The ugliest cars ever made​

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but no matter how you look at them, these are some mighty ugly automobiles. And it’s not just older model cars that are hard on the eyes—there are several modern vehicles that made our list of the ugliest cars ever made.

AMC Gremlin​

With a name like Gremlin, you’d expect this car to have an ugly appearance, and you wouldn’t be wrong. It has a strange-looking back end and no visible upgrades to speak of. Legend has it that AMC’s design chief at the time made his first sketch of the car on the back of an airline motion sickness bag.

Chrysler PT Cruiser​

Originally introduced as a five-door, front-wheel-drive hatchback, the Chrysler PT Cruiser has a shape that took many drivers by surprise when it was first released, with styling reminiscent of a hearse.

Nissan Juke​

Designed to appeal to a younger, more adventurous audience, the Nissan Juke is a compact crossover with a strange, boxy shape. Even the new generation of this car is still hard on the eyes, though slightly less so than the original.

Subaru BRAT​

Despite a quirky design, the Subaru BRAT had a pretty good 16-year production run. The term BRAT stands for bi-drive recreational all-terrain transporter, a reference to the button that turns its all-wheel drive on and off.

this one quite stylish leh..........like sedan and pick-up

AMC Pacer​

The AMC Pacer was a popular compact in the United States between 1975 and 1980, but there’s no denying its strange design. The back end seems to just drop off behind the passenger seat, ending super low to the ground. The futuristic-looking bubble dome-like windows may have been too ahead of their time for many drivers.

Corbin Sparrow​

To say the Corbin Sparrow looks like a giant jelly bean on wheels wouldn’t be overkill, especially considering the brightly coloured hues you often find them in. This electric, plastic vehicle was designed for city commuters, and only featured three wheels.

Pontiac Aztek​

The mid-size crossover Pontiac Aztek was met with mixed reviews when it was first released. It was certainly new and bold, but looked like someone tried to put together a minivan and a car in some sort of Frankenstein surgery.

 

[jw5]

Alfa Romeo SZ​

When you think of Italian cars, you think of beautiful design, but unfortunately that’s not the case with the Alfa Romeo SZ. It featured odd proportions and flat planes that made it look more like a toy than a real car. It was not so affectionately nicknamed “Il Mostro” or “The Monster” in Italian.

Oldsmobile Aurora​

Oldsmobile was never known for developing stylish-looking cars, but the Aurora took this distinction one step further with its duckbill-shaped front end and squinty-looking headlights.

 

[jw5]

Mini Cooper Coupe​

A two-seater sports car, the Mini Cooper Coupe took everything about the super cool Mini, and took it down several notches—literally. The backward baseball hat-styled roof took away the already limited headspace of the car, which basically eliminated any rear view for the driver.

 

[jw5]

Nissan Cube​

The company called it “squarely unconventional” but we call it “squarely ugly.” The box-on-wheels Nissan Cube was first introduced to the North American markets in 2009, but was in production in its native Japan since 1998.

Lada Largus​

Russian manufacturer Lada is known over the world for their ugly cars—in fact, every model in their lineup could be on this list, but the Largus has to be the most hideous. From the elongated front end to the boxy rear, and the out-of-place door panel trim, this car is truly ugly.

 

[jw5]

Aston Martin Lagonda​

Modern-day Aston Martins are a car lover’s dream, but this classic from the ‘70s is the stuff of nightmares with its pointed front and rear ends. It’s a wonder it stayed in production for nearly 20 years!

 

[jw5]

Ford Pinto​

The first subcompact vehicle produced by Ford in North America, the Ford Pinto wasn’t just unsightly to look at, it was also a death machine. There is a design flaw in the car that allows the fuel tanks to catch fire, which they frequently did following impact.

 

[jw5]

Jeep Gladiator​

There’s a certain image that pops into people’s minds when they think of a Jeep. Sporty, hard edges, no rear end. But the Gladiator will bend your mind with its pickup truck-esque rear end that looks so out of place you won’t be able to reconcile what you see with what you think you should be seeing.

Crosley CC​

The miniature cars produced by Crosley during the rationing of World War II were popular for good reason, and the CC was the first new model released during peacetime. It featured a squished front end, no running boards, and undersized wheels, making it look like a toy or clown car.
