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 like so many of the ugly and oddball cars. I'm not talking like "ugly sedan" stuff, like anything that's just strange, odd or one-off, or kooky models, or things that tanked or nearly tanked a company. Big flops and divisive designs. I love the look of so many vehicles like that. I also realize why many of them don't work out so my enjoyment of bad taste is at least a cognizant thing.
