I know. You are right. I remember seeing a picture of the bugeye for the first time and just thought it was a joke. Couldn't believe when my dealer sent through a brochure. Don't think Subaru ever recovered really. They had the classic to build and capitalise on and basically f**ked it up.

I almost broke into tears when I first seen it, it was actually that bad.

There is that truly hideous Japanese Subaru thing looks like a Victorian wardrobe crossed with a wagon. Can't remember the name of it?

Well I quite liked the quirky styling of our bugeye

Quite an achievement for a small manufacturer like Subaru to have 2 cars in the top 10 I agree with most of the others, but the X6 is not ugly, I wouldn't say no.....

X6 is OK....yes its Poncy, but so is a RR sport.

I forgot how bad a Scorpio was/is. Now they've dated I think they look even worse!

I thought the Cherokee looked alright, ok I still wouldn't buy one, but thats only because it American made and a SUV...and I hate both.

I had just bought one of the last of the UK Turbo 2000s new and the salesman had been trying to persuade me to wait for the new model.... I'd seen a pic and wasn't keen so I bought the Turbo 2000. When I took it for its 1000 mile service the salesman spoke to me and said very condescendingly 'come and see what you could have had' ..... he then showed me a green bugeye WRX wagon..... I was still laughing at him as I drove away. What a hideous car!

However in 2007 Subaru delivered us the marque killing hatch and after seeing that complete and utter piece of **** the bugeye has always looked pretty good!

It's the Subaru story - fantastic engineering, they just forget to make it look nice!

I don't think the X6 is particularly ugly either, quite like it in fact, looks like some kind of thing that Batman would drive. They are all driven by c*nts though

Thats what I was thinking too, look at the height of it against the narrowness of the tyres, just dosen't look stable at all..
