Even More From The Pros
BusinessWeek wasn’t the only place to capitalize on people’s fascination for ugly cars. In fact, in the last year, many websites created lists of the “Top 10″ this and “Top 10″ that for sucky cars. As a primer for you to become experiences and intelligent readers in our field, you may take a look for educational purposes only (and if you want pictures, click on the link of the source – don’t be a lazy wuss):

The Opinions of The Professionals
The Wildly Sexy AMC Pacer
In the words of singing-woman Pink, let’s get this party started on a Saturday night. Of course it’s clearly not Saturday, but the VP debate was just on and Missy Sarah seems to be getting raving reviews – so we figured that the public might be misguided enough today to be positively inclined towards this new website and actually become fans for no reason.
Before we jump into showcasing the ugliest of ugly cars that this world has to offer (as far as our opinion goes), we thought it would be useful to start off with posting what other sources have deemed to be fugly rides. One of the more recent compiled lists of fugliness by an “authoritative source” came to us from BusinessWeek. Their information came from a survey by Hagerty Insurance whose customers are car collectors. Their picks clearly show that the customer base of that insurance company is 85+ year-old senior-citizens who have carried within them a hate for certain cars 20 or 30 years in the past that we today would not even think of. Yet apparently their opinion is good as gold since the results of the survey made it into a major publication. This just goes to show that our opinions will be equally authoritative – yet hopefully more in-touch with the current times.
Without further ado, their selections were the following (they clearly be hatin’ on the Chevy’s and AMC’s):
