Fugliest vehicle on the road:
To hell with anyone this offends - this atrocity of automotive design should never have been conceived, let alone produced and marketed:



Fuel prices are outrageous, and the SUV horror show seems to FINALLY be beginning to wane, so Detroit's gonna give us... the Humvee of station wagons? WTF is the market for this thing? I have not been so repulsed by a car's design since those godawful half-station-wagon/half-truck things in the early 80s.

Yes - I do believe I may be personally offended by the sheer awfulness of this vehicle.

4. It really does look like a station wagon...
That's had a car FALL ON TOP OF IT from the rear!:eyes:

I've driven behind (and parked beside) two of those things. They look like either a wagon for low riders, little people, or both. The Magnum may be a nice car, but there's no way I could get in one to see for myself, so low is its roof. Pretty THOOPID on Dodge/Daimler-Chrysler's part, if you ask me!x(

B-)

10. Fun car to ride in though.
Lots of personality. Parse that as you will. Citroën knows how to build a deluxe ride, especially the ID19 and DS21. Really smooth.

Car and Driver, in its January "Ten Worst" issue, often gives the award to the Citroën Ami. Not the new Ami, but a model from the sixties. (Googled....) Ah, here we go, the Ami 6. Can't think of any car with rectangular headlights that looks good.

14. Citroens ROCK!!!
When I lived in England, my boss drove a green one. And the only other person that owned a car at my place of employment drove a light blue one.

I love those little cars!!!

9. Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Not a Truck, not an SUV, just a POS


Dumbest idea I ever saw. You can't put anything in that bed... and it makes the thing look unbalanced and unstable.

11. those godawful half-station-wagon/half-truck things in the early 80s.
Rancheros and El Caminos? They go back to the fifties and sixties. Perhaps you mean the Subaru Brat.
