To be fair, few things can. And look how well that worked out for the former star of The Fast and needs to die in a diesel fire.

I can't stand the Nissan Juke. It's got to be the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life.

I also can't believe they put a Nissan GTR drivetrain in it.

...I really can't believe they sold them for $500,000.

The Nissan Murano convertible is still their ugliest car imo.

Old tires are a big problem. The Carrera GT was also an incredibly dangerous car if you weren't a competent driver.

Haha yeah those are pretty ugly as well. I'd say tied with the Juke though.

At least if I look head on at the Murano it's not as repulsive.

This Murano crosscabriolet is so much worse. A convertible truck is something that should NEVER exist.

The Murano is nothing compared to this..

The Murano is still worse since it's supposed to look nice.

That is a hateful "car"

[Pasi123]

Pt Cruiser, Multipla, Aztek, Micra, Juke, Qashqai and many other ugly af cars.

[Atmos]

Band wagoning on the Juke, I absolutely despise the way the car looks. Also hate the styling of the Aztek and just hate the Fiat Abarth in general. Also fox body mustangs, just can't stand them at all, they just don't look cool at all to me in any way.

 

As far as irrational hate goes I can't stand the camaro and charger, they just make me cringe; maybe its the kind of people who drive them that I've met, or the image of the old styling being ruined by the bulky, bulbous body and awkward styling of the newer models.

[cluelessgenius]

multiplas and hondas older than 2000. 

 

but usually i can even appreciate an ugly car if its well cared for. what makes me cringe most is when people neglect their car no matter how ugly or beautiful to begin with. 

yellow faded headlight with water in them. interior stuffed with carbage. 20 year old tires. wheels all scuffed up from hitting the sidewalk all the time. oil never changed.

those kind of things will make me hate a car and its owner way more.

 

oh and i just remembered one big thing: S..U..mother f*ckking..V 's 

i dont know why people keep buying them they are not faster and the modern one are no more offroad capable than any other normal car and most of them dont even offer more space than a standard height car. the issue i have with them is that in most cases their headlights and rear/brake lights are mounted so high that they are directly in my face either standing right in front of me at the traffic light or in my mirror when they drive 2m behind at 180km/h.

getting a SUV with no offroad capabilities to me is compensation for other deficites. because theres literally no diffference to a station wagon except you sit higher and it looks more aggressive and somehow superior so the only reason to buy one is not reason but psychology.

I think this actually leads into a more interesting question than the one originally posed by the OP -- What was your favorite body styling of various cars, and which cars were just downright ruined? There have been a lot of very questionable decisions made over the years. 

 

Mustang:

First Gen > Second >>> Sixth (current) > Fifth >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Third > Fourth

First Gen: (1965-1973)

Taurus: 

Sixth (current) >> Fifth >>>>>>> Fourth > First > Second >>>>> Third

Third: (1996-1999)

 

Fourth: (2000-2007)

 

Fifth: (2008-2009)

 

Sixth (current): (2010-)

 

Fusion:

Pretty good since the beginning, but consistently getting better.

 

Focus: 

They're basically all the same level of meh, the wheel styling certainly isn't helping anything.

 

Fiesta: 

Seventh > Sixth (refresh) >> Sixth >>>> first-fifth. The first few generations had the ugly boxy styling, but at least it's not the disgusting roundedness Ford was pushing around the start of the century.

Spoiler

First (1976-1983):

 

Second (1983-1989):

 

Third (1989-1997):

 

Fourth (1995-2002):

 

Fifth (2002-2008):

 

Sixth (2008-2013):

 

Sixth Refresh (2014-2017):

 

Seventh (2017-present):

 

Escape: 

Basically always nice (but consistently getting better).

 

Edge: 

Same as the Escape.

 

Explorer: 

Same as Escape and Edge. 

 

CHEVROLET:

Corvette: 

Seventh / Third  > Second >>> sixth > first >>> fourth > fifth

C1 (1953-1962):

Camaro:

Second > First > Sixth > Fifth > Third >>> Fourth.

First (1967-1969):

Third (1982-1992):

Fourth (1993-2002):

Fifth (2010-2015):

Sixth (2016-present):

 

Cruze: 

All are basically good. 

 

Impala:

The Impala is really interesting as its original design was nothing like what it turned into, as such, I broke it into two categories. While I like the fifth gen more than the newer body style, it would just never fly in modern times. 

Tenth >>> Ninth > Eighth > Seventh > Fifth > Sixth

Fourth > Second > Third > Fifth

Spoiler

First (1958):

 

Second (1959-1960):

Third (1961-1964):

Fourth (1965-1970):

Fifth (1971-1976):

Sixth (1977-1985):

Seventh (1994-1996):

Eighth (2000-2005):

Ninth (2006-2016):

Tenth (2014-present):

Malibu:

A very similar trend to the Impala.

I actually quite like the looks of the new charger. It looks pretty damn mean to me.

[handymanshandle]

Has no one mentioned the Mitsubishi Mirage? Ugly thing. I mean the current gen or facelift is a little better but still. If you want a small car ... 

Get a Honda fit or Kia Rio at least they have a 4 cyl engine unlike the mirage.

I mean they still have elements of the older from like years ago and so I could see how some might think it's getting a little dated but they still look really good.

Poor thing, it's butt ugly sadly. My dad owned an older one, they were pretty reliable. but now they just look like pure shit.

Whats wrong with a 3 cylinder in a city car?

 

Mx-5's - Dont see the appeal nor and you can get things that are just as fun to drive and have more power so are nicer to drive

90% of small crossovers - Not needed in cities, why is everyone buying these things now?

Cars with tiny diesel engines - wtf are you gonna do with a 1.3 diesel??!?

It takes 12.8 seconds or so to go 0-60mph. Some city driving does include high way speeds. Passing power really doesn't exist in a 74hp car.

If it had a turbo, a 3 cyl would be more okay for a city car tbh.

 

Agreed with the MX5. Although I do like some other Mazda products and really wished they'd bring back the speed moniker and make a decent speed6 that maybe actually was speedy. I mean the 4 cyl they used back in 2005-2007 was decent but either a NA V6 or even a turbo'd V6 would be cool. I mean if they wanted to be even better, a twin turbo V6 would work.

 

but in america at least, a lot of people who buy small crossovers and suvs/cuvs in general tend to live outside the city but the ones buying the smaller ones like what we call the Chevrolet Trax. I'm not sure if Opel and Vauxhall have an equivalent but Holden does, by the same name.

My mom got a Kia Soul for a few reasons, she liked the way the looked, the price was pretty good for the one she got, and it had the features and practicality she needed.

 

And it's been a really good car with no issues with the car itself. It's a 2011 Kia Soul ! that we've had since 2013. Got it for like $14,000. It had like 30,000 miles when we got it and we've put 100,000 on top of that. 

 

I want her to get one of those new Regal TourX's  (Vauxhall/Opel Insignia over there, in Australia it's replacing the Commodore.) if she moved up in her company because she likes station wagons and although she doesn't really need the space as much after I leave (we raise rabbits for shows and have wanted to raise them for meat) it'd still be a really nice roadtrip car that if she wanted to, her and her dog could probably sleep more comfortably in the back when they went on road trips.

Jeep Cherokee SRT - its an SUV, it will never go fast.  Instead it is just an SUV for people that drive horribly and cut you off.

I used to wonder why people bought them, but there are a few good use cases. A friend of mine owns one, and it's a hilarious riot to drive-- imagine four wheel drifting with glorious V8 noises in fresh powder. He bought it because he wanted something as close to his old C63 AMG as he could find, that could also tow his racecar. He had a diesel Cherokee and a 4runner before the SRT and was just bored with them.

 

If you only have space for one vehicle, and want to use it to go biking, tow racecars with, go skiing in, and commute to work....and you want something that makes V8 noises and accelerates nowNowNOW, it's hard to think of a better all-rounder. It's not fast, but it is quick. I'd totally rock one since it avoids the turbo reliability headaches of the Cayenne and X5Ms of the world, and sounds amazing with exhaust mods. Fuel economy sucks, but gas is cheap and smiles per mile is what it's all about anyway.

 

Regarding the crossover hate-- they are a godsend when you're trying to fit a kid into a center-mounted carseat and you have a bad back. That extra few inches of ride height is a (literal) backsaver. Not everyone needs or wants a Suburban or a Van, and station wagons are annoyingly rare (and, when they exist, are usually slooooooooooow). I miss my old Subaru Legacy but...goddamn that car couldn't get out of its own way if it tried.

 

Personally, I dislike the new M3/M4 (as an older M3 owner) principally because of the god awful sound it makes. Same goes for any of the non-Turbo/GTx Porsches. They just sound awful now, and it's a damn shame. Also the stance and showcar scenes. Why put awesome racecar parts on a car whose only purpose in life is to trend on instagram? Does not compute.

 

Oh, and the M2. I learned how to heel-toe and am good at it. Whose stupid idea was it to require you to disable all stability control systems to rev match by yourself? Not just talking out of my ass on that one, I bought the SS instead of the M2 because of that feature. If I'm buying a manual car, I'm buying a manual car, so I did. The M2 is pretty though.

The 718 Cayman/Boxster also sounds horrendous (and has a turbo).
