This used to be mine, there's tons now though, I don't even know the names of them because I hold them in such contempt so I can't google for a pic.
Pretty much every car from Malaysia, any far eastern car that is designed to be a people car or mini mpv, they have shocking taste and design skills.

The Ford Scorpio often crops up as one of the ugliest cars. But I had one years ago and loved the look. Each to their own I guess.

The Multipla is an ugly car but going back to the title, it has to be the Range Rover Sport HSE that makes me feel sick. Living in Essex (and also if you have ever seen MBFGW or TOWIE) I think they are the auto equivalent of a very over-priced burberry cap. I quite like the other models though.

You just cannot turn a Turd into a Roller or a Volvo . A teacher of mine had one in Secondary School .... I hammered him about it until he swapped it . He did admit to me he was skint and it was given to him , he then swapped it for an Ex-GPO van that had the logos painted over ....... I then hammered him for the remainder of my School Days for becoming Postman Pat .

Same! I was going to Google 'titty car' but didn't think this was a universal term. Funnily enough 'Renault ugly' did it, I think I was mistaken and the manufacturer is actually fiat, but the model is definitely ugly

To be fair I was thinking of the Maestro (first talking car?) and the Montego (check out the yellow one!) more than the humble cheese wedge/door stop/ The 6R4 Metro was hot stuff in the 80's

Wide sweeping statement here , but nothing makes me cringe or sneer more than a car with racing logos all over it when we know it`s just some sort of actual girls car made to look masculine by some spotty McDonalds employee . Usually with mismatching bodywork (coz we was rallying one night like and the front end wasn`t as good as my mad skillz and it was all I could do to save me and Kyle and Tannika and Jordans life ... ok) roughly translates as entering a really gay roundabout at too high a speed and crunching the plastics on the kerbs on the opposite side ....... anyway , I digress , anything fitted with the Full Halfords Devalue Kit gets automatic entry.

ROFL.....I bet they only cost the same as a bit of Blackpool rock!
Chancellor Merkel will pay you to take them away, as there is no more room in German landfills for them, as they do not degrade.

Awful to look at, as they were to drive
This was what my parents driveway looked like circa 1987. Although they had the Talbot Sunbeam which was the hatchback model. Unfortunately not the Lotus variant.
The Avenger was a terrible car, even as a kid I knew that. The wings were like swiss cheese and the plastic seats were nice and sticky in the summer.
Before that they had a Maxi and a Princess. Not they best at buying cars is my dad.
My dad then bought this for my sister to learn to drive in, I borrowed it for work and had it on 2 wheels when I took a roundabout a bit quick!

Sorry it was a Horizon not a sunbeam

I've always found the Citroen CX to be a terrifying car to look at :confused:

Particularly when coupled with this dashboard...

I always liked Land Rover Off roaders, with a few midifications they could be made into amazing machines.
then they released this animal dropping of a car.

The Freelander... Ugly, plastic and er... ugly.
Nearly as ugly as the 101. However, I always wanted (and still do if I am honest) one of these. :smt050

However, as much as I love my precious Suzuki, what the hell were they thinking with this?

The Lada Riva

Not so much made me sick, but did put me in hospital, used one in the Lada challenge/ RAC rally, run out of talent and hit a tree....:smt082

I presume that's a 55? if so they had a novel safety feature, on convertion to RH drive the braking system was plumbed from the left (this was done on a number of cheap car back then, not normally a problem), however the floor was so flexible the front seat passenger could stamp down and cause the brakes to engage,I always though it was one of those urban myths, but we actually tried it and it kind of make the car "hickup", great fun...:cool:
