Let&rsquo;s look into some of the &ldquo;ugliest&rdquo; cars out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sebring-Vanguard CitiCar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern electric cars usually turn heads with their stylish design.

The Sebring-Vanguard CitiCar has a horsepower range of 2.5 to 6 and can only go as fast as 30 to 50 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reliant Robin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Reliant Robin is a three-wheeled car manufactured by the Reliant Motor Company in 1973. It was launched as the most practical small car in Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1977-reliant-robin-850-green-wikimedia-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"1977 reliant robin 850 green wikimedia\" class=\"wp-image-99257\" style=\"width:1024px;height:684px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1977-reliant-robin-850-green-wikimedia-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1977-reliant-robin-850-green-wikimedia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1977-reliant-robin-850-green-wikimedia-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1977-reliant-robin-850-green-wikimedia-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1977-reliant-robin-850-green-wikimedia-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1977-reliant-robin-850-green-wikimedia-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1977-reliant-robin-850-green-wikimedia-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1977-reliant-robin-850-green-wikimedia.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:1977_Reliant_Robin_850_(14136529926).jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Wikimedia\">Wikimedia<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The model&rsquo;s narrow body and wedge-like profile made it look unconventional. The peculiar structure makes sense because it only has one wheel at the front. While it&rsquo;s definitely unique, the setup also made the Reliant Robin prone to tripping or rolling in certain conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although some consider the Reliant Robin&rsquo;s design visually unappealing, there&rsquo;s no denying that this model was popular during its time. This is due to the fact that drivers at that time only needed a motorcycle license to drive it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you&rsquo;d be charged less taxes if you bought a Reliant Robin than a four-wheeled car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chevrolet HHR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people find the <a href=\"https:\/\/carparts.com\/chevrolet\/hhr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"HHR\">HHR<\/a> unattractive because of its awkward and unbalanced proportions. First sold in 2006, this retro-styled wagon was meant to pay tribute to the 1949 Suburban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"652\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2010-chevrolet-hhr-wikimedia-1024x652.jpg\" alt=\"2010 chevrolet hhr wikimedia\" class=\"wp-image-99250\" style=\"width:1024px;height:652px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2010-chevrolet-hhr-wikimedia-1024x652.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2010-chevrolet-hhr-wikimedia-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2010-chevrolet-hhr-wikimedia-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2010-chevrolet-hhr-wikimedia-1536x978.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2010-chevrolet-hhr-wikimedia-150x95.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2010-chevrolet-hhr-wikimedia.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:2010_Chevrolet_HHR_LS,_front_left,_09-09-2023.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Wikimedia\">Wikimedia<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if this model is considered unattractive to many, it&rsquo;s not without positive attributes. For example, the Chevrolet HHR offers a spacious interior, making it perfect for families who need ample space for passengers. It also has decent fuel economy, which is great for long trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the production of the Chevrolet HHR was discontinued in 2011 because of poor sales. This highlights the influence visual appeal can have on consumers&rsquo; vehicle choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fiat Multipla<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next on our list is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/fiat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Fiat\">Fiat<\/a> Multipla. This six-seater car has a quirky exterior. If you look at the Multipla from the front angle, you&rsquo;ll immediately notice its short hood and a peculiar bulge at the base of its windshield. The Multipla&rsquo;s windows also look quite weird and out of proportion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2002-fiat-multipla-wikimedia-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"2002 fiat multipla wikimedia\" class=\"wp-image-99251\" style=\"width:1024px;height:576px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2002-fiat-multipla-wikimedia-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2002-fiat-multipla-wikimedia-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2002-fiat-multipla-wikimedia-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2002-fiat-multipla-wikimedia-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2002-fiat-multipla-wikimedia-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2002-fiat-multipla-wikimedia.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Fiat_Multipla_(2002)_(29392161886).jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Wikimedia\">Wikimedia<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its quirky appearance, what&rsquo;s interesting about his model is its three front seats. It also has three seats in the rear, thanks to its wide stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fiat Multipla was never sold in the US, so spotting one on the road is a stroke of luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nissan Cube<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For many, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/nissan\/cube\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Nissan Cube\">Nissan Cube<\/a> literally looks like a cube with wheels. Some say it&rsquo;s as if the designer used the square tool in Microsoft Paint to conceptualize its design. Clearly, Nissan was trying to design something unique. However, the design didn&rsquo;t come out appealing to many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nissan-cube-wikimedia-1024x648.jpg\" alt=\"nissan cube wikimedia\" class=\"wp-image-99252\" style=\"width:1024px;height:648px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nissan-cube-wikimedia-1024x648.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nissan-cube-wikimedia-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nissan-cube-wikimedia-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nissan-cube-wikimedia-1536x971.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nissan-cube-wikimedia-150x95.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nissan-cube-wikimedia.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Nissan_Cube_(Z12)_%E2%80%93_Frontansicht,_25._August_2013,_D%C3%BCsseldorf.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Wikimedia\">Wikimedia<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Nissan Cube isn&rsquo;t attractive to many, some people still love it. Its spacious interior and good fuel economy make it a good car regardless of how it looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nissan S-Cargo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The name S-Cargo is a play on the French word &ldquo;escargot,&rdquo; which means snail. Indeed, this model has a snail-like design. It was manufactured by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/nissan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Nissan\">Nissan<\/a> Pike Factory, a division specializing in unique designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nissan-s-cargo-white-wikimedia-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"nissan s cargo white wikimedia\" class=\"wp-image-99253\" style=\"width:1024px;height:688px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nissan-s-cargo-white-wikimedia-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nissan-s-cargo-white-wikimedia-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nissan-s-cargo-white-wikimedia-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nissan-s-cargo-white-wikimedia-150x101.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nissan-s-cargo-white-wikimedia.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Nissan_S-Cargo_001.JPG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Wikimedia\">Wikimedia<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The S-Cargo&rsquo;s weird shape is primarily due to its high, sloping roof. It&rsquo;s perfect for those who are looking for a small delivery vehicle with ample storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were about 8,000 units of S-Cargo produced. It was launched in 1989 and was around for only two model years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PT Cruiser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The PT Cruiser&rsquo;s quirky shape and design is a turn-off for many. Chrysler&rsquo;s attempt to mix the elements of a classic hot rod with a modern car wasn&rsquo;t really a success. It got even worse when Chrysler decided to come out with a two-door convertible variant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"722\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2006-chrysler-pt-street-cruiser-route-66-edition-wikimedia-1024x722.jpg\" alt=\"2006 chrysler pt street cruiser route 66 edition wikimedia\" class=\"wp-image-99254\" style=\"width:1024px;height:722px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2006-chrysler-pt-street-cruiser-route-66-edition-wikimedia-1024x722.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2006-chrysler-pt-street-cruiser-route-66-edition-wikimedia-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2006-chrysler-pt-street-cruiser-route-66-edition-wikimedia-768x541.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2006-chrysler-pt-street-cruiser-route-66-edition-wikimedia-1536x1082.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2006-chrysler-pt-street-cruiser-route-66-edition-wikimedia-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2006-chrysler-pt-street-cruiser-route-66-edition-wikimedia.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:2006_Chrysler_PT_Street_Cruiser_Route_66_Edition,_front_left,_07-12-2023.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Wikimedia\">Wikimedia<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But even if this model is unappealing to many, it&rsquo;s surprisingly a popular car. Chrysler sold more than 132,000 units of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/chrysler\/pt-cruiser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"PT Cruiser\">PT Cruiser<\/a> when it launched in 2005.

However, there is one that defies expectations: the Aston Martin Lagonda. This full-size luxury four-door saloon was produced from 1974 to 1990, with only 645 produced. The futuristic interior appealed to some, but others found the boxy exterior odd-looking from every angle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s even a Shooting Break version that basically just looks like the original model but with a longer, stretched-out body.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lincoln MKT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At first glance, the Lincoln MKT can be hard to take in. Its weird proportions and big nose make it look strange, especially with the huge split-waterfall grille. This three-row luxury crossover was originally based on the boxy Ford Flex, but most Flex fans found the MKT&rsquo;s softer lines and boat-tail butt too unorthodox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its odd appearance, however, the Lincoln MKT offered amazing ride comfort. Thick laminated windows, sound-deadening technology, and aerodynamic tuning helped make the interior nice and quiet, even at high speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pontiac Aztek<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Pontiac Aztek first hit showrooms, reviews weren&rsquo;t all that promising. Most critics focused on the polarizing design of the Aztek, which had a two-tier front fascia and a tiny short hood. Its odd proportions stood out too much, but later models featured tents, air mattresses, and other camping features that won some people over.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the Aztek has an impressive cult following, thanks to its appearance in the popular TV series &ldquo;Breaking Bad.&rdquo; The main character, Walter White, drives a rundown Pontiac Aztek, which symbolizes his underachiever status.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 5<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>The word &ldquo;ugly&rdquo; is subjective.
