How about the citroen Mehari (as citroen built a lot of uly cars, this one might be the worst).

The couple in the picture probably wasn't very rich at that time...

Considering GM and Fiat are looking to work together, a Fiat Humvee is not
far fetched at all.

In all honesty, many of the cars posted so far are pretty mild.

The Eagle Premier was pretty ugly, as were the AMC Eagle, Spirit and Concord.
The Renault Alliance was also pretty horrid.

honestly Fiat broke up with GM 2 yrs ago..and with one of the biggest lawer penalty ever done (resane all fiat group).
GM prefer to pay than go on in such cooperation (only bullshits done together..).
Now is the time for the new signed joint venture with....ehm...lol..ehm...FORD!!.

Ps:Note Lapo elkan,one of ex boss(28 yrs old) after the cocaine-shemale scandal..is now working with...coca cola.(after being cured for 3 weeks in a drug clinic in Texas.).
Seems rich are able to leave cocaine problem in 3 weeks..when normal humans never do that in an entire life..strange eh?
And its not a joke.

funny Italy..u know, nothing serious here) just football and some (not all)reds in Maranello

Just catching up on old threads and ran across this one. Although I respect the capabilities and performance (and would love to own one of his new offerings) I think this belongs here:



as well as this one:

Re: the Monsters...

Lamborghini really have had some shockers but I'd have to exclude the Miura - Gorgeous IMO (especially the version without the eyelashes).

Bertone have been responsible for some real clangers. One of the Lotus' was pretty awful but I don't remember what it was called.

As for the McLaren F1, I'm afraid that although I love the car I don't think it's a stunner. I have much the same opinion of the Honda NSX - Not awful but could have been so much better.
I think the Veyron is pretty hideous.

Pininfarina have been responsible for some of the best looking cars IMO.

For a car that could have looked great but ended up completely out of balance how about -

Tim.

Re: the Monsters...

Here are a couple more of my (un)favourites -

The Ford EB GT - One of those cars where the factory tells us we're all wrong and we'll grow to like it... Personally I think it looks like a 16 year old kid has whacked plastic all over a Falcon.

The Subaru Vortex - wrong in so many ways but almost right in others.

Re: the Monsters...

Then there's race cars -

Not sure what the first car is ATM.

The Ferrari "Breadvan" is er interesting...

There were some pretty ugly Cobra Daytonas but I don't have an image of a bad one ATM.

The Xylon is just plain strange.

The Mantis...

The Mantis 2 + 2...

and the Mini Marcos...
