Ugliest Car Contest

looks like the Nissan Juke has decided to give some competition to the Pontiac Aztek in the Ugliest Car Contest.

Not quite as Aztek ugly as the Aztek is... IMO.

The Juke front end certainly is fugly. Makes me wonder what the designers were up to

The side and back end of the Juke have a Nissan Murano look to it

Last weekend I was driving on I 94 through the Dearborn area. We came upon a really "unique" looking car toddling along in the slow lane. It looked like a cross between that Juke and a PT crusier that a little kid had drawn. It was a very odd blue color, slightly darker than sky blue. As we got close I noticed it had a manufacturers plate on it and lots of wires looped over it and a device on one of the wheel hubs. It also had black covers over the front and rear. The front grille area looked like a kid sucking a lemon.

It was obviously a mule car and we watched it exit right at the Ford building along the expressway. Funny thing was, a couple hours later coming back the other way we passed it again! If this thing was anywhere close to a production vehicle it would easily be the ugliest thing I've ever seen on the road! It's not unusual to see "special" cars on the freeways around Detroit, but most of them I see look really different in a good way. wish I had had time to get a picture on my cell phone, but I had to drive and all that...

Yes, that front end is a good candidate.
I suspect the name is a typo.

I worked at Walker in the mid-90s and the nnule car I remember best was based on a Jeep wrangler body and it was Kermit the Frog green. It was all cut down and so was the top. It was amazing to drive and was the chopped up Jeep I always wanted to try. The body was eventually replaced with the Plymouth Prowler so there is help.

And the Spaztek remains the leader.

this is a list of the "ugliest" cars ever made. Of course I have owned many of them, and liked them.

Some I even thought were attractive, but what do I know.

Humm, only two cars I agree with on any of those lists are the Aztek and the Fiat Multipla.

Most all the others wouldn't even be on my ugly car list.

taxpyer · January 21, 2011, 05:23:43 AM

I consider cars to be art.

It's all in the eye of the beholder.

Now women on the other hand............. I knew one once that was so ugly she'd give a dog heart burn.

By the way how did Willys not get on your list?

Mikej · January 21, 2011, 08:53:18 AM

Seems like alot of AMC's made the list. I wonder why. I'm hurt though about the Corvair. I didn't know.
