Fiat Multipla
do i rly have do describe this? =D well i had a problem which multipla to pick (a lot of "tuning" versions were contenders)

When I looked at that picture my first thought was maybe I was too harsh on the multipla, but then I realised this ones' been modified to look like a cartoon steam engine and that's why it didn't look as bad as it normally does.

This thread should be called "what cars are almost as bad as the multipla?", because it's easily the worst car ever.

Dishonorable mentions, any modern car that tries to be "retro" or borrows too much on models decades ago from cars of an era when manufacturers were inspired by aviation and spaceflight - a sign that brands are clinging onto the past and are short on ideas

Ferrari "bread van"

Like the Series 1 Land Rover and like most race Ferraris, I doubt the designers cared about how pretty it looked, they proved it by it being faster than the GTOs

That behind hurts my eyes

What happens when your design team want to relive their childhood of watching a sci-fi mass murder and nuclear warfare fest called Gundam - it's now a trend for Japanese design teams to do that too (Lancer Evo and R35 GT-R)

And (weird coincidence, considering the link Renault-Nissan) the Juke:

A result of a cut-n-shut between a Porsche 935 and a Cayenne

Mitsubishi Mirage, a sign a brand had hit their lowest point starting off with killing off the Lancer Evo and other cars that made them great

Nobody mentioned the Lexus SC430, the car that signaled the death of the 29-year old Toyota Soarer/Lexus SC lineage. Not even Daigo Saito's FD mod job could save it...nor the Ford Mustang II or as expected, the Edsel

I agree with many mentions... but i just have to add another car: Nissan S-Cargo.
It is not complexly hideous, but very simple hideous.

 

[Fabrice Bourguignon]

SUBARU ALCYONE or VORTEX in Europe

Squarish design is bad. Especially the back was very ugly and it was disappointing despite the high performance. This design was an obstacle for sales in the same era.

Honestly, I find this car rather beautiful.

 

[Fabrice Bourguignon]

Matra Simca Rancho. The SUV with 30 years in advance (1977). It was daring for the time.
We like it or we do not like it.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Another Micra, but this one's specifically the pink convertible

Oyh! It's pink and thus it is not ugly! Boo!

 

[Stanislav Minakov]

Bodyshape is so weird and nonproportional.
Opel Signum

 

[JaimeDK]

No, seriously, no one thinks that is ugly?
Porsche Cayenne first gen.
Same as this:

Touareg
For a cars enthusiast non SUV should make any sense!, or it is an all terrain or a road car, mixing worlds then you get this abominations...

 

[Marc Collins]

Subaru BRAT

Reliant Regal (someone thought it was a good idea to try to spruce-up a Robin!!!)

Marcos Mantis

I could keep going, but I'll leave it at those for now

It goes beyond ugly into offensive.

[Jason M Fuller]

so I did a search for "chinese knockoff cars". While the cars weren't that ugly, I couldn't stop laughing at the Rolls Royce Spirit of Ecstasy knock off.

It looks like it's made from tin foil.

Everything that is created by Leepu

 

[jmfjcas]

I have mixed feelings about Fiat Multipla.This car is weird, but it's not the most ugly car i've seen
