Your Comments I Say
Austin Maestro Steve Bowers 'Successor' (of the Maxi) is probably the wrong word to describe this monster Apparently it was based on a Maxi that took a wrong turning into a narrow alley and put ugly dents down both sides... Together with the Montego, the mould should definitely have been broken (before production started) Aparrently there's some garage out in Herefordshire that's still putting them together for folks to buy (they were rejected from some eastern European country)
BMW Isetta Drew Do you scuzzy-toothed brits need a reason? It looked like a jellybean, had but one door,and in an accident, the first thing to shatter was your legs!! Isetta bubble car is now in part 4.
the new Black Cab Katherine it looks like a pig And i agree with the other bloke..lay off Citroens. Except the BX. Horrible 80s cod-futuristic-ness There are plenty more Citroens eligible for these pages...
Chrysler Neon Nick Lockyer Just look at one...! I wouldn't dare call an American car ugly...
Citroen Berlingo Nick Lockyer It's a citroen... Oh yes, too high, too narrow, too ugly, too slow... now I'm not expecting it to be an Astramax but it's a car sized van so surely it should have some visual credibility and perform like a porsche. Fair enough
Jaguar XJS Jim Phillips The model with the big square headlamps, such a disappointment after the E type. Not in the same league as the Avenger Tiger though, you've gotta find a picture of one of those I wish I could find one
Most Chrysler Cars Robert Berge I am from America and I think Chrysler has caused a lot of the negative feelings towards American cars. Most of their new cars, New Yorker, 300M, Sebring, all look like lumbering cockroaches with huge gaping grills and gargatuan headlights. Be grateful none of them have made it across the pond I once owned a car made by the Chrysler Corp myself...
VW Golf Dan Good site, you just need to brush up on your car knowledge. I mean, even having the word 'Lamborghini Miura' anywhere near this page is totally sacrilegious. Other than that, add the VW Golf (Mk 2-4) and I'll be happy The Lambo was nominated by somebody else - not me. I don't think Golfs are ugly - just a bit dull.
none DP Gumby (made up name) Pah - I spit on your choices :-) As A BX owning DS fan I cannot agree with your choices. You obviously have NO knowledge of the massive technological advances that the DS gave the world. The DS had a crossflow engine some 30 years before Ford. It had disc brakes. Thanks to the DS we have radial tyres. I do agree about the Austin Aggro and and 2CV though Like many people you've missed the point - I *don't care* about the car's technology - just its looks!
Lamborghini LM002 Hattmatt What did Lamborghini think they were doing, I think they should stick to sports cars and tractors, because this was obviously designed in a drunken fit, as it is a cross between the two of them. Taking the sports car engine and plonking it in a tractor/land rover body was never going to work. Whatever you say...
Samara Hatchback Wilf Veevers Why did they put that little plastic bit sticking out of the front ? Because they were stupid?
Renault 12 Russ Smith 'Let's make it look like an old training shoe' concept from a committee of stylists who never met but were subsequently headhunted by Citroen They used stylists??
ford ka Feliciano Escamilla you bunch of jerk offs these cars are bad ass you people in brtain are just stupid, and don't know about nice cars, and ugly cars . my name is feliciano escamilla i live in yakima wash. my phone # is (509)575-3716 i live off of 25 ave call me about your comments thank ... Need I say anything here?
Fiat Strada Duncan Hobbs What an abismal looking car! Not only is it totally ugly from every angle but it is also made of poo, cheap and nasty poo at that! What was the advertising slogan they used for its launch 'Designed by computer, buit by robots driven by you' or should that be driven by a moron?! Definately the abismal epitmy of motoring and certainly in my view the ugliest car to ever set its wheels on a british road and worthy of inclusion - a shame that they've all rusted away so I can't get a photo of one.
Renault Megane S.Stevenson What is this car, a squidgy bulb on wheels or something!. The coupe and convertible are mega ugly, especially with rear lights that look like eyes about to pop out at you.The hatchback looks sooo boring that you can blink and see nothing while looking at it. 'nuff said.
Morris Minor S.Stevenson Who the heck did Morris think they were, keeping that hideous old grannymobile in production for 23 years. It was an old heap, even when new. And yet, it competed for sales against the Ford Escort. What was issigonis thinking when designing the minor- an ugly aunt! I guess you didn't like it then.
Austin 1100 S.Stevenson UUgh, that so called mk3 version was an eyesore, especially when old Lord (how dare they give that title to him!!!) Stokes implemented sickening colours like limeflower green and "S**t" brown. Fortunately I'm no relation to his Lordship.
Proton Persona Gavin Fraser plasticky interior,useless colours ( my dads one is brown), slower than slow engines I hope you don't have to ride in it too often
Subaru SVX DREW Whats with that all-glass roof?! I don't know.
Lada Riva S.Stevenson (again) Bloody russians. How dare they build a total rustbucket nowdays that looks and acts as a desired function- a box. This car is the ultimate heap. Calm down Mr Stevenson
Datsun 120Y and 160J The Growler Sorry, sorry to all of you. I respect your sincere efforts, most of which are pretty close, but nothing, sorry NOTHING, could surpass these horrific conveyances of the 1970's. They are clearly the result of the work of Japanese sararymen who would do anything just anything not to have to go home to the wife A likely contender for the next page.
Sinclair C5 Si Scraper I have no idea if this is a car or not, but it was certainly useful as a motorised wheelbarrow. You should get one Phil You can sell me yours when you're finished with it in Vancouver.
NSU Prinz John Made from old bathtubs.A Martian mini.Clearly, designed by Jules Verne's three year old son. Jules, himself,must have designed it's siblings, the NSU 1000 and the even uglier NSU 1200.Forget the paper bag on your head, believe me, you'd need to put one on any one of these horrors before accepting a ride. Confession, my dad had one.Bloody embarrassing.He eventually sold it and came home with a new car - a powder blue Citroen Ami !!! Gag, gag... Time to leave home. An NSU appears in Part 4
Citroen Ami John This must be the most ugly automobile to have ever been driven in Britain.It is unlikely any photographs were ever taken of this hideous beast.It must have been designed with the intention of making the rest of the horrible Citroen range at that time look less disgusting.Yes, my dad had one! Poor chap.
most american cars martin I agree American cars are very ugly. Shawnie thinks British are imperfect. Ive seen Jerry Springer and it is evident to me that Americans are far from being the master race. The average American could feed Ethiopia for a year on their excess fat Im surprised Americans can even fit in cars Hey - some of my best friends are Americans.
Lotus Elite mike there are not enough words to describe this monstrosity. there probably are.
Nissan Bluebird Tim Wright The Nissan Bluebird is more boring than ugly, but I love the Citron 2CV and the Austin Maxi! ...and you're quite entitled to.
Citroen Visa Liam Sebag-Montefior I am ashamed to say that I drove 2(!!!) 652cc versions- they are exceptionally fast as you may well imagine. One was blue with silver spots and a brown bonnet- this actually improved the appearance of the car. HIDEOUS. At least my friends are starting to talk to me again 2 years after the car was crushed If you thought they were hideous, then why did you buy the second one?
Toyota Land Cruiser Halbarad URGH! How can ANYONE like this hideous overblown, completely tasteless 4x4?! It's foul and putrid and disgusting, and totally grotesque! Everytime I see one I almost vomit! Bleh! HORRIBLE! Disgusting!  
Nissans Cargo Snail john very funny site,love your sense of humour .thank god we are far enough away from you lunatics who accepted these cars in the first place that we never got them.what do these cars want? ,who can the people turn to who bought them,how would you feel if you knew somebody with one? if you slept with someone who owned one and you woke up with them lying on your arm, you would rather chew your arm off than wake them up-are you with me? Errr.. I think you've drunk too much Fosters.
Smart Juergen The Mercedes-designed smart is surely the worst car designers came up with in the last 2 years. No wonder it's selling so bad that production will be cancelled soon. It's not only a plastic bag with the charme of an Bosch household application but even has a speed limiter which doesn't enable it to drive faster than 130 km/h! If I get a photo of one it'll be in the next update.
Mercedes "A" class dave roberts horrible-looks like a badly designed bread bin with handling to match not to mention an uncanny ability to flip over-perhaps they should put castors on the roof?or mabye just not bothered A contender.
Any Volvo Rachel I have still yet to see any Volvo with any redeeming features. Ugly square cars driven by ugly square people, usually with several early 70's cushions and blankets blocking the rear window (or hiding the fact that there are over a dozen passengers in the car). Let's face it, anyone who buys a car for the fact that the headlights stay on automatically day or night is an arsehole. I agree
Austin 3-litre Carl Maslen The ugliest british car of all time. So ugly they couldn't sell any and it was axed after 3 years. Almost forgotten about, like a larger landcrab with four head lights. Most were killed on the banger track. Can't say I know it.
UK? Nominated! Jim First impression when visiting UK: Cute, zippy cars...need more like these in US. In country a bit: Hmm...acutally quite slow; questionable aesthetics; legroom AND headroom in one car must be a mutually exclusive idea. Final prognosis upon return home: US cars have "sameness", granted, but also have room for folks over 5'5", and real by-God V8 power. To each their own, my friend! I'm afraid Jim that we don't have room on our narrow roads for US - sized cars, plus our fuel is too expensive to run V8 power.
Fiesta Mk1 Keith Oliver To the bumcheddar who reckons the Renault 11 is the ugliest car, I have three of them and if I see you when driving one of them, I'll run you over with it. I'm afraid that I think that the Renault 11 is uglier than the Fiesta. What's a bumcheddar?
1980's Saab 900 P.J. McCombs This one seems to combine the worst elements of swoopy curves AND blocky angles in one hideous package. Or maybe its just my "American sensibilities"... yes, I own a chromed V8 luxobarge - a '73 Cadillac - and I think it's beeeautiful So when are you having your frontal lobotomy?
