Default Cars that have aged poorly

So that whole "Ten Cars that still look new" list got me thinking. How about cars that have aged poorly. It can't be cars that are straight up ugly (nobody ever really fancied the Pontiac Aztek). It should be something you thought looked new and cool when it came out... that, now, you think otherwise.

Which Mercedes did you think looked cool when it came out but now looks old and ugly?

Z3. It was almost unique when it first came out, and I thought very cool. But the design has not aged well at all (in my view).

I've always felt the early '00 celica looked cool when it came out...

350Z
Z3 (except the coupe/hatchback)

On the flip side, I hated the last 5-Series when it came out and now it's growing on me. New one looks good as well.

Z3
G35 sedan (it's not UGLY now, but I used to think it was beautiful and now I think it's Camry-like)
Mercury Cougar. I don't know why I once-upon-a-time thought that was a good looking car.
