For me, it has to be the Buick roadmaster of the mid 90's. It amazes me that someone actually designed this awful looking car and then thought people would like it and buy it. A fat, disgusting widebody, semi-lowrider stationwagon with false wood panels on the side. That car just makes me want to laugh, shake my head, and say, what idiot exec gave the go ahead to produce. I'd hate to see my wife try to parallel park that monster.

Now, the much older Roadmasters looked really neat.

What would you nominate as the ugliest car of all time?

A PT Cruiser with the faux wood panels is far worse.

The 70's had a multitude of hideous cars, even the Mustang II was hard to look at.

More recent nominees should include but not be limited to:

Chevy Avalanche
Lexus SC430
Pontiac Aztec
Subaru Tribeca
Fiat Multipla
Dodge Nitro
and my personal least favorite, the Hyundai Tiburon.

That car has "cheap piece of crap" written all over it.

I'm actually drawin to the "fox box" mustang of the 80's. 50/50 weight split, decent 5.0 engine. dad had one but it was modded like crazy unfortunately it was what he was driving when he got into the wreck that took his life. :(. Still a hell of a car tho

That cars fate was sealed by it's inclusion in Ice Ice Baby.

I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
And a hi-hat with a souped up tempo
I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo
Rollin' in my 5.0
With my rag-top down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby waving just to say hi
Did you stop no I just drove by

Oh Vanilla Ice...

Heh, having spent some time in Japan in my youth, lets just say that "box car" design that some of you hate so much is somewhat prevalent in Japan. It's considered to be "cute" in an off-beat kind of way.

Personally, I think it's kinda cool though I'd never drive one myself.

Edit: Actually, having a closer look at that Scion BBX that was linked, I'm not sure I've seen anything else that looks like that. The front end of it just looks ill-designed.

Try driving an all maroon (inside and out) 1978 chevy monza and tell me that its not the ugliest damn thing you have ever seen.

That thing was a monster. Smaller in size than other beasts but it took a header pretty well and let me walk away to tell about.

I do love those BBS wheels though. honestly, I've always loved gold wheels(not the bling bling gold) on cars. I had 17" gold wheels on my old black Honda del Sol and it looked sick. I had a lot of trouble getting traction with 17"s though(200whp all motor).
