What objectively ugly car design do you secretly like, and why? (europe.pub)

It doesn't have to be a real production car, it can also be a concept.

For me, it has to be the 1997 Dodge Copperhead. This ugly chungus just speaks to me and I don't know why. It is hideous, Pontiac Aztek levels of ugly, but I kinda wish Dodge actually sold it. It wasn't going to be gutless, sharing much with the Viper, but it also wasn't going to have the same price of the Viper (Viper at the time was ~$75k, this baby would have been ~$30k). For the price, a little ugly isn't that big of a deal for a similar powertrain. Surely a facelift kit could help it out some.

Just thought a discussion like this could be fun. What cars are the same for you?

i actually really like the look of the original ford ka with the plasnic bumpers. especially the cabriolet version:

the fiat multipla is of course the classic contender:

and then there's the REVAi, better known as the G-Wiz:

it looks like a real-life choro-Q car!

and a personal favourite, which i don't think is even a bit ugly, it's just a marvel of design: the europe-only version of the 2006 honda civic.

literally no bad angles.

The Multipla was the most practical vehicle ever made. Two rows of three. Huge inside, yet easy on gas and easy to drive and park.

yeah that's my takeaway as well. function over form.

The Multipla justifiably gets a lot of hate, but it had great visibility, and seats six (three front seats rather than two).

It really is fugly though.

The Multipla is the one I immediately pictured but I did not know the name

Ok, now I have to know your dream girls (or guys).

To see if your specific tastes transfers over to humans.
