Hummer H2
Introduced: 2002
Design: Wayne Cherry
The archetypal American gas-guzzler was a hulking monstrosity. For better or worse, the Hummer didn't stray far from its military origins, with an imposing front grille, utilitarian doors, and box-shaped windows. If pride comes before a fall, then the H2 is fitting for Detroit.

Chevrolet SSR
Introduced: 2003
This truck has curves—way too many of them. Its round cabin, massive fenders, and teeny round headlights are better suited for cartoon vehicles. With such a long sloping hood, why the crowded cluster of logos, headlights, and the grille in the front?

Honda Element
Introduced: 2003
Someone at Honda (HMC) must have liked the abhorrent Aztek. The Element is just another giant box on wheels adorned with plastic bumpers. The roof's height is constant, so when it reaches the lopped-off back end, it appears as if someone backed the vehicle into a wall.

Subaru Baja
Introduced: 2003
Design: Peter Tenn
Designer Tenn said the Baja was inspired by rally-race trucks, but it looks a lot more like an El Camino or Brat. Take that car/truck hybrid style, add an all-encompassing plastic bumper, and you have this eyesore.

SsangYong Rodius
Introduced: 2004
Design: Ken Greenley
The Rodius might be like any other minivan, that is, until you see the back end. The roof extends over peculiarly placed bent glass windows, and the brake lights are far too large. Look below, and what's that? Plastic hub caps.

Škoda Roomster
Introduced: 2006
This Czech vehicle aims to provide a sizable customizable cargo space, which is fine, but its design is dizzying thanks to mismatched front and rear doors, windows planted at different heights, and too-tall tail lights.

Jeep Compass
Introduced: 2007
Jeep is an automotive classic. So why the Compass? The signature round headlights look out of place, while the fake grill and mismatched panels are more evidence that the Compass' designers lacked a unified vision.

Tata Nano
Introduced: 2008
Design: Girish Wagh, Justin Norek, Pierre Castinel
Admittedly, appearance wasn't a design priority for the Nano, which is intended for Indians too poor to buy a regular car. But that doesn't excuse its egg-like stylings. Even the snub hood and tiny tires can't draw the eye from the car's domed top.

Toyota Scion IQ
Introduced: 2010
Design: Toyota ED2
This is what happens when car companies try to be hip. The tiny cabin makes the wheels look gigantic, and the exaggerated front and rear bumpers seem pointless and tacky. Besides, its toy-like body doesn't exactly convey safety.
