Most vehicles are good looking even if their looks become
dated as time passes. Car manufacturers take great care in creating designs
that will draw people in and make them want to own their car. That said, not
all cars are pleasing to the eye while some are downright atrocious looking and
bizarre. Such vehicles often make fellow drivers question the talent, skill,
and sanity, of their designers. Aesthetically unpleasant cars exist in great
number and aren't always "old" cars. Many new models can lay claim to
the title "Ugliest Car In The World."
The Thing By Volkswagen
Even without seeing this vehicle it's name should raise an
eyebrow or two. The name alone piques the curiosity of many if it doesn't raise
a red flag. This car is boxy and looks as though it was assembled by by a
kindergartner. The stock dull orange paint job only makes matters worse too.
Those who've ridden in The Thing will tell you it's like driving in a cardboard
box. The Thing is not only ugly but it's a rough ride to boot.

The Tatra T603
When people talk about Czechoslovakia they normally don't
talk about the cars that the country produces. The Tatra T603 is the one
exception to this rule however. The car sports a look that some say looks as
though someone put a 56 Chevy and an egg in a microwave together. While the car
is hard on the eyes it was well respected for it's reliability and superb
construction.

The Bond Bug
Though this car is often associated with Agent 007 it has
nothing to do with James Bond. Reliant purchased the Bond Motor Company in the
1970's and sought to build a "fun" car. The Bond Bug features 3
wheels a pointed nose or front end, and short stubby doors. This car looks to
be part boat and part car though it is not an amphibious automobile.

The Corbin Sparrow
The Corbin Sparrow isn't just ugly. It's also small, odd,
and very intimate. This car features two wheels up front and just one on it's
rear. This vehicle allows just one person, it's operator, to ride and can only
drive 150 miles per charge. This car is often called "The Jelly Bean"
colloquially because it resembles a giant jelly bean.
