I've warmed up a lot to the new BMW 5 series - but not the 7 or the Z4.
I too have become used to the styling of the 350Z, and no longer find it offensive to the eyes. The new Charger is also growing on me.
Still ugly, and always will be:
Pontiak Aztek (there are still a few of these monsters on the road)
7 series
Z4 (both coupe and conv, even M)
Morgan Aero 8 (the cross-eyed face ruins it!)

The first time I saw the 1984 CRX I not only thought it was ugly but funny looking as well. It looked like someone had chopped off the back and while I had heard they handled well I laughed my ass off at how stupid it looked. A few days later at an autocross a new CRX handed my ass to me and my Corvette and I stopped laughing and went for a test drive. That was all it took and I had to have one. I loved it.
Bangle 7's. Hated them to start with and while I don't love them I now like the looks.
Seriously big pick up trucks like the Ford F650 or the International XT series. I absolutely hated big pick ups until I started towing racecars and horses. Now I love the looks of a tastefully done big pick up for towing, not for daily driving. Ugly but I love it:
Or even the really ugly new non-dually:

I don't think there are many that I hated and now love.
The previous gen BMW M Coupe is probably one - I think that's the most beautiful ugly car out there.
Another would probably be the Acura RSX. I really didn't like it at first, but it's really grown on me. Pretty nice looking car, especially with an A-Spec package or just lowered with nicer wheels.
Lastly, the latest Honda Accord. I hated the redesign in 2003. Now, the 2006 refresh has me smiling again. Not so much that I love it, I just think it's actually decent looking now (especially the back end).
