'88-'97 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

It may not be a good looking car nor a sports car but the fact GM had a midsized family car 2dr convert till the late '90s is cool I always wanted a daily driver one. Shame they don't have the 3800 V6.

Always quite liked some of the odd-looking cars to come out of America in the 70s and 80s; as in the 'they're so bad, they're good' types.

Chrysler LeBaron Convertible. The guy's s:censored:-eating grin, mixed with the cheesy pose and the satin jacket just make it even better.

Japan has had its fair share too; the Isuzu VehiCROSS.

Mitsubishi RVR Hyper Sports Gear-R. Evo III engine, drivetrain and chassis with a minivan slapped on top.

A fine example of "Ugly But Appealing"... The Nissan Juke-R! :P

I have developed a soft spot for the Mini Countryman. That car has presence...

I don't get why most would call the Porsche Panamera as ugly. I saw a lot of them on the road, and they look fine. Not the most beautiful car, but definitely an appealing one.

A beast in GT6, and I have a 1:64 Kyosho model of it as well. I love Rotaries a lot. A supercar and a breadvan got married and that is their offspring.
 
I like old Panamera, it grew on me, but I don't like the facelift , the rear looks horrible. I definitely agree on the Juke, it's horrid but I would love to drive one as for the Mazda, it's beautiful in my opinion.
 
But the J30 is RWD and shares many parts with the Gloria/Laurel twins from Japan. Which means it can do stuff like this:

The rear end looks like a Taurus in that picture, though, which still means it's ugly.

When I first saw it, I thought the face was kinda ugly. It also looked like it came out from the mid-2000s, not from the current decade. Surely they could have done better. But now, it somehow starts to grow on me.

Pretty weak, though. The 1.2-litre, inline 4-cylinder engine only produces around 79bhp, and it goes from 0-100km/h in around 14.1 seconds. But being relatively lightweight, it should be a snappy little car around corners.

However, it's inexpensive, with the top variant being priced at around somewhere equivalent to US$13,810. It's also only available with a manual transmission.

Well, consider this one. 1978 Ford Station Wagon. That wood :drool:

Same thing with the Corolla. It's just the miles we sunk into that thing that made it special. If I remember, the car was named "Poly."
My family had one of these, ahh the joy of bouncing around in the back unbelted, kids today have no idea...
 
I'm sure its been said before, but I don't feel like searching through 30 pages to find it, but I have ALWAYS liked the Pontiac Aztek. I don't care what you all say. I LOVE the design.
