I voted for the Multipla but maybe you shouldn't ask me. I own a '93 Geo Metro Convertible and I'm still looking for its good side so I can photograph it for posterity. Unlike other once-fashionable old items, it never was in style so can't even come back. This impressive fleet will have the same fate.
The Infiniti QX is the sister to the Nissan Armada. All I can think of when I see these cars is the Spanish Armada - bloated, oversized, and not maneuverable. Of course the pick-up version of this is the Titan, and reminds me of the Titanic - Huge and can't turn in time.
However, I voted for the Juke which is only the most extreme of Nissan's ugly cars

I think the KIA Soul is flat UGLY! The back end with those humongus lights are someplace do not belong. Besides, you ever drive behind one of them?? They are slow. Painfully slow. So, my UGLY vote goes to Kia Soul that has no soul.

This was a tough choice. I mean the Fiat Multipla looks like the name was derived from the Italian for multiple sclerosis. Nice to see the Italian auto industry is still hiring the mentally and geometrically challenged. Every Prius pretty much looks like an ugly fat chick with bruises from 10 foot poles. The Nissan Cube...really? I laugh and point at these recycled aquariums cum habitrails every time I see them - almost as much as the fat guys on Harleys with ape-hangers, tiny salad-bowl-helmets and their fat rolls squishing out below their black leather vests...who, by the way, also delude themselves into believing they look cool. But I have to say, when it comes to cars, nobody beats the US.... the Chevy Spark (it looks like it is going to spark and short out all the way down the road) and the Lincoln (luxury??!!) MKT take the cake. What is wrong with American designers?...."Hey let's take all the leftover parts from the last supermodel that died, sew them all together and wait for an electrical storm!"
Beautiful!

Since the Multipla is out of production I voted for the Juke. Looks like a toad posed to leap.

I was going to vote for the Kia Soul... but after seeing the Fiat Multipla... I just couldn't do it such injustice. I mean really, what kind of designer thought a double chin on a car would look good? I know we're all getting fatter, but that doesn't mean our cars should follow suit.

Had the misfortune to get a Fiat Multipla as a rental on a visit to the UK. After multiple incidents of being laughed at (the final straw was when a very attractive woman laughed at us at a light) my colleagues put a sign in the window explaining it was a rental. Didn't drive too badly but that in no way compensated for its looks.

As the Pontiac Aztek was the ugliest vehicle of the 21st century's "oughts", the Juke is far and away the ugliest vehicle of the "teens". What were they thinking - no, what were they smoking when they came up with that design? This from the company that gave us the 240Z.

I voted for the Juke because my all time choice of ugly but still on the road didn't make the list -- Pontiac Aztek. I still see an occasional Aztek on the road so they should have qualified. Perhaps the qualifier was that they are still being made. The Aztek broke the mold and the bank pulling a perfectly respected Pontiac nameplate down into the dregs of the long lost.
Mitsubishi had better be careful not to follow the same path..

I like the styling of the Prius V. I dislike the styling the Juke and every Mini.

Also, to be fair, the Multipla ought to be given something like a Lifetime-Ugly-Achievement Award (the LUAA!) and be retired from all future c0ntests.

Concerning the Fiat Multipla...wow, wotta name...anyway, if they'd only put headlights in the headrests....

There are a lot of ugly cars missing. I didn't see a single Cadillac (they look like electric razors on wheels) or any of those stupid SUV cum pickup trucks
Gawd! I thought that the Nissan Juke was far and away the ugliest thing on the road! Then I saw the photo of the Fiat Multipla. It seems like Jabba the Hut met the creature from Outer Limits with a thousand eyes! I hope that I won't be seeing one of those in my travels throughout Vermont. They probably don't even allow it in this state!
p.s. I drive a Honda Fit, and in the summer, a 1991 Mazda Miata. I guess I like pointed- nose cars. Used to drive a truck, but found that I couldn't afford to eat AND drive.
I voted for the Lincoln because I'm so disappointed in FORD. In their past they designed Lincolns that were classical to look at. The last few years they just have a homely Taurus. Cadillac is eating Your lunch FORD. Send Your designers over to GM & hire some new talent...maybe from KOREA...

This is a tough list. The Juke leaps from the screen as butt-ugly, but the Lincoln MKT and the Infiniti are right up there. I despise ostentation in automobiles. The designers don't seem to know what understated elegance is. Like the thick leather Coach handbags from 20 years ago. Quality and long-lasting, classic good looks. When you walk around with one, everyone knows what it is.
