If the Pontiac Aztek was on the list I would have voted for that.
Levi
None of the list items even come close to the Aztec as far as plain old ugly.
Add my vote for the Aztek being truly fugly.

The Avanti? I loved that car when I was a kid. I came this > < close to buying a restored one back in 2010 from a local guy who has two of them. The Aztec is about as ugly as a car can get, although the Pacer is very near the top of the list, too.

And who can forget the AMC Gremlin. Always thought that was a super ugly car.

Except for the Corvair, which I really like, I dislike all of the other four the most.

There are lots of other cars that I also dislike the most, too many to list here. Just for starters I really dislike most of the American cars from the late 50s and early 60s with tail fins, and I dislike most of the Muscle Cars of the 60s. Never liked the Tribant or Yugo either.

The Cadillac from about 1978 I think looks great. Very flat hood and trunk. I think it looks stylish even for today.
Here's a link, hope it works:

Didn't work, just google 1978 Cadillac.

Do not like the Corvair.

My father had a 1978 Cadillac. There are some aircraft carriers in the US Navy that are smaller. Horrible car, too big and clumsy. No fun at all.

Agree about the Aztek, but the Pacer is so ugly that a lot of people think it's cute. A couple years ago (I think it was in Maine), I ran across a convoy of AMC cars at a diner; pulled in to look 'em over and had a couple nice conversations with the owners....Pacer, Gremlin, AMX and even an Eagle Wagon. I am sort of partial to the "orphans"...
