Top 10 Ugliest Cars

  Today I was thinking about ugly cars. I mean REAL ugly cars. Not just cars sold in the United States. Upon seeing these eyesores you wonder what the designers were smoking when they designed them. Face it there are some cars that are bound to be ugly. So here is my list of the ugliest cars. 
1. Hyundai Veloster. Now this car is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen from Hyundai. Aside from all of the shitty cars that they make, this one is just plain ugly. Is it the hatchback thingy? or is it just the fact that it looks like the Bastard Child from a Mazda 2 and a Ford Fiesta? You be the judge here. 







Honda CR-Z




2. Honda CR-Z. You see even Honda makes ugly cars once in a great while. Now the Honda CR-Z is riding on the coattails of the Honda CRX which has a cult following on it's own. The CR-Z just looks like the original Honda Insight fused with a Honda Del Sol. Nevertheless it's just damn uglier than Seals face or that boy from the movie Beastly. Heck it's just an Ugly Honda. The CRX was a legendary Honda something the CR-Z Will Never be.






Honda Element
3. Honda Element. Ok so it looks like another Honda made it on the list. Why the Element? Well considering that it looks like a Toaster on wheels, makes it really ugly and doesn't appeal to my taste. Not to mention the Element and Friends advertisements that were featured in magazines where the element would be talking to a critter of nature. Stupid and pointless like this car and the people who bought it.



Ugly ass car.






4. Kia Soul. You probably already heard of the Kia Soul by now.  Chances are you seen the dumb commercials with the urban gangbanger hamsters driving this ugly car with one hit wonder rap songs being played in the background. This car is marketed towards younger buyers, where I only see older buyers driving one. This car looks like it was designed by the French and the Italian car designers, and is an ugly ugly eyesore.










Scion Xb
5. Scion Xb (Second Generation) Boy oh boy did someone get uglier or what. The good folks at Toyota's design center ruined a really iconic thing by making it even uglier than before. Preferably I choose the first generation Scion Xb over the second generation one, because I like the boxier version better. This one looks like the Scion Xb gotten fat and ugly and doesn't care about it's image anymore.











Pontiac Aztek
6. Pontiac Aztek. Look at this ugly thing. It is really super de duper ugly. I mean Come on couldn't they have at least spelled Aztek right? There are really no other words to describe this.









Nissan Cube



7. Nissan Cube. The Nissan Cube is one of those cars that is trying to mimic the Scion Xb and the Honda Element. Not only is this car super ugly, it is now no longer exclusive to Japan. For one thing what is with the left side window, how it wraps around the back of the car. I mean really that right there wasn't thought through. Not to mention that this car doesn't even look like a cube.





Nissan Puke.. I mean Juke.
8. Nissan Juke.  It looks like another Nissan made it on my list. This car is really Super Ugly. It looks like a stillborn Nissan Murano or Rouge that has some kind of birth defect. Someone owns one where I go to college and when I see this car I want to throw up. This car has no appeal whatsoever. Not to mention that Nissan makes a convertible of this also.







Citroen Xsara Picasso
9. Citroen Xsara Picasso. Thank God this car isn't sold in the United States. Did you ever wonder why French cars never sold well in the United States? Well the reason is that they had designs that were too weird for American car buyers taste. Not to mention that they were all mechanically pieces of shit. The Xsara Picasso looks like half of a lemon on wheels. Pun intended. What's with all of the weird windows in the car. It does look like Picasso designed this himself.





Honda Ridgeline
10. Honda Ridgeline. If this is Honda's attempt at a pickup truck for the American Market then they fail big time. I find it funny that Honda should have made this a 2 door instead of a 4 door pickup, because their competitors Nissan and Toyota make 2 door pickup trucks. Making a truck that is exactly like the Chevrolet Avalanche is stupid. Honda dun goof'd with the most ugliest cars on my top 10 list and came out the Champion with 3 cars.

Top 5 Japanese Cars That Should Be Sold In The USA

   I love cars. I love them so much that I talk about them a lot. I even collect toy cars. But If you read my last post about the top 5 Toyota Vehicles That Should Be Sold Here In The USA, you know I like Japanese cars, well some of them. Anyway without further a due here are the top 5 Japanese cars that should be sold in the USA.
Honda Civic Type R Euro.
   5. Honda Civic Type R Euro. Now Honda sells many variations on the legendary Honda Civic here in the United States. However they don't sell the Type R Euro here. Now the Honda Civic Type R Euro comes in three different colors, Milano Red, Alabaster Silver Metallic, and Championship White. What makes this Civic so different? For one, it's a $42,000 Honda Civic. Also It's a high performance Civic which pretty much explains the high price tag. I'll keep my Matchbox version thank you.
Mitsubishi Triton
   4. Mitsubishi Triton. Here is a perfect example of something that Mitsubishi can make a ton of money on here in the USA. As you can see, the Mitsubishi Triton is a direct competitor to the Honda Ridgeline and the American Chevrolet Avalanche. But at a price of $41,800 it's a little expensive for a four door pickup truck. I think I would rather keep my Matchbox version of this thank you.
2011 Daihatsu Hijet
    3. Daihatsu Hijet. For those of you who remember the failure of Daihatsu in the USA back in the late 1980s probably can guess that Daihatsu will most definitely come to the USA ever again. Anyway here is the Daihatsu Hijet kei truck. Used kei trucks are already sold here in the USA, but not many places sell them. There is a use for these here in my opinion. Rural Postal workers can use these because they are already Right Hand Drive so it would be easier to put the mail in the mail box. Small farmers could use the Hijet to carry crops to the local market and so on. At a base price of $9,800, this kei truck won't break the bank. 
Nissan Civilian Bus.
   3. Nissan Civilian Bus. If you read my post on Toyota's you probably noticed the Toyota Coaster there. Well here is Nissan's equivalent to the Coaster. There is a huge market for small buses here in the USA, but the Japanese automakers fail to realize that. The Nissan Civilian Bus sells for $73,000 for a 26 passenger model, if you want 29 passengers you'll pay $3,000 more.    

    1. Subaru Exiga. Now here's a car from my favorite Japanese automaker, Subaru. My family loves Subaru's. Let's Cut to the chase here. The Exiga is a station wagon that is different from the Subaru Outback. For one thing, it seats 7 compared to the Outback's 5 passenger seating. It also has an optional glass roof and a turbo option. I know that this is not a minivan, but this car is the perfect alternative for the minivan. The Exiga is priced at $28,300.
