Same here. Now I have to admit it's kinda ugly objectively, the proportions and volumes... But beautiful subjectively. Ugly beautiful. It's one of my favourite cars ever. I think it looks amazing and unique.
The Fiat Multipla (not Multiplay) was a car made by Fiat. Fiat are Italian, not French.
Allard P2 Safari actually looks cool and definitely unique.
I personally like the 360. it's got mini & beetle vibes without really looking like either and still looks cool.

The Allard is so weird that it's almost cute. I remember seeing mid-60's Fiat Multipla's in Rome when I was a teenager and back then it was quite handsome compared to the modern version. Fiat went for the maximum passenger capacity and they were used as taxis where the driver could fit in five passengers. The 1958 Lincoln must have been the inspiration for the Citroen AMI. BMW has been building some ugly grilles lately...I understand that the enlargement was a demand from the Chinese market. That SIN car is a sin.
@pcno2832

The strangest thing about the Allard was the extreme forward location of the front wheels. I wonder what kind of suspension it had; before the 1930s, they located the wheels that way so the rigid front axle wouldn't hit the engine.

No...many things are objectively ugly. And anyone who likes them should not be trusted.
The Mitsuoka Galue is a series of luxury cars, BASED on mainstream Japanese automobiles, customized by Mitsuoka to recall British and American cars, now in its second generation. THEY ARE STILL IN PRODUCTION. IMO, there was NO intention for anything BUT AN ASIAN MARKET. Again, they are a flattery to US & British design cues !!!
Kind of weird how the voice will pronounce some of the car names correctly, then a few seconds later say them incorrectly. Mutipla.Multiplay, Alfa Romeo/Romio. The marketing for the Subaru 360 was brilliant, imported by Malcolm Bricklin. They were killed off when Consumer Reports rated the car "not acceptable".

I have changed my mind on the ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA. I think it is swell. I think it is a supersonic 1989 Volvo 740. (1) Sleek anti-Bentley, or anti-Jaguar. (2) Big Engine, Big Interior, Big Trunk, Minature, regal center, faux radiator part of grill. (3) Gobbledygook, fad, digital instrumentation but still a selling point, & differentiator. (4) NO. It is not an MG, Triumph, or Lotus. Lagonda is something you would NOT throw into a curve. (5) Lord of the Manor, P-mpin' ride. Very Stately. Face it, you would get POSITIVE notice (or envy). Bee-atch to park.

Hey, i'm curious which cars you love.
Ugly is a subjective term.. but there's no subjectivity to the hideousness of the Pontiac Aztek lol
Completely disagree with your choice of Buick Skylark, it looks good especially in coupe form
Without watching, I'll wager the Aztec will included.
Nothing wrong with Subaru 360, besides VW cues.
4:32 Even the French? The Multipla is Italian...😊
9:18 I never saw the '92 Skylark as particularly offensive or even that unusual for a 1990s car. The pointed nose was kind of a throwback to the 1930s and uncharacteristic of post-war Buicks, but it didn't bother me. The proportions of the car were no more awkward than those of other modern cars, most of which are a bit stubby now that powertrains can be shoehorned sideways into the engine compartments. The Aztec is far more notable than the Skylark, and in all the wrong ways.
@wintersbattleofbands1144

The 4 door Skylark comes off better, and the Aztek isn't at all unattractive by today's standards. It was just unusual for its time.

Edsel was a make of car and a new car making division introduced by the Ford Motor Company on September 4, 1957. The company called that day, "E-Day." It was named after Henry Ford's son, Edsel Ford. The Edsel was also one of the biggest failures in history.
Aesthetics are at the eyes of the beholders.... I am surprised that PT cruiser is not here... but this is based on my eyes!
I think the P2 looked pretty good.
In contrast to Cadilliac Cimarron, the closely related Holden Camira J car sold well in Australia. Its main issues were: build quality, then changing from leaded to unleaded petrol (downgrade from multi-point to single-point fuel injection in 1986 models).
subaru 360 is just a smaller and cuter Beetle
The 1976 Aston Martin Lagonda was PROBABLY a response to the Maserati Quattroporte. The Design is not Timeless, not Horrible either. Looks like it took some American or Mercedes design cues.
Oh you know it's ugly when the French actually think it's ugly lol... on a side note I hate that BMW grill it absolutely doesn't belong on an electric vehicle. I am dying laughing at the descriptions of some of these 😅
Some video covered the Pontiac Aztec's in-depth ORIGINAL INTENT. It was TO BE a beefy hp, off-road capable, expanded interior (sedan, station wagon hybrid) Chevy Nova like vehicle for Pontiac. Instead, it became this meat cleaver angled, mild minivan / multipurpose vehicle jump in direction. And indeed UGLY.
Some exotic cars made by companies competing with Ferrari and Lamborghini are about as ugly as a dirt road.

The electronics and the displays were extremely unreliable. They certainly are beautiful cars especially the Mark II which had more rounded wings and better interior. Some even had normal analogue dials. Don't ever think of driving one into a multi-storey car park . You'll get stuck
It's not "design", it's "styling". Calling it design is an insult to the engineers who made the car work.
Greetings from Tucson, Arizona USofA. The LaGonda was the most expensive car of it's time. I think the 360 resembles the original Fiat 500.
Half of these are genuinely beautiful cars
There are several car designs which are even uglier. - Nissan Juke (a sick joke) - AMC Pacer - AMC Gremlin - Citroen 2CV
I never found the Aztec ugly, not even today. It was the Cybertruck of its time.
Ugly doesn't begin to describe the most recent cars offered. For the past decade, Infiniti went from quirky, yet nice styling to super-mega-fugly! The same, unfortunately, is true with Lexus. I remember when the LS400 was first intro'd back in the early 1990s. The current Lexus models look so fugly, I'd be embarrassed to be seen next to one. The same goes for Infinity. I used to love BMW. Both BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now, it's just Mercedes-Benz. BMW's front end looks so hideous, I don't know what designers were thinking when they enlarged the grille on some models, but OMFG! It's not just Japanese and Deutsch vehicles, either.
The Beemer grill was upsized to sell in China. They want big grills to advertise their wealth. Most of these cars aren’t particularly ugly. Except for the Pontiac Aztec and the Fiat Mulitpla. Oh, and the Sin.

If I was in charge of hiring car designers, my test would be to draw a redesigned Pontiac Aztek that takes conspicuous cues from the original, but is somehow attractive.
I freaking love the Allard, that thing is fantastic. Like in Harold and Maude when he turns the E-Type into a hearse. The Subaru is adorable. Like a seriously ugly baby. I agree the rest are all visually offensive even if some are cool.
You forgot the Ford stable, especially the Mustang and all the Mitsubishis. The Chrysler range is also repulsive. Also, electric cars ARE NOT, as claimed in the BMW I7 clip, environmentally responsible, the energy and environmental damage caused just by making the battery alone, no less the rest of the vehicle, is far greater than that caused my large diesel V8 powered Landcruiser four wheel drive and its fuel consumption during its expected 30 or more year lifespan.
Buick Skylark, when you absolutely positively don't want pedestrians to stand up anymore!
O Multipla é feio, mas é único na sua essência.
The Mitsuoka looks like a cheap Rolls Royce copy from the front, and like a Cadillac knock-off from the rear. It might have looked quite good if they had made some small changes, especially at the front. Same goes for the Allard - if they had removed the hood, and rearranged all the front lights a little, it could've looked quite good.
The Aztek always reminded me of an Aphid. You know, the bug that eats your rose bushes.
bmw went from Cool Kidneys to Podgy Pigsnout in less than a decade...the crap they present these days makes even the chris bangle era cars look sleek and elegant
What's wrong with the Allard ? It was a dam sight better looking than the similar dated Edsel
That Alfa is beautifull with its Bulldog - like snout and stance ! Any idea why they are so expensive today ?
God, you shouldn't have started with the Mitsuoka. I'm on board with the rest of the vid, but while I hate cheap copies, the Mitsuokas are actually intriguing.
Subaru 360, not ugly at all. Actually reminds me of that Chinese car that is called 'cat' and tries to look 'cute' and even succeeds. he Allard P2 Is a fantastic looking vehicle. It might have looked better without the wood, but it adds character. The Ami isn't ugly, it's quirky, that is all. The BMW i7 is not ugly at all either, just has a unbalanced, too imposing front - still not actually ugly. just not pretty or elegant. Calling the Lagonda ugly is really nonsense. It looks 'different', but is far from ugly. And calling the Alfa ugly is really out of place too. It doesn't look 'genuinely' pretty, it almost looks like a factory aftermarket bodykit, but ugly? no. The only 'ugly' cars in this list are the first, the mitsuoka. It's not neccesarily very ugly though, it's rather uncomfortably odd and weird looking. But, ugly will still fit. That same goes for the FIAT Multipla. Oddly enoguh, it just needed to have more rectangular tail lights and the hood flowing into the windscreen, with 'normal' headlights and it would have been fine. But yes, the Multipla definitely fits the ugly card. The Mantis M70 indeed fits the ugly bill too. The Skylark indeed is ugly. So does the Aztec. And yes, the S1 is hideous.
