill the boot. What is the point of this motor-bling other than to say, "I am filthy rich. I can afford a personalised number plate. I love to be centre of attention. I don't give a monkey's for the environment."?
Wolf in sheep's clothing. More like mutton dressed as lamb. |

Another American demonstration of how to make the truly ugly yet more extreme. Where do they get them from? |

Just when I didn't think that 4 x 4s could possiblt get uglier, they suddenly did. Another star on the catwalk of motor-bling |

A comment and then some suggestions:
You need to get a different picture of the Aztec. Although the version you have featured is hideous, it is a beauty compared to the earlier version that had horrible plastic crap all over it. When I first saw one of those, my first though was of the Jeff Goldblum "The Fly"... I thought someone had put a regular SUV (if there is such a thing!) and a 2 man tent in one pod and received the Aztec in the other. I also noticed that the Aztec looks something like a rhinoceros, with the from turn signals being the rhino's horn.
Nominations:
Honda Element with the horrible plastic crap similar to the original Aztec design.
Classics 1970's uglies:
AMC Pacer that looked somethinng like a goldfish bowl perched on a roller skate.
AMC Gremlin that looked simply like a nightmare on a roller skate.
Ford's 1970s Mustang II design... yechhh!!!
And, finally, whatever the hell van it is that looks like a soda crackers box on a roller skate. I always am forced to turn aware in revulsion and fear of regurgitation, before I can get close enough to read the nameplate on those things.
Notice how most of my descriptions are of one thing being attached to another? Wouldn't you think manufacturers could figure out that a car's design needs to make one continuous and flowing impression?! |
