Ugly Cars

I saw today, what I think is probably the 2nd ugliest car on the road. What could it be? A Jaguar Station Wagon - complete with hood ornament. Argh. Jaguar makes sleek, good looking cars. Who on earth would want to buy this beast at 35 to 40 thousand dollars. I guess someone who lives near me.
What I believe is THE ugliest car on the road is the Pontiac Aztec. It is hideous. I have heard it described as what looks like a high school shop project. The students were given the project to start on either end and make it connect in the middle. Another description of a green model likened it to a toad - then the reviewer decided that was an insult to a toad.
While these may be very fine automobiles, I just have one question for the design engineers. What were you thinking?
