Here's a few models that make me barf (IMHO of course!)

3. Ford Excursion (might as well take an M1-A1 Abrams out on the highway! :))

2. Toyota Echo

1. Pontiac Aztec (what ARE they thinking????)

Any others?

Pontiac Aztec.

I love the pt Cruiser. My parents have one, and it's great to drive.

Aztec for sure. It looks like what happens when an engineer has a really smelly brain fart. The Excursion doesn't look bad, per se, but I think they need to require people to get a boaters license to drive one of those things. I laugh every time I see someone trying to maneuver one of those things around a crowded parking lot.

That Aztech is god-awful... Whoever designed such a monstrosity should be shot... or at least relegated to a job that does not involve automobile design.

I've gotta agree with the Pontiac Aztech also.. When I first saw that they were giving that away on that show Survivor, I thought "who would want it?" :)

The Azz-Tek bites the big one. And the PT Cruiser owns whoever says it sucks! :p

Remember those damn Aztec ads when it first came out? (I wonder if Richard Hatch sold that thing)

They were trying to promote it as a hip young person's car. Gimme a break!

I don't know anyone who would want that POS.

Maybe those rental car agencies got a good deal on them.

Motor Trend called the Aztec "Butt Ugly" and the name has stuck for some time now.

Yeah...what's up with those tail lights on the Impala...absolutely horrid! Even though I really like the new Maxima, I think the tail light design on those are a bit botched too.

i've been in an M1, wouldn't mind driving that thing around!!! ;) 80km/h road speed, and the ability to crush anyone who cuts you off ;) not to mention those sweet .50 cal and 7.62mm's they have ;)

Another vote for PT Cruiser, neck and neck with the Aztec. Mercedes 320 SUV also is hideous.

Aztec wins saw it on the lot and thought it looked like an ugly honda civic that had a growth spurt.

The PT Cruiser appears to be a vehicle that gets an extreme reaction out of someone....they either LOVE or HATE it...none of that &quot;well it looks OK&quot;. I personally like the retro styling on it myself...Chrysler just needs to get rid of that ugly rubber mustache looking front bumper and add more POWER!

The Aztek is THE worst looking car/van/wagon/truck/thing out there, VW &quot;Thing&quot; included. Supposedly pretty poorly engineered to boot(y). Excursions don't bug me except that they're too often driven below the speed limit in the city, like many full-size SUVs. The Echo is pretty bad looking, but it's a Toyota, so it probably has a few redeeming qualities.

Emos,

Not all the PT's have the rubber 'stache. Some of them have a nice chrome bumper. Looks very nice. Now, the Ass-tek. YEP. That's the one. Ugliest car of ALL-TIME. Looks like a big ski boot shaped like a stretched-out old civic with too many layers. Kinda like they took a few different cars and cut them into sections and stacked them.

I'll throw in the Hyundai Tiburon - lousy 80's corvette body over a tiny wimpy engine!

Looks like a budget Batmobile!

For the record, I don't mind excursions, but I honestly can not think of ANYONE who has a NEED for one. WHY TF do you need to seat 18 people and sit 14 feet off the ground and take up 7 parking spaces? --Add to that the fact that I have never seen one driven by anyone other than 35-yr.-old women with dyed hair and sunglasses on top of their heads eating their frozen yogurt and yapping on their phones. WHO TF ARE THESE PEOPLE?
