I like those ugly French cars.

Some of these cars are on the "Cool Wall", or the part of the "Not Cool" wall.

I wonder if they'd have sold any 'Family Truckster's if they had called them SUV's? ;->

Funny how opinions can differ over what's beautiful and what's ugly. I love those old Citroens. You see them all over Europe - I think they look really classy. Couldn't agree more, though, about the Pacer and the Gremlin. I'd add pretty much anything out of the Big 3 in the late 70s/early 80s. Blech.

It might not be the pretties car in town, but it is cool. I think the K-car needs to be on this list.

But the 2 CV is so much fun! Kinda the French Mini. The SM was quite the car. Self leveling fluid suspension, Maserati engine, all the high end Euro comforts.

Gremlin
Pacer
ANY SUV
ANY Russian car
Aztec
Chrysler X cars

The egineering my be very advacnced for its time, but couldn't they have wrapped it up in a better looking desing.

The desing is god-awful ugly to me. That funny bulb of a cockpit stuck on top of that loooong nose. Not to mention the stubby rear end

Come on now...African/Indian cars are uglier.

Lada Niva - first ever 4x4 SUV. It's pretty badass.
