I'm shocked the Lexus HS250h isn't on there...
Also surprised that the Prius made the list, but not the Honda Insight. The Insight is far far uglier

funny enough, elsewhere in the world (IMO) the spindle made it look somewhat decent than what we had over Stateside

It looks better with the facelift, but it still has those generic Toyota Corolla styling cues.
If it had debuted looking like this however, it certainly would have been much better received ..

I'm glad to see the 96 Ford Taurus on that list. I hate that car more than anything else on the road. It's so ugly and they all are run down pieces of junk. Somehow I still manage to see them everywhere.

The 02 7 Series is pretty ugly too. The E38 was a slick looking car, but they totally ruined that car in 2002. It's the ugliest BMW in my opinion.

I agree with the list except for the 2000 Monte Carlo. My dad had a custom painted blue SS and it was so cool. I've always thought the 00+ SS model was a good looking car.

The Taurus/Sable was a rather strange vehicle as far as quality control at the factory was concerned, with reliabiity records all over the place. You could pick three of them at random off the assembly line, and one might be a complete lemon, one would be about average, and the other one would run 200,000 miles without any problems.

That sounds about right. I'll occasionally will see one with high miles that runs great. The rest are either struggling just to make it down the street or their broken down on the side of the road.

The weird thing about those cars is how popular they are around here. It's more common than any other in my area.
