Top 3 ugliest production car thread.
Title says it all. List your top three ugliest production cars. Must be stock otherwise I have a feeling it'd be a thread full of rice-mobiles with their 3 foot long wings and all that jazz.
Here it goes...
VW Thing. (Although to be fair, they make some SEXY sand toys)
Hyundai Tiburon. (1996–2001) The waves everywhere is just ridiculous. The 2002's aren't too shabby though... I'd drive one.
Saleen. These things look like a 6 year old got ahold of a butter knife on their clay model and start cutting gills everywhere. I don't care if they're functional. There are more capable cars without them. Hideously overdone.

I guess when it comes to anything .. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

As for others more capable and hideously overdone. Well as far as I know, the S7 is the only production car that can create enough down force to equal the weight of the car. So at 160 MPH the car could actually drive on an inverted plane. This was accomplished by using all of those vents and scoops.

To be honest, I like the look of that Saleen

Buzz, you're dead to me only because of the S7 comment.:D
OvRiDe, you took the words right out of my mouth. The S7 is the most incredible production car ever. I don't care if another car that costs 4 times as much can go 5 mph faster with 2-4 more cylinders...
How about the Dodge Rampage instead?
Here's the '83 model that was produced:
And here's the '06 concept they were thinking of bringing back:

SHUT YOUR MOUTH! DO NOT BADMOUTH THE RAMPAGE!!!! *&^%^%!$@#^%$@!#!@#

Sorry.. I have a lot of love for those things. Yes, they were technically hemaphrodites, but they were also small, light, and cheap. With the same base engine as a Daytona, you could drop in a turbocharged mill, and push 300hp at the wheels pretty easy.. and run 11 second quarters all day with wheelspin all the way down the track.

Fiat Multipla.....

Gumpert also says their Apollo Sport can do that, and I seem to remember some other cat that was supposed to be able to do that... Problem is, nobody's ever tested any of them, so it's all just blowing hot air. :P
Gumpert Apollo Sport:
As for the ugliest, I think the Mercedes Bionic Fish concept is a pretty good candidate.

nissan cube... ugly as sin.....
Re: Top 3 ugliest production car thread.
Hmm, you may have a point there...idk which bugs me about it more, the asymmetry or the ...cube..ness..
Re: Top 3 ugliest production car thread.
I think it's the utter LACK of any real design whatsoever....
