Ugliest car ever made?

Nissan Juke, Fiat Multipla, Pontiac Aztec are all good candidates... but imho Marcos Mantis takes the cake.

Small children shouldn't see this before bedtime as it's so freakin' ugly.

Any other candidates?

Intrepid is so 90's... a bit like the Camaro from that era.

Cadillac Catera was actually Opel Omega in Europe. Never thought it was so ugly... maybe a bit boring though.

Wow that Mantis looks like it was designed by committee.

Derrick you take the front quarter panel, Nigel you take the back, I'll do the bonnet, Freddie you do the front end, Colin you do the boot....

It’s funny how some cars like the Volkswagen Beetle maintained it quaint and cute description and never devolved into an ugly description.

Of course a lot of AMC models were pretty ugly.

I'm in two minds about Stutz Blackhawk. This was Elvis Presley's favorite car.

In a way it's ugly (from the front) but in a cool way. The rear isn't bad. At least it's very different. I'd definitely drive it.

Oh boy. That looks like the cars I would draw in the 4th grade getting inspiration from the Ferrari 308 hahaha

Almost looks like the front and rear were styled independently with no collaboration lol.

I'm trying to come up with something better (or worse) but having a hard time...

When I first met my spouse at age 19, she was driving a dull green AMC Gremlin. The worst car ever made, and in my opinion, the ugliest. I had to put chains on the rear tires in the winter in order for her to drive over the slight incline at the railroad tracks to get to work.
