IMO, the only ugly cars in that list are the Aztec and the Avalanche. The rest are unique, but not ugly.

But then again the demographics of Car Talk are no different than here. And except for the fact that the xB is on that list many members of this forum would agree with their opinion of "cool" cars and which are "ugly". Just look at the "all other vehicles" section of this forum and you'll find people thumbing their nose at cars that probably have a small devoted following too.

I can see where the xB is on that list. For most people, they feel "safe" with cars that look similar to others, and that have been proclaimed "cool" by their peers. The xB doesn't have a "safe" look.... it is edgey and way out of the norm. That scares people... they don't know how to deal with it. When you have a bold car like an xB or Cooper, you have to be comfortable with and strong in who you are. Most people are not.

I'll bet that if we could look at the entire list, we'd find the Matrix and Cooper on there too. I suspect that any vehicle that doesn't fit into the Corolla, Camry, Accord mold would be deemed ugly.

 

That big chrome piece in the center of the grill looks like rodent teeth.

 

hahahaha that is funny, that guy prolly made up that website, has no life except to make fun of cars he wished he could afford.... be probally drives a 1989 civic si with 200,000 miles, not that is could last that long, and posts his opinions.... that is all that is, and the h2 is ugly, he posted a pic of the hummer sut not the h2.. the sut in my OPINION is ugly..... lol.... but anyways i needed a good laugh.... half the cars on that site are boxy and the others arent released in the states yet./..............hes a winner lol gotta love the smilies...........

 

Actually, Car Talk is a long-running radio program on NPR hosted by two funny mechanics/brothers. The nominations came from listeners.

 

if the xb is really the # 2 ugliest car then these women here in miami don't have any taste..lol here's the thing my friend drives a honda civic ex slam nice wheels i drive the xb 2 inch drop with some hp racing wheels and guess who gets all the chicks....you got it the dude in the # 2 ugliest car..............lol i think that was a miss print it should have said the #2 best looking car for the millinium...

 

thass all that site is to me,, second the xb vs civic except not the civic but a bagged s10

 

Ugh, new Nissans are so rancidly ugly. The Maxima used to be a hot car.

I agree on the Aztec, that is one ugly beast.

But the xB? Come on. Even the pic they chose for that article shows how sleak, simple and dynamic the xB is. The more I see xBs, the more I like how they look. It's usually the other way around.

 

they have the hummer there....cmon now

 

i have also heard that xBs are number 10 on the top ten most desired cars list!

 

The people that compiled this pointless list obviously drive the HUMMER ME-TOO or some other type of SUV. Speed bumps at the mall - that's about all the "off-roading" they'll ever see.
