Can I add the 2008 xB and xD and 2010 Porsche Panamera which would follow 3,4, 7 on the list.
 
My god Scion has to by far and away be the ugliest builder of automobiles in history. The Aztec, looks like Angelina Jolie, in comparison. However nothing on this earth has been built quite as ugly as the Dodge Sprinter. That thing is so damn ugly, it depreciates every home in the neighborhood. ROTFFLMAO !!!!

Whats wrong with the sprinter? It is a commercial van built purely for function. Have you ever driven one? They are great and might be the best light to medium duty commercial van around.
 
The Ford Transit might be better but you can't buy those in the states.

They have figured out that they laid a styling egg with the Impreza and Tribeca and now have a redesign. We'll see if that's enough to bring them around.
 
No argument on the Nitro. That is pretty awful. Actually, after having nice looking vehicles for quite a while Chrysler seems to have been bitten with the ugly bug.
 
I'd disagree with a lot of the suggestions but, yeah, the Scions generally put the "ugh" in ugly.

#6 of 124 Subaru's Turbo Legacy 4-door by iluvmysephia1

sedan is by far the best looking Subie I've seen yet.
 
The WRX may race nicely but is it ever ugly. I throw most all of the Subaru stable in with the Pontiac Aztek for ugliest honors.
 
Those make the AMC Gremlin look mighty sporty!
 
Subaru and I don't even come close to seeing eye-to-eye body design-wise. Eeek.

There isn’t a 2007 xB so the 2006s are just seriously ugly. I will also agree the xA isn’t pleasing to look at either. Subaru’s decision to make the Tribeca and Impreza look like bottom-feeding suckerfish has to place them in the same boat. I am not too impressed with the Dodge Nitro looks wise. The Prius looks a lot like a loafer someone put wheels on and the Yaris hatch is nothing to write home about. Honda should be ashamed of themselves for making the Element and the Ridgline may be a nice try but it isn’t any more attractive than a Element without a back end. Hummer has the H-2 and H-3 that are ugly for no other reason other than a family resemblance to the H-1. Ugly without a reason.
 
In Order?
 
xB
Element
H-2
H-3
xA
Tribeca
Impreza
Ridgline
Prius
Yaris Hatch.
 
IMO

#8 of 124 In no particular order.... by andys120

1)Lincoln Town Car
2)Buick Rendevous
3)Chevy Avalanche
4)Cadillac Escalade/EXT
5)Audi Q7
6)BMW 5-Series
7)Saturn Ion
8)Nissan Maxima

Dishonorable mention: Jeep Compass, Subie Tribeca, Yota Yaris 4-dr., Subaru Impreza, (old and new), Porsche Cayenne.
 
Wow, an Audi, two Bimmers and a Porsche make the ugly list, what is the world coming to? I especially can't wrap my head around the concept of an ugly Audi.

That is a tough concept!
 
The Tribeca follows an old line of ugly - that center grill. That's tough to pull of - ask Ford about the Edsel.

british,
 
You must have beer goggles on if you can't see how ugly that beast is. I'm not questioning it's fuction but man it sure is a eye sore. I know I wouldn't want my company's name on the side of one. Customer's would turn you away at there door.
