Well the honda element would look ok with some green camouflage and maybe a top mounted machine gun.

 

The AMC Pacer takes the cake except for any Europeans that may have driven a Citroen Duck!

 

I think the Element is pretty cool..... maybe the cool interior blinds my exterior vision??

Odly enough I really detest the Aztek is bad. Echo is horrible.

 

Well, pretty much anything would look good with a machine-gun mount on top. Or, better yet, a MK19 automatic grenade launcher :p At least people WOULDN'T DARE tell you your car was ugly!

Actually, I do think the Element is ugly. It's a great concept, though. I'd love to have a car that I could just hose out when it gets dirty. Seats that fold down to a bed. And that huge roof opening in the back. I wonder if you can leave it open while you drive, like a sun roof. My dad had a van that opened up like that. That was a FUN car, despite its terminal uglyness!

 

I'm practical about these things:
The Honda Element is just a rebadged CRV with a plastic interior. They're both perfectly capable, if utterly bland, vehicles.

Aztek isn't a piece of junk because of the appearance. It's a piece of junk because it has an awful safety rating and a 180 horsepower V-6 struggling to haul around a 4000 pound vehicle. It gets decent mileage for its size, but only because of tall gearing - which kills the last chance the V-6 has for acceleration.

The Toyota Echo is actually an okay car. I know a 6'5" guy who drives one and swears that it's comfortable. It's very similar to the Prius, and if you crunch the numbers, you need to put well over 200,000 miles on both cars before the Prius' better gas mileage offsets the $6,000+ you save by getting the Echo. (Not counting tax breaks for having a hybrid vehicle.)


I've been owner to a beat up '86 Ford Thunderbird, and an '87 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera... While I wasn't thrilled with either one, I wouldn't call them an embarassment either.

 

see?? don't go bashing my WhEeLz :p... i'm 6'3" btw.

 

i'm surprised no one has mentioned the yugo

 

 

oops my bad. in that case i nominate...chevy chase's *truckster*

 

and also, i agree that the pontiac aztec would be a pretty embarassing car to be seen in
