The 100 ugliest cars: 100-1 Last Updated: 12:01am BST 25/08/2008  Have your say      Read comments We reveal the ugliest cars of all time as chosen by readers of The Daily Telegraph The 100 ugliest cars of all time 100-81| 80-61| 60-41| 40-21| 20-1 100 - Austin-Healey Sprite Mk1 Archetypal affordable British sports car. Many would regard it as cute, but the provenance of its nickname – “Frogeye” – is glaringly obvious. 99 - Subaru B9 Tribeca Subaru's first true SUV: quirky and thirsty in approximately equal measure. 98 - BMW 7-series Chris Bangle's designs draw plenty of critics… but even more customers. 97 - Bristol Blenheim Not quite as elegantly proportioned as the WW2 bomber with which it shares its name. For all their idiosyncrasies, though, anything built by Bristol has a certain panache. 96 - Honda Insight Dumpy hybrid that looks like a cross between a Citroën GS and a cheese bell. 95 - Fiat Doblo Hardly a fair nominee. It's a van, with windows. It was never going to look like an E-type, was it? 94 - Porsche Boxster It is possible that one or two votes had less to do with aesthetics than they did with perceptions about how certain car owners behave on the road. 93 - VW Touareg Its name hints at the romance of the African desert, but reality is more likely to be the school run in Croydon. 92 - Rolls-Royce Camargue Looks like they ran short of ideas aft of the B-pillar. And the front isn't much better. 91 - Mercedes R-class How a classic Stuttgart estate looks when you give it a set of high heels. 90 - Ford Sierra Its jellymould silhouette was a hit with fleet managers in the mid 1980s. Today, the few that remain are popular with banger racers. 89 - Hyundai Pony No. Redeeming. Features. Whatsoever. 88 - Aston Martin Bulldog Built in 1979, this 235mph prototype was always destined for low-volume production. In the end they built only one. 87 - Leyland P76 Styled by Michelotti for the Antipodean market… but British Leyland assembled cars haphazardly in Australia, too. 86 - BMW Z3 Coupé Germany reinvents the Reliant Scimitar GTE. 85 - Citroën Visa Come on, the Mille Pistes rally version wasn't all bad: it generated just 145bhp (when fully tuned), but then it weighed only 850kg (despite a four-wheel-drive system). 84 - Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Do you really need that much downforce on the A684 through Wensleydale? 83 - Renault 4 How could you? These were terrific, practical workhorses, but most have now sadly rotted from this earth. 82 - NSU Prinz IV How a Chevrolet Corvair might look after shrinking in the wash. 81 - Peugeot 308 One of the most recently launched models to crack the top 100. Peugeot's latest gaping grilles copped quite a bit of flak from the electorate. 80 - Ford Consul Classic A chromed cocktail of complex curves and angles, few of which were complementary. 79 - Lamborghini LM002 It cost almost £100 to brim the tank (in 1990), yet if you tried hard enough you'd still have to refuel about 200 miles later. Versatile, but wondrously impractical. 78 - Bond Bug A three-wheeled vision in tangerine. Top speed 78mph, but quite easy to tip over. And then it was impossible to get out. 77 - Renault 16 Launched in 1965. A versatile family hatchback that had innovative features (for Europe, at least) such as electric windows and central locking. What's not to like? 76 - Yugo 55 Also available with a racy body kit. Did this help? Not really. 75 - Alfa Romeo SZ An Alfa 75 in a different - and undeniably distinctive - new dress. 74 - Mini Metro Was supposed to replace the Mini in our affections, but didn't. 73 - Daf Daffodil Push the gearlever forwards to go forwards, backwards to reverse. The paragon of automotive simplicity. 72 - FSO Syrena Polled fewer votes than the FSO Polonez, but only - we assume - because it is more obscure. 71 - Lightburn Zeta Sedan Australian washing machine (and cement mixer) manufacturer turns its hand to cars. Fails. 70 - Nissan Figaro Enduringly popular retro pastiche from 1991. It was supposed to look like this. That was the whole point. 69 - Hillman Avenger Top Hat limited-edition models were available with a white vinyl roof. Lovely. 68 - Lexus 430SC A hard-top coupé-cabriolet that has oodles of standard kit and is certain to be reliable, but its looks are apparently an acquired taste. 67 - Suzuki X90 I know. Let's take a Vitara and make it altogether less useful. Result? Huge sales flop. 66 - Perodua Kenari The price is attractive, but that's about all.

Last Updated: 12:01am BST 25/08/2008   65 - Renault Vel Satis Large executive saloon from a nation that always struggles to sell large executive saloons (except to French dignitaries). 64 - Mohs Ostentatienne Opera Gold-inlaid walnut instrument panel? Check. Posh, Ming Dynasty-inspired carpets? Check. Truck chassis? Check. 63 - BMW X6 We're running out of fossil fuels and environmental sensitivity is paramount. It must be time to launch a large, four-wheel-drive coupé, then. Obvious, really. 62 - Lada 1200/Fiat 124 The Fiat 124 Special T (95bhp at 6,000rpm) was a very fine car. The shape was a little dated by the time Lada, Polski Fiat et al got their hands on it, though. 61 - Renault Twingo Width and length weren't all that different. Ideal for parking sideways in Parisian streets. Left-hand-drive only, never sold in Britain.

60 - Saab 95 V4

Estate version of the 96, one of the greatest rallying icons of all time.

59 - Ford Mustang

Don't panic... we're talking, here, about the 1980s iteration. Would Steve McQueen have driven one of these? No, frankly.

58 - Honda Element

Now discontinued in Japan, but – perhaps predictably – Americans still buy them.

57 - Aston Martin Lagonda

Also ranked 186th in the “most beautiful cars” survey...

56 - Citroën 2CV

Perfect in form and function, so really shouldn't be here. You're all heartless.

55 - Chrysler 300C

A Rover P5 on steroids.

54 - FSO Polonez

No matter how much fresh bodywork you threw at it, you'd still find a Fiat 125 beneath its skin.

53 - Moskvich 412

A remarkably successful production saloon racer, back in the days when cars were classified according to price rather than engine size.

52 - Skoda Estelle

Skoda wanted to build a contemporary, front-wheel-drive saloon, but Russia denied it a manufacturing licence so all the weight was lumped over the back wheels. Again.

51 - Chevrolet HHR

Brawn in the USA. The name stands for Heritage High Roof.

50 - Chrysler LeBaron

Incorporated a synthesised voicebox that reminded drivers to fasten seatbelts, stop at next burger drive-through etc etc. In short, an Austin Maestro for Americans.

49 - Renault Fuego

A symphony in overhang. Post-1983 cars featured the world's first remote keyless ignition.

48 - Smart fortwo

One reader reckons it looks like a vacuum cleaner attachment. Fair point, well made

47 - Ford Zephyr/Zodiac MkIV

In the 1970s, everyone had a school friend whose dad owned one of these and drove it everywhere at 100mph-plus. This made Cortina owners' sons very jealous.

46 - BMW 6-series

Not the gorgeous 635 CSi of the 1980s, obviously: you voted for the contemporary Banglemobile.

45 - Hillman Imp

Rootes' rear-engined Mini rival. Mostly assembled by Glaswegians who had been trained to build ships rather than cars – a detail that was sometimes obvious.

44 - Vauxhall Viva HA

Science is powerless to explain why Airfix recreated one of these as a 1/32-scale slot racer.

43 - Jaguar XJ-S

Seamlessly elegant… but only from the tip of its bonnet to the B-pillar's leading edge. Cabriolet's proportions much better than those of the coupé.

42 - Tatra T603

A magic carpet ride for Czechoslovakia's ruling classes from 1955-1975. Also exported to other Communist states: Fidel Castro ran one for a while.

41 - Cadillac Escalade

Just say no.

 

 

 

Last Updated: 9:01pm BST 27/08/2008   40 - Ford Corsair A mélange of Thunderbird styling cues and Cortina proportions. Best sampled in 2000E trim, with 97bhp V4 and black vinyl lid. 39 - Wartburg 353 Built in the old East Germany, mostly for state officials. Also available to regular punters, but delivery time could be up to 15 years. The 0-60mph time was similar. 38 - Subaru Impreza Previous-generation models were sometimes ruined by ludicrous spoilers specified by owners. This one comes pre-defaced by the factory. 37 - Reliant Regal/Robin Became slightly better looking when the Robin was introduced, but still had an incorrect wheel configuration. 36 - Lea-Francis Lynx Level of public interest can be gauged from the fact only three were made. 35 - VW Beetle Slow, noisy, ungainly and commissioned by Hitler… but none of these factors were impediments to its eventual status as a talisman. 34 - Toyota Prius An interesting idea, well executed, but self-righteousness comes as standard and the valley might not be as green as you imagine. 33 - Citroën Ami 6/8 At one end of the spectrum France produced Audrey Tautou. At the other it created this. 32 - Ford Anglia 105E Once the grandparental chariot of choice, the Anglebox is now endorsed by wizards. 31 - Marcos Mantis Let us prey. They introduced a supercharged version for those who found the standard V8 model (just the 170mph, that one) too tame. 30 - Toyota Yaris Verso Functionality, reliability and value for money presented with absolutely no sense of balance. 29 - Datsun 120Y Always looked particularly fetching in turquoise (most of the others appeared to be sprayed a kind of mustard yellow, with rusty flourishes on the lower wings). 28 - Rolls-Royce Phantom It's not so much the £250,000 price tag that deters people, more the fact it is longer than the Ark Royal (and has a bigger turning circle). 27 - Toyota Scion XB A rare example of the doorstep sowing an inspirational seed in car designers' minds. 26 - MINI/MINI Clubman Dynamically they are top drawer, but this isn't an exercise in dynamics

 

Last Updated: 9:01pm BST 27/08/2008 Page 2 of 2   25 - Morris Marina This was one of several certs to make the list - a Morris Minor given a new set of clothes as BLMC attempted to take on the Ford Cortina. A nice idea done badly. 24 - SsangYong Musso It was considered odd in 1995, but given the company's subsequent design direction this looks positively Pininfarinaesque. 23 - Daimler SP250 The police weren't bothered what it looked like: they appreciated its 120mph top speed. Many ended up as patrol cars. 22 - Volvo 340/360 Once you bought one, you were stuck with it: as durable as Earth itself. 21 - Austin Maxi The interior could be converted into a double bed. Given that the car was likely to break down at least once a fortnight, this was a perspicacious touch

 

 

20 - Range Rover

Once thought to be a practical, versatile ally for countryside dwellers. Now looks like a Securicor van.

19 - AMC Gremlin

Launched, appropriately, on April 1, 1970.

18 - Nissan Micra

Funny that an innocuous runabout could stir such feelings of derision. Some singled out the coupé-cabriolet version as being particularly gruesome.

17 - Ford Edsel

The company whipped the American public into a frenzy: they thought they'd be getting something special, but it turned out to be just another Ford. The grille was compared to something that is unspeakable in a family newspaper.

16 - Trabant

Launched in 1957, it was originally supposed to be in production for 10 years but remained there for 33.

15 - Audi Q7

"My other car's in the boot."

14 - Triumph TR7

Noticed how many British cars of the 1970s and '80s are on this list?

13 - Morris Ital

Talking of which… The Marina might have been a flawed attempt to tart up the Minor, but this was a very badly flawed attempt to tart up the Marina.

12 - Ford Ka

Some people think it looks like a hamster on wheels. They have a point.

11 - BMW 1-series

Modern family hatchback has driven wheels in the correct location. Result. The styling has not been so enthusiastically received.

10 - Chrysler PT Cruiser

Quite a number of old American cars were among the 309 that people nominated (although many received only a single vote). And this looks like an old American car. QED...

9 - Austin Princess/Ambassador

Originally known as the Austin/Morris/Wolseley 18-22, it was subsequently rebranded as the Princess (the death knell for Wolseley as a brand name) and later facelifted as the Ambassador. Quite straightforward, really.

8 - Hummer

Some think they look good on 20-inch wheels. Others think the stretched version has presence. We think they are ideally suited to a) the desert, their natural habitat or b) the crusher.

7 - Ford Scorpio

The Granada and Consul had a certain cachet, partly embellished by their dual role as both chase and getaway cars in TV cop shows. Then Ford sacrificed all that muscular flair and created this. Good ones run forever, apparently.

6 - AMC Pacer

Shorter than most other American cars of the late 1970s, but just as wide, the Pacer had the advantage of looking like nothing else on the road. It had the disadvantage, however, of looking truly hideous. Somehow, they flogged 280,000 of them.

 

5 - Porsche Cayenne

A masterclass in engineering… but this predominantly V8-engined SUV solves all kinds of problems that don't exist. That said, it does have the ability to tear along at 140mph in areas that don't yet have speed cameras (fields, the River Spey, Ben Nevis, Blackpool beach – that kind of thing).

4 - Austin Allegro/Vanden Plas

The same car in most respects, but one has a Rolls-style grille that looks rubbish on a compact saloon. Not actually as good as the Austin 1100 series that went before. And what was the point of a quartic steering wheel?

3 - SsangYong Rodius

The original design brief, apparently, was to capture the essence of a luxury yacht. To gauge the success of this, we recommend the entire production run be shipped to the mid-Atlantic and dropped over the side.

2 - Fiat Multipla

Derided for the blandness of its output during the 1980s and early 1990s, Fiat dared to start thinking outside the box. In this case, however, it simply added wheels to the box and chucked in a few curved balls.

1 - Pontiac Aztek

When voting began, many of you possibly didn't know what an Aztek was. As a trickle of votes came in, however, people began searching Google's image database, eyes boggled, the floodgates opened and the Fiat Multipla's comfortable lead was pegged back.
