Vote: What's the Ugliest Car?
Staff Blog | Jan 18, 2013
What’s the ugliest car on the road today? Good question!
We asked you that question last week, and you didn’t hold back with your deplorably hideous nominations. Here they are! Now it’s your turn to vote for the dubious winner.
We realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Even if the beholder has horrible taste (like my brother). So we apologize if your heart’s desire has ended up on this list.
So, we need your help picking the no. 1 ugliest car currently in production. Cast your vote for the winner -- or is it loser? -- at the bottom of this post, now!

"It's what my kids come up with when I tell them, yes you can build a go-cart, but only with the stuff you can find laying on the floor of the shop."-- Tom Bodett
The Infiniti QX
“Production staff put the vehicle together to see if buyers will purchase anything if it cost enough.”-- dgstrattontruth
The Kia Soul
"It's a cross between a Subaru Forrester and Mr. Bean. Good in snow, but mostly just silly."-- Tom Bodett
