Now let's finish him off with one that will really hurt ! A Mopar!
 

 
An ugly Mopar in a nasty color at that! Even being a Formula S won't save this car!

Wow, I should never have came back to these, especially after lunch.
 
I'll still like that 70's van in a VW micro bus kind of way. I could see driving the kids around and giving them the 70's experience.
 
But the past 6 or 7 posts,those make me want to hurl, especially that French thing. I will leave it up to Andre to defend those.

Actually the Skylark is my favorite rendition of GM's ill-fated X-car. Now, I hate the fact that GM didn't get the quality control right from the get-go on these cars. Had the quality been there, I think the X-car would have been a respectable little ride. The Skylarks even had pretty nice interiors, IIRC. Some of the cheaper models, like the base-level Citations and Phoenixes were pretty nasty though. And I hated those funky hatchback sedan styles that looked like a big football.

Ahh yes, a Cadillac pickup truck. Yeah, I think I could hate those. Any Cadillac SUV that's based on a Chevy truck/SUV for that matter. I think the Lincoln Navigator was always SOOOO much more tasteful when it comes to these behemoth luxury trucks. I wouldn't want one of those either, but I just think Lincoln went the extra mile with details like the style and the interior.
 
Although wait, IIRC, the Navigator recently got a pretty nasty restyle with a lot of lattice work on it. Okay, THAT one I hate!

Ugh...good little cars, especially with the hot 273-4bbl, but pretty ugly. Especially in that color. It's amazing to think that in one generation they went from that mess to the beautiful '67-69 Barracuda!
 
Maybe in a nicer color like black, with some cool rally wheels, I could tolerate that early Barracuda, but that particular one, I dunno. Not out and out hate, but a very strong dislike!

I guess I just don't have my mojo working.... He LIKED the 81 Skylark, and he's shaking off the Barracuda's. I guess I'll have to step outside the Geneva Convention rules - Goggles, everyone!

Ah yes, those Godawful '57 Mercurys with the grafted-on quad headlights. I HATE those! That's one car where one little detail changes the car from something that never stirred me one way or another to something I absolutely despise.
 
The cheaper models with the single headlights (or I'm sure you had to got a Turnpike Cruiser with singles in some states that year), don't really bother me. They're not what I'd call attractive. Just kind of big and boxy, with a bit too much clutter thrown on. But slap those ugly quads on there, and it takes the car to a whole new level.
 
I also hate the similarly awkward quad setup on the '58 Packards and Studebakers...but I guess I can still sort of excuse the cars as a whole, because they didn't have that much money to put into them by that time. And I guess the did the best they could with what they had. Actually, except for the quad lights, I don't think a '58 Studebaker or Packard is that bad looking. The hardtop models look kinda like little DeSotos and Chryslers.

Now this is where my head starts to spin like an owl Andre.
 
You can see the ugliness of that Mercury but you find a '58 Packard-baker not too bad?
 
When I see a Packard Hawk, I want to blind myself.
