Design is an important component of automotive manufacturing and marketing. Thanks to the efforts of the designers, a magnificent machine is obtained, on which the gaze rests. However, sometimes a designer’s thought fails, then “come into the light” the ugliest cars. And let their iron horses be the most beautiful for their owners, the editors of the popular Bankrate website have their own opinions on the exterior of a particular model.
We present you the top 10 most ugly cars of 2015.
10. Lincoln MKT
This luxury crossover is produced by one of the Ford divisions - Lincoln. It looks like an expensive hearse car.
9. Fiat 500
The small Fiat 500 will give you a feeling of flattening, and impressionable people may be “rewarded” with claustrophobia.
8. GMC Terrain
This car in 2012 was already on the list of the ugliest cars according to Forbes. As one of Forbes experts, George Peterson (president and founder of Auto Pacific), said GMC Terrain is trying too hard to look like a powerful and durable traditional SUV. Its design is “moderately ugly”, although more suitable for 1990 than for the 21st century.
7. Kia Soul Electric
This electric car, which will travel up to 190 km on a single charge, was advertised by huge hamsters. And judging by the video, they were very pleased with the test drive. Whether an electric hatchback will be equally attractive to motorists-people - time will tell.
6. BMW i3
Another electric car, this time not Korean, but German, entered the rating of the ugliest cars. A futuristic minivan can drive 130–200 km before the battery runs out. He is taller than many other cars, while it is very wide for its length. A kind of proportions of shopping carts. However, due to the unusual and beautiful colors (hood and fifth door, painted in black, two-tone bumper), the car will be visible in the most dense stream of cars.
5. Scion xB
Toyota's Scion brand has never produced models with stunningly beautiful designs. And the first Scion cars repeatedly fell into the list of cars with an unattractive appearance. I did not escape this fate and the Scion xB minivan on the Toyota bB platform. Like some of the other cars on this list, the five-door “van on wheels” is desperate to attract buyers with an angular design. The disadvantage of this model is its low clearance. Good luck not to tear off the bumper with a curb.
4. Ford Flex
When you look at this square crossover, combining the properties of a minivan and an SUV, you immediately recall the Cyclops from the "People X". Or Jordi La Forge (more precisely, his "eye substitute" Visor) from Star Trek.
3. Nissan Juke
Who before Nissan designers would have thought that a good idea would be to create a car that looks like a slightly crushed frog? This car has such strange shapes that back in 2014, he was among the ten most unsuccessful in design cars according to Usatoday. Its headlights are in place of the fog lights, and parking lights are installed where the lights should be. And the taillights are similar in shape to clubs. Well, for someone, this unusual and catchy-looking “bug” is the most beautiful car in the world.
2. Honda Crosstour
Imagine that you are one of the most eccentric customers in the world. You do not want a four-door sedan, or a hatchback, or a crossover, or an SUV. No, you want to take a four-door sedan, attach a hatchback to it and raise the clearance so that there is impressive ground clearance, but not enough for an SUV. Then you only need a Honda Crosstour crossover. It is either too much, or too little of everything.
1. Smart Fortwo Electric Drive
In cramped, but not insulted - that's the first thing you can think about when inspecting this compact city electric car. Plus: on this you can easily find a parking spot. Less: the townspeople who really need a small and nimble car can save thousands of dollars and buy a scooter. And people who need a car that can be used both outside the city and in the metropolis can get twice as many cars for the same money as the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive.
