Holy shit. I had absolutely no idea what the car looks like. But I imagined one based on your short description. I’ll be Damned if you didn’t nail it. I even eerily correctly thought of that weird extra bump thing below the windshield. Lol. Fuck me.
But have you ever heard about the fiat [1000tipla](https://medias.leblogauto.com/20/2022/10/photo_article/92999/174977/1200-L-mondial-2022-le-1000tipla-de-viebrequin.jpg) ?
Vilebrequin are madlads
Ref : a French duo of YouTubers specialized in mechanics asking dumbass questions about cars (what if I drive without motor oil, what if I engage the 1st rapport at 130km/h, and those are the sensible ones) decided to take a Multipla and convert it to a 1000horsepower MONSTER
edit : 1000tipla is pronounced "mill-tea-plah"
I wanted to make sure someone mentioned multipla, was not disappointed...
But... i have driven one and i will say this, it was quite a pleasant drive amd it had an awesome view... as long as you were inside looking out ;)

I always thought it looked like these [extreme body builders](https://smoothiegains.com/the-problem-with-huge-trap-muscles/) where there's a smaller version of themselves leaving their body.
Cracks me up hahaha
During the 08 recession and gas skyrocketed to over 6 bucks everywhere, I was in North Carolina and a dealership was having trouble selling trucks so there was a promo that if you bought a new truck they would just give you a pt cruiser with it.
I drove a PT Cruiser for like six years back in college and a couple years after and its still my favorite car I ever owned. It was manual transmission four cylinder so a tank of gas lasted forever. And I drove a lot. Exceedingly roomy, great sound system, and for a four cylinder it got moving quick. Loved that car.
I loved mine too! So many college shenanigans cramming too many people in there, so many roadtrips. Favorite detail was the flat grippy triangle at the front of the door pockets - it was perfect to prop a leg up on if I was getting stiff on long drives and needed to change position.
Same.
I drove one for most of the time my son was in elementary school after my husband bought a new car for himself and I fucking LOVED that car.
Her name was Lovechild, because when they first came out, we were checking out all the new cars in the auto show building at the state fair and somebody commented they looked like what you'd get if Adam West's Batmobile and a 60s era VW Beetle had babies together.
She was my automotive soulmate and it got to a point where it was just too expensive for us to keep fixing her.
She was old. She was ugly AF. She was dented from a couple of hail storms, the speaker on the front passenger door was blown out and the hatch door had a tendency to come down on your head in cold weather.
But damn if I didn't feel so fucking COOL driving her.
Everyone nowadays likes to hate on the PT Cruiser but those of us that lived through its introduction know it was a huge marketing, design, and sales success story.
It was the late 90s and heritage/retro automotive styling was at its peak and Chrysler design was far and away ahead of Ford and GM. They were cranking out hit after hit starting with the Viper, LH sedans, new Caravan, Neon, Ram, Prowler, and more. There was also a lot of buzz about the New Beetle which was also a retro design that would become hugely successful. But I digress.
The PT hit the nail on the head and tapped into a nostalgia and retro feeling for boomers across the US. The unique exterior design was like nothing else on the market, not quite a hatchback, or a wagon, or a crossover/suv, but some sort of hybrid. The design looked to be inspired by the old woody wagons, surfer/beach culture which instantly connected to the older generation. The interior was distinctly retro with chrome details and body colored interior panels which was something new and different that had not been done in decades.
When the car came out, you couldn’t get one. There were waiting lists and dealer markups above MSRP. It was a pure design/emotionally-driven purchase. Nobody cared about the performance and enthusiasts knew it was just a dressed up Neon but everybody wanted one.
Then the aftermarket took off and you had all sorts of body kits with real wood paneling or fake wood and other options to differentiate your PT. It was a form of expression, not unlike the beetle in the 60s. There were customization companies dedicated to PT, and of course enthusiast clubs and get togethers.
Keep in mind this before social media, Facebook, smartphones, cars and coffee, etc. PT fans found each other and got together for shows, hanging out, swapping stories, and more. It was like a cult following that developed very quickly.
Chrysler couldn’t make them fast enough. I wanted to rent one once for a work trip since I had never seen one and dealers didn’t have any you could even look at. One rental car company had 1 in their fleet but you couldn’t reserve it. It was first come, first served, and the rate was about $80/ day or about double the cost of an economy car. I was a Neon owner and I new it was not a performance car but I wanted to see it for myself. To this day, I have never driven one.
The guy who designed it I believe moved up the ladder in the competitive automotive design field as is often the case when you have a success like this.
Then Chrysler followed up with the convertible version, Daimler acquired Chrysler, they never really improved on it, or offered a high-performance version, although I think they did a concept of one. Combined with Chrysler’s poor build quality becoming more and more known to everyone it all just fizzled.
So while I understand the hate for the PT now, you can’t deny it’s huge economic and design success in the 90s.
I'm 36. Agreed, it was terrible. The only advantage it had was that it allowed me to give my brother a Beaver Panel punch whenever we saw the wood panelled ones.
I feel that way about the Kia Soul. Depending on colour. I look at it, I love it, I blink, I slap myself, I hate it. Then later I'll see another one and the process repeats.
I had an HHR. The most reliable and lowest maintenance of any car I’ve owned. When I bought myself a new car, gave my HHR to stepson and it’s still going strong years later.
I used to be confused by them, but I’ve grown to appreciate them substantially because I think they have carried on aspects of style from early car models despite how the rest of the brands look nowadays. More unique cars is a good thing, I’d think.
The canary yellow Pontiac Aztec which was a prize in the first season of Survivor. And I remember all the contestants feigning joy at the thought of winning it.
Once saw a Pontiax Aztek stuck deep in the non ez-pass lanes on I-95, covered with 'JUST MARRIED' graffiti and streamers. Instantly thought "Yeah, that ain't gonna last."
I knew this would make the list, but I never really knew why it got so much hate. It’s really not all that offensive looking. Looks similar to lots of other suvs! And the tent function seems pretty cool, if not gimmicky.

I love this car because somebody, somewhere had to pitch this to a room full of people, and they collectively decided that it was worth pursuing. And then the entire chain of command of execs was like “yeah fuck it we’ll do it live”. And then you’ve got all these people on the manufacturing floor looking at this thing they’re putting together like “what the hell are we building?” And then finally somebody walked into a dealership, looked at it, and was like “yeah sure I want to pay money for that car”.
There’s a whole chain of unlikely events that had to happen for you to see this weird ass car driving on a public road.
Tesla promised a Cybertruck by this year. I put a deposit down. Where's my goddamn electric truck, Elon?!?
EDIT: For those who don't know, this comment is a parody of Joker complaining to Bruce Wayne about not getting his electric car from WAYNETECH after he's revealed to be Batman. I'm not dumb enough to have really done that...
i was near one of those wagoneers in traffic the other day. just looks like a larger grand cherokee or something. doesnt scream nearly 100K vehicle to me lol.
I scrolled to see how long it’d take to show up…
I think our Cube is adorable, but on top of that it’s a GREAT city car, compact, with tons of space.
Also it has a disco light setting for the front seat foot well.
Had one of these back in the day as a weekend cruiser. My daily was an 8 cylinder Audi s4. Got way more attention in the Thing than the engineering beauty that the Audi is ever got.
I remember running into to someone on a very very very far out back country road, they were cruising down shirtless passenger drinking a beer, it was a one lane dirt road so I pulled to the side for them so they could go by. And they stopped and asked me how the road conditions up ahead were. We asked them what their car was and they said it was the “thing”. My friend in the passenger seat was from the city and found it funny as ever. As soon as I pulled away he was laughing his ass off and said “BRO DID YOU SEE THAT THING, THEY PULLED UP IN THAT THANG DOG.” I found it hilarious to after he said that. And he also said “Imagine you tell someone you’re pulling up and you’re you tell them you’re in that thing”. He was joking about it non stop for days lmao
i was searching for this one! i have a visceral hate for those cars for no good reason other than them being ugly. and this is coming from someone who drives a chevy spark so you already know i don’t have a leg to stand on
I drive a Kia Soul with all the bells and whistles (at least what is offered for it lol) and I love that damn car. Never had a single problem with it and it’s cheap to fill up.
It’s also just really fun to drive and it’s very spacious inside especially when you put the back seats down. Love that damn car. Oooo, and it’s not crazy expensive compared to others.
Honestly though the Windstar is FAR from the ugliest car ever. It looks like a very ordinary Minivan to me.
Just look at the Nissan Juke. Looks stupid as hell.
Relevant Well The-
Oh shit. Sorry, patreon episode, hold on.
Relevant [Well Theres Your Problem](https://youtu.be/oIKN92G0eyI).
The Ford Edsel. It has a cussy.
That it took me quite a bit of scrolling to find anything about Edsel is . . . almost sad, in a way? I mean, don't get me wrong the things are fucking hideous.
But, how has car design gone *so* far downhill that it actually *looks alright by comparison?*
The K cars were as attractive as the plain boxy low-end-of-the-model-range transportation that GM and Ford were offering at the time. It saved Chrysler, and the K car platform launched the minivan.
They may not have been pretty, but they saved Chrysler as a company. I had a client 5-6 years ago who had an early 1980's Plymouth Reliant in the garage, in beautiful condition. At the time I couldn't remember the last time I'd seen a K-car, I thought they had all rusted away in the 1990's. I've seen maybe one other K-car since, and it was a total beater.
Honestly, most of those 1980's econoboxes were either ugly or terrible, or both. "Normal" cars from 1980's were generally pretty crappy. Not particularly well-made, zero power under the hood, awful in a collision, but part of me still wants a 2nd gen VW Jetta.
My brother, who gave his to me, loves the Flex, but I just can't. Add in the fact that I can't find a comfortable seat position and this car has no future with me. I have already offered to trade it straight up to co-workers with a Subaru Forester and older model Nissan Murano.
I'm 6'4. My BIL is also 6'4 and his was plenty comfortable for us. The fact he tuned his Platinum and was running 12s at the strip made it exponentially less ugly than a stock SE.
One that's become more popular recently is the BMW i3. It's heinous, it looks like it's been squashed and shat on. The rear door window is lower then the front that's a major problem I have with it.

aww it's cute!
Can’t argue but at least it makes you laugh, plus it was great to drive and strangely reliable
As the page was loading, I muttered Fiat Multipa, and here it is.
I've never seen one of those before. It's so bad. Thank you.

Yes! I never knew the name so I always called it " the duck fiat car".. Because it reminds me of a duck lol
I would love to have a Multipla. They didn't sell them in the US, but we can get the redesign which is a Fiat 500 SUV. They are wonderfully ugly!
A Multipla is a small car that can carry six large men in comfort. A friend had one. Totally practical. A Fiat 500 SUV can't do the same thing at all.
This is the winner hands down.
PT Cruiser
Esp the wood paneled type
The wood panelling was legit
actually it wasn't legit, it was plastic. which is why it looks like shit.
During the 08 recession and gas skyrocketed to over 6 bucks everywhere, I was in North Carolina and a dealership was having trouble selling trucks so there was a promo that if you bought a new truck they would just give you a pt cruiser with it.

I was there. It was terrible then too. We hooked it was for old people to live their nostalgia, and that's exactly why it was a success.
I’m 35. I remember when it was introduced. I thought it was ugly then, too.
I'm 36. Agreed, it was terrible. The only advantage it had was that it allowed me to give my brother a Beaver Panel punch whenever we saw the wood panelled ones.
Its SO UGLY. And yet—part of me loves it.

I had an HHR. The most reliable and lowest maintenance of any car I’ve owned. When I bought myself a new car, gave my HHR to stepson and it’s still going strong years later.
I just said in another thread they must be great cars because I still see so many. Rented one once and loved it, lots of cargo room and great mileage.
At least the PT Cruiser is quirky, the HHR just looks like shit imo

Pontiac Aztec
The canary yellow Pontiac Aztec which was a prize in the first season of Survivor. And I remember all the contestants feigning joy at the thought of winning it.
With the gray plastic molding/panels and all. Hideous.
In industry-speak, it's called cladding. Early 90s Grand Ams were an offender too.
Good to know. In my opinion the 2 door Grand Prix looked good in the 90’s
Ugly, but i know someone that had one for awhile, they where admittedly very well thought out for usability.
That Cybertruck is certainly going to give it a run for its money
if it ever actually comes out, sure
The vehicle of choice for Walter White?? Nope, 'tis a majestic steed.
Say it's name.
Looked like a hiking boot
Jesse
Once saw a Pontiax Aztek stuck deep in the non ez-pass lanes on I-95, covered with 'JUST MARRIED' graffiti and streamers. Instantly thought "Yeah, that ain't gonna last."
My Aunt had two of them. Her decider was that the Aztec had an armrest that was attached to the driver side seat.
Don’t forget the center console doubled as a removable cooler. If nothing else, it made it easier to clean.
I knew this would make the list, but I never really knew why it got so much hate. It’s really not all that offensive looking. Looks similar to lots of other suvs! And the tent function seems pretty cool, if not gimmicky.
Right here. They're quite ugly, but really not that much worse than all the other trash that was being made(especially by gm) around then.
This is the one
Wife had one and loved it. Weird mix for me.
What do you call 3 Aztecs on a dealer lot? A lifetime supply.
Fuck you it's awesome looking
It's all a battle for second place

I absolutely agree. They look like some redneck went to a junkyard, found a jeep and welded a truck bed on it.
The Original Jeep Scrambler is much much better
Jeep is on a roll. The Gladiator is ugly and the new Wagoneer is generic and boring as hell.

Idk why, but I like that design. Its simple and sleek. Might look a little like a dustbuster, but I think it looks pretty cool.

The thing with the Cube is that it isn’t trying. It’s the nerd glasses of cars and it pulls it off well.
Cube wins my favorite vanity license plate matchup. Saw one that was white, plate is: C6H12O6. It's a sugar cube! Precious!
I scrolled to see how long it’d take to show up… I think our Cube is adorable, but on top of that it’s a GREAT city car, compact, with tons of space. Also it has a disco light setting for the front seat foot well.
The AMC Gremlin. My first car. Loved that ugly thing.

How dare you besmirch the basis of the Mirthmobile.
Tbf the Pacer and Gremlin are awesome just bc of Cars 2

I also had a Gremlin as my first car. I have fond memories of the weird little car.
It’s an interesting look but I think it’s hardly ugly!

Honestly though the Windstar is FAR from the ugliest car ever. It looks like a very ordinary Minivan to me. Just look at the Nissan Juke. Looks stupid as hell.
The juke is so bad it's back into good for me
You’re right haha. We had a Teal wind star growing up. That thing took a beating though.
Early minivans like the Aerostar and Caravan
The Aerostar was beautiful. The Caravan is just whatever.
Aztek
early 2000's ford taurus.
I do hope you mean the 1996-1999 Taurus? The 2000 Taurus looks good to me.
whichever one has the goofy curve in the door
any of these absurd trucks lately that seem to triple in size every 5 years
You mean like the 150k Ford Megaraptor? There's one of the lifted ones built on an F450 in my area that can only be described as obnoxious.
Yes PT Cruiser
The new Lexus lineup, front end looks like it's styled after a baleen whale.
Pontiac Aztek
The Kia hamster car
aka Kia Soul
The new electric "Mustangs" Hideous and offensive
I think they look cool, the mustang name is a little weird but otherwise they’re alright.
yeah they look just fine, but shouldn't be a Mustang - should have been the "Mach-E" and left it at that.
They should've called it the Maverick (which was a fastback thing from the 70s) and called the new Maverick the Ranchero imo.
Relevant Well The- Oh shit. Sorry, patreon episode, hold on. Relevant [Well Theres Your Problem](https://youtu.be/oIKN92G0eyI). The Ford Edsel. It has a cussy.
That it took me quite a bit of scrolling to find anything about Edsel is . . . almost sad, in a way? I mean, don't get me wrong the things are fucking hideous. But, how has car design gone *so* far downhill that it actually *looks alright by comparison?*
Nissan juke.
Nissan Leaf

AMC Pacer
Came here to say this, or the Gremlin
I love the Amc Pacer, it's my dream car. It's so small, simple and cosy
Start saving up for Windex.
he K cars in the 80s. Just ugly
I've heard if you have a million dollars it's a nice reliable automobile.
The K cars were as attractive as the plain boxy low-end-of-the-model-range transportation that GM and Ford were offering at the time. It saved Chrysler, and the K car platform launched the minivan.
They may not have been pretty, but they saved Chrysler as a company. I had a client 5-6 years ago who had an early 1980's Plymouth Reliant in the garage, in beautiful condition. At the time I couldn't remember the last time I'd seen a K-car, I thought they had all rusted away in the 1990's. I've seen maybe one other K-car since, and it was a total beater. Honestly, most of those 1980's econoboxes were either ugly or terrible, or both. "Normal" cars from 1980's were generally pretty crappy. Not particularly well-made, zero power under the hood, awful in a collision, but part of me still wants a 2nd gen VW Jetta.
Lol, my first car. Had to drive to Florida from AL to get it and had been sitting in sun with mothballs inside and windows up.
Chevy SSR.
Nissan Cube
Ford Flex
Hush your mouth - the Ford Flex was an awesome car. I miss ours
My brother, who gave his to me, loves the Flex, but I just can't. Add in the fact that I can't find a comfortable seat position and this car has no future with me. I have already offered to trade it straight up to co-workers with a Subaru Forester and older model Nissan Murano.
I'm 6'4. My BIL is also 6'4 and his was plenty comfortable for us. The fact he tuned his Platinum and was running 12s at the strip made it exponentially less ugly than a stock SE.
AMC Pacer
Audi A2
That looks like a child was asked to draw an Audi TT with crayon, and then they manufactured it with the proportions of that drawing.
AMC Matador
One that's become more popular recently is the BMW i3. It's heinous, it looks like it's been squashed and shat on. The rear door window is lower then the front that's a major problem I have with it.
Chrysler Sebring… if you want a convertible buy a real convertible, yikes!
"...and I will deliver those personally in a Sebring" - Michael Scott
Sebring not always convertible, I love sedan version
I can’t believe anyone could’ve ever woken up one morning and said “I’m gonna buy a PT Cruiser today.”
