Forbes: Ugliest Cars Of 2012

Four door hatchbacks tend to be those "but it has such a nice personality" cars. I drive one, actually, and love it, but even lowered it's still a monoblob.

 

The v isn't particularly ugly, it's just... boring.

I got glared at by the salesman when (as I was purchasing one), I commented on it being kinda ugly, and he was displeased. He looked torn between defending the car and the fact that I was about to drop an easy sale in his lap. Poor salesman...

 

Not a fan of that list and I don't agree with some of the vehicles on there.
A few of the mind blowers to me that don't make sense are the CT and the Panamera.

 

What's the point of concocting a stupid list like that? Can't their writers think up anything intelligent?

 

Yes.

 

I thought the Honda/Acura was pathetic the first time I saw it. I question only the Lexus which is almost a dead ringer for the Mazda 3 a few years back before the "smiley face" grill. Then it was praised for it's looks.
It's Forbes, I guess I'm really surprized that gaudy Mercedes was mentioned as well as the wierd Panamera. I actually agree with Jeremy Clarkson on that one, "uglier than a genital wart".

 

The ZDX is one of those cars that looks a heck of a lot better in person. When I saw photos I instantly thought of the Aztec, but after seeing a couple in person I think it pretty decent looking. On the other hand, it is an absolutely silly car - how it ever went from concept to production is beyond me - though it seems like Honda repeated the mistake with the Cross Tour.

 

+1

The thing I can't understand with the cross tour, is honda knew how ugly it was before production and decided people want a really ugly car.

I agree with forbes that the prius v is ugly, much worse looking than the prius liftback or prius c. Unlike those other cars I don't think the prius v's looks will hurt sales.

 

I've never heard of a Porsche on an 'ugly' list before. OK, maybe the 914 wasn't their best design, but that was decades ago.

 

The cT and Prius v don't look all that good stock. When I saw the v, I thought: this would look awesome slammed.

You have a Mazda 3?

I really don't get the Panamera since the turbo version goes like stink.

 

I call the list which car companies didn't buy enough ads in Forbes media.

 

Looks schmooks, Prius v is the best looking wagon I've ever seen and CT is a good looking hatch.

Prius v is going to start looking really good when gas hit $5/gal again.

 

As a Leaf owner, how on earth did they miss it. With bulging headlight's it's looking like a cross between a polliwog and a catfish ... it is one ugly car that I got here.
