Every other aircraft in the US looks like it wants to fly. The Osprey doesn't.

That is simply not true, there are plenty American airplanes that don't look like they want to fly.

here's a short list

I appologize to all of you piper drivers, but this looks like it should be being peddled in circles on the back patio by a 3 year old.

Any PA-22/20 STCs makes this a fine airplane, but MY GOD! The nose wheel makes it look like crap, and at least 10mph slower when it didn't have 10mph to lose. Folks this was considered progress in 1955.

PPPFFT, yah it flys, but it doesn't want to. Half don't even have rudder peddles. This would be like fat chicks and mopeds, if it was fun to ride.

The V-22 may be ugly, but that just means it needs more power to go fast.
