Have you ever been driving down your local highway, happen to look out the window and uttered the words: “That is the ugliest car I have ever seen. Who would drive that thing?” I know that this thought has entered my mind on numerous occasions. Car designs are rarely unique, and those designs which are distinctive are sometimes distinctly awful. That said, if you have ever visited the website for Car Talk, NPR’s wildly successful program about all things humerously automotive, you may have stumbled upon their ugly car vote.

The list is comprised of the Hummer H2, Scion xB, Pontiac Aztek, Honda Element, Chrysler PT Cruiser, BMW 5 Series, Chrysler 300, Chevy Avalanche, Subaru Baja and the Dodge Magnum. The current leader of the pack is the Pontiac Aztek, which I must admit on a personal note, is indeed a horribly ugly car. Or perhaps the word “car” is a misnomer, maybe “car, station-wagon, SUV thing” is more apt. “Click and Clack” hit the nail on the head when they said:

“That didn’t just get hit with an ugly stick; it came charging out of the ugly forest!”

Whatever your preference is towards the list, surly you know of at least one car that makes you wonder who designed it, and how it ever made it to production. This all begs the question: Who’s buying these things? While I must admit I know a few people who are proud-ish owners of some of the listed cars, I think they can be best summed up by a famous line in When Harry Met Sally: “Everybody thinks they have good taste and a sense of humor but they couldn’t possibly all have good taste.” I’m sure I’m a victim too.
