- 2008 Mazda5 5MT Sport w/ Popular Package
10. Mitsubishi Evo X
9. Bentley Mulsanne
What's So Ugly: The Mulsanne just looks goofy. No, wait it looks like Goofy. The big, silly grin spread across the front, the big-eyed headlight treatment, the snout of a grill, and floppy-eared side mirrors all combine to give Bentley's flagship a decidedly canine countenance. Wanna go play fetch?
8. Lamborghini Reventon
What's So Ugly: The Reventon was a tough call. It's a good car based on a neat concept, but it just came out wrong. The front end looks more like a pair of horny leaf blowers than the air intakes on a stealth fighter. Its stubby little nose is more cute than killer. And don't even get me started on the slats over the engine bay.
7. Gumpert Apollo
What's So Ugly: Wow. This one's... special. I really hope this is one of those "form follows function" moments, because if there's a designer out there who sketched this and said "Yeah, that looks good. Let's go with that," then the guy needs a serious talking-to.
6. Nissan NISMO 350Z
What's So Ugly: What happens when you combine the puffy, undefined punum of the ordinary 350Z with a horrible chin spoiler? You get a scaredy-Z. This car looks absolutely terrified. The 370Z may look like a catfish, but at least it's an angry, mean-looking catfish. Its older brother looks like it's about to tuck its tail between its legs and run away.
5. Hyundai Genesis Coupe
What's So Ugly: Sure, it's Hyundai's pretty-darn-good sports car. Good for them. But as M44Power points out, did they have to make it look like it's sucking a lemon? The car kind of looks uncomfortable. "Am I allowed to be here?" It asks, uncertain. "Do they know I'm a Hyundai? Is this OK? I'm good, I swear! Don't throw me out with your five-year-old Elantra! I'm better than that!"
It's OK, Genesis. We believe you. Just relax, and put the lemon down.
4. Morgan Aero 8
What's So Ugly: Who at Morgan thought it would be a great idea to send their first modern sports car out into the world cross-eyed? And to top it off, instead of the light, sporty look of every single clamshell-fendered car that came before it, the Aero 8 has big, bulbous, pontoon-like fenders. It's a shame that such a good car has to be looked at from the front wheels back.
3. Hyundai Genesis PM580
What's So Ugly: I'm sure Hyundai and Rhys Millen spent hours testing and refining the shape of this thing in a wind tunnel somewhere, and this is the result. And while we know it's going to be scary quick, it should take some time off to get its nose done. The car looks like a cross between Pinocchio and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
2. Mazda Mazdaspeed 3
What's So Ugly: The Mazdaspeed 3 presents a monologue: "Hi guys! I'm so happy to be here! Let's go driving! Can we go fast? I love going fast! What, you do too? Great! Oh. You like going fast so people can't see my face? Why? You say it's too silly for a car of my stature? That's almost a nice thing to say! Thanks! Let's go!"
1. Weber Faster One
What's So Ugly: Faster than what? Its reflection? If you ever see one of these in real life anywhere, I want you to walk up to the owner and ask them if they looked at the car before buying it. Surely there was a better-looking option that offered similar performance at a similar price point that didn't look half as horrendous. This is the stuff of nightmares, folks. Please, someone take this thing out back and shoot it.

Reventon's front turns me down, same with the new Acuras (just the grill)

i agree with the reventon but the evo looks like it is missing something
You missed the other part of the main heading.
"This is Answers of the Day — a feature where we take the best ten responses from the previous day's Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It's by you and for you, the Jalopnik readers. Enjoy!"
Everyone's a creative mastermind. Lol.

I have a feeling this guys best looking list would have the corolla and Malibu at #1 and #2
9-5 have no place n this list.
In all honesty, I was going to buy a mazdaspeed 3 until they made it ugly, but it still is not bad enough to be on this list.

The vox populi forgot this one:
Oh well, somebody has to buy them if they sell, too much refinement and class for the rest of us

Yeah I dont see how the race cars can be part of the list they are not supposed to look good, they are supposed to be aero dynamic.
I feel that the Evo X, the reventon, dont belong to the this list along with the race cars. While I think the Mazda S3 is not the best looking it doesnt belong in the number 2 spot.

Looks like a humpback whale that got run over by a bus. (boom07)
I got a huge LOL @ the Nismo 350Z.
And as much as I don't want to say it .. I really do hate the styling of the current Mazda models. It really is ridiculous -- there's so many curls and flares and slats and holes and swirlies and blaaaaah blah blaaaah, the lines of the car are obliterated.
And I think they hit the nail on the head with the EVO. That weird front bumper was the first thing I noticed (and winced at) when the new design was unveiled.
