Ten butt ugly concept cars

Jun 26th, 2008 by Motor Dude

For every cool looking concept car, there is a pig ugly dog of a concept. This post celebrates those dogs. The concept cars that make you groan and want to look away. The kind of concept cars that make you yearn for the pedestrian life.

So here's a few concepts that just don't got no alibi, they's UGLY... let's countdown the ten ugliest concept cars...

Number 10: Nissan Round Box

Nissan gave this appealing concept and equally appealing name. The Round Box, isn't actually round, but it does have curves in all the wrong places. Looks like it was designed by Derek Zoolander after a payote trip and a rough night with two midgets and a donkey.

Number 9: Hyundai Hellion

Shares some of the Round Box style cues, but with a splash of gold for extra "class". Looks like someone has looked at the final design and said, "hmmm, starting to look a little lame... I know, lets whack on some really big wheels".

Number 8: Honda Bulldog

The Bulldog may have a beefy and aggressive name, but it's look is anything but. It does not look like a muscle machine, and what is that colour? Fuschia?

Number 7: Renault Be Bop

Ok, not strictly U-G-L-Y, but deserves a spot due to it's blandness. Besides that, the windows look stupid... they offend me.

Number 6: Mazda Mono Posto

Taking stupid to the next level, this butt ugly trouser nugget is perfect for the driver with no friends, no luggage and no taste. At least they had the good sense to make it red.

Number 5: Mercedes Benz Bionic Car

Like the relaunched Bionic Woman, this thing just doesn't have long term appeal. Apparently it was designed to look 'fish' like. If you want to drive Nemo, be my guest, just drive at night time so no one need look at you.

Number 4: Volkswagen 1 Litre

Maybe inspired by the Mono Posto... but why? It might be environmentally friendly, but that doesn't mean it has to be U-G-L-Y. Plus, 1 Litre?? You want to be stopping at the service station every 10 minutes?

Number 3: Peugeot Moovie

I hope the designers were joking? What a waste of time and money! This thing just looks bizarre. This is a concept car, but I'm scratching my head wondering what that concept is?

Number 2: Nissan Pivo 2

Yes, it rotates. Wow. If it's alright with you, I'd rather drive a car that didn't look as though it'd been designed by a five year old girl with crayons.

Number 1: Honda Fuya Jo

It's like a little granny flat on wheels. It's like that Honda robot ate a bad curry, got a bad case of stomach cramp, and then crapped out this brick with wheels.
