Now with a poll: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=38&threadid=1052294

So, which auto manufacturer do you think sucks based on looks alone? IMO, Pontiac held the crown for awhile, but is slowly moving away from the "add more plastic cladding and it'll look GREAT" phase, especially if the Solstice goes into production. The Aztek is still the road's biggest eyesore, though.

Now, I'd say Mitsubishi is definitely in the lead with the new endeavor and outlander and it's new split grille design on all the new vehicles.

I'm not going to create a poll because there are just too many automakers for me to list, and I'm lazy.

I say Volkswagen. I just don't like anything they make. Decent engines....crappy looks.

 

[MistaTastyCakes]

Pontiac, even though that Solstance is pretty sharp. Firebird, Trans Am, Sunfire, AZTEC.. *shudder*

VW uglier than Buick or Pontiac?

Do you want to type out all the auto manufacturers in a poll? Then make your own thread and I'll edit this one to be blank.

 

[m2kewl]

whoever made the Aztec...oh the horror!

 

[AU Tiger]

I will just say GM as a whole as I can't decide whether Pontiac, Buick, or Saturn have the ugliest lineup of the three.

 

[UNCjigga]

Pontiac, followed closely by Saturn and Daewoo, mebbe Suzuki too (on the car side...)

 

[Siddhartha]

I going to vote for BMW. I really do not like the looks of their 7 series sedans and they are modelling the rest of the line on it.

 

[loup garou]

Does Daewoo even sell cars in the US anymore? Oh yeah, forgot about how ugly the Suzuki Aerio is.

I'm sticking with Mitsubishi though...

I don't think they're the ugliest...but I agree BMW's designs are slowly heading down the crapper.

 

[Rallispec]

how can you say mitsubishibi???

between the Mirage, Galant, and Lancer Evo-- they have a pretty solid lineup. I'm not a huge fan of the eclipse-- but its far from ugly.

the only really ugly thing they have that i can think of is the Montero.

 

[UltraQuiet]

Volvo is Swedish for "big, ugly car".

Pontiac, easily. All of that idiotic boy-racer plastic cladding and goofy nose jobs.

But Porsche's new Cayenne...oof. I've seen two of them lately. UGH-LEE

i agree with this some.. i do think BMW's are looking less and less good as time goes by--- however i saw a new Z4 out on the road for the first time yesterday, and i will say that it is a really slick looking car. I like it a lot.

 

[KC5AV]

SAAB. Hands down.

There are many reasons:

2004 Galant
2004 Diamante
2004 Endeavor
2003 Outlander
2004 Lancer

UUUUGGGGLY! And the Eclipse is ugly too! I don't mind the Montero or Montero Sport...nothing great, but not as ugly as the rest of the lineup.

UUUUGGGGLY!

is that actually what the production 2004 galant looks like??!!! ack. okay, that is kinda ugly. I still think the lancer is a good looking car though.

as for the rest though, i cant really think of a single SUV made by any manufacturer that looks good. SUV's are ugly by thier nature.

 

[Vortex22]

2004 Galant

The first thing I thought of when I saw that was PONTIAC.
