Default Ugliest Car ever built

Quite possibly the ugliest car ever built still on the road parked next to me yesterday. Don't know if Tom Peters ever lived this one down, but at least he redeemed himself on later projects. Probably a good case study in the world of corporate decision making from what I've read. #Aztek

It was probably ahead of its time. People like to be different and it might sell well today. I was a tech when it came out. I actually PDI'd and test drove them new. I do agree, it's an ugly SOB. I do have to say that some of the new stuff coming out isn't much better. How about the 2022 Tundra? The front end on that thing is atrocious.

The utilitarian side of them was ahead of it's time. The only thing that comes close and may even beat it for ugliest car is the Juke by Nissan.

I tend to think the Buick version was even more atrocious. Both are in the top 10 ugliest cars of the last 30 years...

I was working at a Pontiac-GMC dealer when the Aztec was first released. It takes a special kind of person to buy that POS.

Ugly you say? Going way back, the 48 Crosley is at the top of my list.
