My girlfriends Honda Element..... it's an ugly toaster on wheels
BUT...it's 4WD, economical, dependable, & you can fit a damn horse into the back of it!
So, all these things have turned me into an Element lover...

Well, yes, but actually more of a European response. The Merkur XR4TI, as well as the larger, more expensive Scorpio, were German designs from Ford's German arm. And, to put it bluntly, their reliability s**ked.

I had an XR4TI. You are correct on the reliability. I lost my shirt on it when I sold it after a couple of years.
Yes, it was supposed to be Ford's answer to BMW. Jeez...

Actually Ford of America's response. The Merkur was a butchered by Ford US version of the original. Didn't that lame car have the turbocharged Pinto engine in it if I recall. The European versions were better and used different engines, I drove a couple in England.
Another failed car in their history was the Lincoln Mark-whatever coupe that was suppposed to compete with the Lexus coupe per Ford, what a POS.

The dealers in europe could literaly not get hands on enough of these (the basic euro-versions - the Ford Sierra, that is) cars back in the day  I remember cause my dad worked at a Ford dealership and had the first one in norway back in late 1982 (as a 1983 model)

Toyota bB / Scion xB and Honda Fit aren't the most beautiful cars, but they are awesome suburban haulers. They're very cute in the slightly ugly and aloof way.

I have a few.
2002-2003- bugeye Subaru WRX- not a great looking car, but the one that sparked the U.S. turbo, awd revolution.
2004-2006- Pontiac GTO- many slammed the car for it's bland styling, but I love it, it is so clean and the power of the LS V8's is not bad either.
1998-2002 BMW Z3 and M coupe- Many people just do not like the styling, but especially with the M coupe it has a unique style that just stands out.
