Default Re: MSN's Top 50 Ugliest Cars Ever

How can you honestly compare this


to this


or this


The Astons are curvier, have better proportions and the rooflines don't end as abruptly as the Xfire's. The roofline in the Astons have a nice gradual declination that terminates nicely into the rear. The Xfire's line drops abruptly downwards. The overall look of the Astons are much more elegant and sexy than Xfire's. You can't really deny what the above pictures spell out. Please, Don't Take This The Wrong Way!!!!!

I can't really disagree with some of their comments on ugliest cars. I'm not going to touch the #37 entry. People already know my opinion on that, and lord knows I've already been flamed enough on that subject.

The Aztek was a shoe-in, and will be for as long as time continues though.

I definantly agree on the MB 300SL, Ferrari 250GT, Jag E-Type, Lotus Elan, Lambo Miura, Datsun 240Z, Acura NSX, RX-7(FD only!), Aston DB9 and (surprise...not) Audi A5, although I'd take the faster S5 myself.

I disagree on that god awful Citroen though.
