For me the Fiat Multipla isn't an ugly car, it just looks odd, a bit like a weird bug thing.

The only car on here so far that I would refuse a ride in is the hideous red corvette. I'm in the UK and to me that car is aimed the USA equivalent of our very own  "medallion man with chest wig dunked in aftershave" Or maybe it's for someone who has a very small penis.

My vote for ugliest car is the old-style Lotus Europa.  It looks like someone cross-bread a hearse with an el camino.

Aren't those one and the same thing?

We used to own this car for a short while:

A 1995-ish(?) Mazda 323F. The headlights are kinda cool. Too bad rust killed it.
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

I dont really know what happened. I just wanted to tell that they made an electric e-type. Then the americans showed up and everything went to "hey look at this muscle car".

If you read this and feel offended, then please learn how to take a joke. :-+

It is easier to pick examples of ugliness than to try to present something as the most <positive quality> :)

Many thanks for heads up about the electric E-Type - certainly be interesting to see the interest if/when it goes into production.
Though much as I'd love either an original or electric E-Type any lottery winnings would go on a classic Gullwing Mercedes :p

If you see an original E-Type on the street, they *are* beautiful for something designed and manufactured over 50 years ago, but ---- There are some ugly variation of the two body styles, and the aerodynamics are nothing like as good as the styling!

Scrawny wheels and tyres, massive body overhang, and of course legendary 1960s British electrics!
Cue: Austin Powers

Pontiacs and Corvettes, a different conversation completely- where's the leather and wood?
Don't ask a question if you aren't willing to listen to the answer.

40Kw ? what is wrong with these car makers.... That's is a joke.
Shove a 100Kw battery pack in there. Then you got something.


Or you could use a capacitor that can deliver 500KW ... but only has 2WHr capacity.

My personal choice is the 1961-1963 Ford Thunderbird.  Personal worst--Ford Transit Connect.  Had a 2010 as a company vehicle.  Butt ugly.  I now have a new 2017 Transit for my current company vehicle.  It's marginally better.  We call it my ice cream truck.

How about Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, still a good looking car, and built when the only description of power and performance was " Adequate". You could not tell, except by looking at the rev counter, if the engine was running.

Please don't lump all of us Americans together.   :)  I'd take an E Type over just about any other car if I could afford one.

How about this one?

I would take 40kWh over 100kW anytime.
