Considering how many new cars are rolled out every year, it's no surprise that a few might be just plain homely. There's a chance that certain styles might become fashionable with a dash of retro hip. (Well, maybe not from the 1970s.) But for the most part, the following 50 cars will never be anything but design duds...

The Cimmarron wasn’t as bad as the hideous 1985 maroon/silver DeVille that tried to look like a Rolls. OMG!! I hated that car.

I drive an older model of the Scion, it’s yellow. I love it, but then I don’t have to see it in traffic!

GM HHR. A mini-hearse without the morbid appeal.

Agreed. I have hated those ugly little things ever since the first one I saw. A stinking box with wheels, Woo-hoo!

I love the Chevy SSR. Maybe because I’m old enough to have grown up with the ‘48-’53 Chevy trucks.

The Plymouth Prowler is gorgeous. Yes, it suffered from the bumper safety requirements of the gov’t, but how can these idiots call it ugly? Or the Ferrari?

Also I love El Caminos.

Hey, I like the WRX, Audi, and Mazda 3. WRX is a blast to drive. The ugliest car to me is the PT Cruiser.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the Aztec. I am a freelance photographer and one of the most beautiful models I ever worked with drove an Aztec. Not only was she absolutely gorgeous, she was really nice. That's pretty rare in the world of models. They are frequently attractive but absolute nuts to work with. Not so this young lady.

And the avoid the certain TTIWWP flame here's a shot of her:
