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 |

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 9)Jeep Commander 10)BMW Z4 Coupe 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.

I'm only hesitant to put the current Camry and CR-V, I'm not particularly crazy about either design and in both cases prefer the look of the vehicles they replaced - I just don't think they are top ten material. Top twenty is another story.... |

Replying to: rockylee (Apr 26, 2007 9:42 pm) Too bad that GM does not build a vehicle that is as practical. They would not be in the pickle they are in now. If GM built a PU with the Sprinter engine and transmission, I would already own one. It is better than anything they offer for practical transportation. Not beauty just functional. I think all the vehicles on your list and many more are as ugly with no functional value to them. PS The view as I am typing. Wish you were all here. Stuck here for 2 weeks.
