Bought it for $200. 10,000 miles and a brake job later, I sold it for $175. And the Nissan Cube is one of the most awesome looking vehicles I've ever seen.

Um, you were being faceitious, right Bill? The AMC Matador doesn't look that bad at all though. Kinda racy, in fact.

I remember my best friend in High School was about to get her license. Her parents traded in the mortifying "station wagon" and came home with an AMC Pisser, er I mean Pacer. She about collapsed. it was 2-tone lime-puke green. Awful car!

I did take exception to them including the Subara brat as one of the ugliest cars. I wanted one of those in the worst way!

Caught me with the ugliest -- brand new '74 Pinto right off the showroom floor with full pinstriped manuel 4-speed sport package and larger 2.3 engine. The other affordable choice would have been a Vega.

On the street, out from under the bright showroom lights, lime-yellow is really puke with a hint of booger. More disenchanting was the first year for 5 mph bumpers, adding front and back bookshelves.

Along with exploding rear end, the Firestone 500 tires had steel belts that broke through to shred the tire. I lost two before they were recalled. Five years, showroom to junkyard.

Had an aquamarine/white top '65 Rambler Classic 660, they were square as box, but fun. As a first car for a 16 year old in 1971 for $165.00 it was mine and freedom. Three-on-the-tree was fun delivering pizzas, but had to fix a jammed linkage often, then a new transmission. The seats reclined flat back for taking in Fritz the Cat at the drive in, or having 13 friends pile in at the pool hall and head 2 miles to McDonalds. Got a couple years worth.

I think the wipers worked by vacuum. Bare bones car, no wheel wells.

My dad had a two-toned '57 Ford Fairlane when we were a one-car family, then went to an El Camino for work and a Rambler Ambassador for a family car. Don't recall the Rambler lasting long.

Agree, a very ugly car! My parents bought one that was totaled by someone running a red light while my sis was driving. The equally ugly replacement was totaled by a drunk running a stop sign while my mom was driving it. Neither car made it to it's first b-day. You forgot to mention, the creepy talking the car computer did. In my mind those cars were not only ugly, but also cursed. (neither my sis or mom has been in an accident since)
