Yeah, that Isuzu VehiCross thing is a disgusting display of what designers will do when they try to design a "vehicle for the future". The X-90 is in the same category. WTF were those guys thinking? Something like this maybe:...? "Hey, let's make a 2-seater SUV! It will be largely underpowered, completely unsafe, and ugly as sin to boot! Just think: sports car drivers will be drawn to its lack of interior and cargo proportions, and SUV drivers will like the fact that it's ugly and slow just like their Troopers and Passports!" I don't get how companies can spend millions developing cars like these and the Aztec and still not release some of the awesome concepts the public bags for year-in and year-out!

The Aztek isnt THAT bad looking, especially since they painted the body cladding. The interior is nice, and I bet theyed be VERY easy to parallel park in because of how far down the rear-glass goes.

I'd have to agree with 2000V6SE, the 69-70 Boss 302 and Boss 429 are some of the fastest, best styled (IMO) cars made in that era... Plus anything with a 427CJ, or 428SCJ are just awesome...
The 71 Cuda, 69 Roadrunner, 69-70 Charger, 70 Challenger, 69-70 Mustangs, 69 Camaro, and a host of others from the muscle car era are some of the most sut-after cars... Get a Old car price guide and look at the values of some of these cars... Or watch a Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction some time and see what collectors are willing to pay for these cars...
As far as ugly cars go...
Yugo Gremlin Aztek Lynx ****vette and the list goes on

Post 1950 american cars are, in general, ugly. From time to time, Detroit surprises us with a beautiful car but, unfortunately, for these rare cars the evolution is from beautiful to ugly. Think of what happened to the 1965 1/2 Mustang. Glad that Ford did'nt have enough time to mess up with the CSVT. They did have time though to decontent it ... As for the ugly american cars (the list is long), their normal evolution is from ugly to ugliest. The Pontiac Aztec however has been designed and produced directly in its ugliest state !

i think that buick rednevous(spelled wrong?) is the ugliest, i know it's basically same as aztek, but it's even uglier than the aztek.

I totally agree with 2000V6SE and Son of a Boss...My hubbies 69 roadrunner is the Shtz!!!Beautiful car, terrific handling, and enough power to rip apart anything automakers are producing today!! Given a choice I would drive the RR over almost anything (unless I didn't want to be noticed) and the value of the RR is skyrocketing!! You would have to get clean pants if I told you what we were offered the last time we showed it (2 years ago!) My vote ugliest Aztec Diplomat(k-cars) prowler

UGLIEST: 1. Pontiac Aztec 2. Mid-80's Nissan Stanza Wagon 3. Cadillac CTS 4. Geo Storm Kammback 5. Current Pontiac Grand Am (Batmobile on LSD, dash looks like it came from a Maverick) 6. 1980 Plymouth Turismo, 1991-2 Chevrolet Caprice
Worst 1. Anything that came from Renault (Alliance, Fuego) 2. J-cars 3. Merkur XR4-Ti (great car,really bad engineering) 4. Yugo (big surprise) 5. Early RX7's (great cars generally but they seem to dissintigrate) 6. Chevette/Citation
