This is strange...

The very first hit in Google Image Search for 'fugly car' yields...

One case where I DON'T agree.

I'm a huge fan of the concept and I nearly bought one, but why couldn't they make this car a little more attractive?

The new BMW 3 series got the "ugliest car" award in Top Gear lol



I don't think it's ugly. It's just a bit bland and boring.

I've seen this question posed on other forums and invariably the elise gets mentioned. Some people feel its hideous.

Well...at least our car can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee...see below, it really *can* float...(no photoshop)...and those inside seem to find it beautiful...as do many on the outside.

Stan,

The smiles on the faces of the driver and passenger say it ALL! I believe that is the onset of "perma-grin."

Great photos.

Subaru

This "car" and the Aztec are my favorites. Remember the plastic seats in the truck bed?
