Car clangers
You know.Every car company has a phase where they must employ design staffwho loved a sherbert at lunchtime or something.Any obvious ones that make your eyes pop out?
I love Astons from 50's to current date,but what was the sore thumb that was the Zagato all about
Any paricular favourites that still make you want to poke your eyes out?

BMW 6 Series -what happened to the boot on that? I think it got to 13:30 on a Friday afternoon and the designer thought "My round of golf tees off in 30 in minutes!" at which point he just drew a line across the back and said it was finished.

Ponticrap Aztec *shudder* <goes for a lie down> How the christ that ever got released I'll never know. I think what happened was someone commented "Pontiac's are crap" and a designer misheard it as "We want a Pontiac that looks like a pile of crap"

Here's a good selection although I don't agree with some - I think the Bubble Car is cute as is the Frog Eyed wotsit The Ugliest Cars in Britain

Add the Noble M15 to that category.

Another vote for the Skoda Roomster, it looks like the front and back were designed by different people then the two bits of paper were sellotaped together.

This really fit blond poster girl was trying to sell one to my father who asked her, politely, why it was such a hideous design.
The poster girl replied that the design was inspired by a dolphin, I kid ye not.

I always thought the old Multipla looked kind of cool*. Certainly something more interesting to look at that the bland boxes that competed with it, or even the new model that replaced it.
It was crying out to be painted yellow and black and have two antennae fixed above the windscreen, along with a bee-sting aerial at the back
* would never buy one...I would even have an X3 before one of them, and that would make me suicidal

What about the Microcar? Even by mini-car standards those things are f**king ugly
