Oh wow. After posting the CTS-V coupe, I was curious and checked out the wagon variant.

It seems that the ethos of modern Cadillac is "lines out the ass". The crease in the rear bumper looks like some tubby guy sat on the middle of it and bent it out of shape, the bottom edges of the window bend up awkwardly, and the corners of the bumper look like half of an origami swan.
Also, the huge rear lights come out like fins, and the weird circle bolt-like things on the rear bumper just look like it's trying to look like a Porsche 993 GT2. The only real plus is that it doesn't hunch upwards massively like the coupe, but it's still pretty damn horrid.

My mom has one of these in white, braking failed in the snow and sent her into a ditch and tore the front axle out from underneath the behemoth.

The only thing I don't really like on this car is the crease line going straight up the middle of it. Other than that it's fine. The rear lights are supposed to look like fins, it's in most of the current Cadillacs.
And by "circle bolt-like things" do you mean the reverse distance sensors that are on almost every single new car available today? It's not trying to look like a 993 GT2, it's just trying to let the driver know how far from the wall behind him he is, jeeze.

Look at this fucking Audi, trying to be a Porsche 993 GT2! What a fucking joke!

Even a fucking minivan is trying to look like a 993 GT2, fucking lol!

You'd be hard-pressed to find a good angle of this car.

Replaced it, does the new one work?
It's not the worst looking car around. What is it?
[QUOTE=Trekintosh;43850710]It's not the worst looking car around. What is it?[/QUOTE]
Mosler Consulier GTP. It's not the worst in terms of pure styling, but everything is so hideously out of proportion.
This makes me want to vomit. It's just something that can't be replaced or - in this case - "Updated" with "sleek lines" to be ~aerodynamically pleasing~

If it didn't sweep up like that it would be pretty nice IMO

I think that if they based the newer one off of a 5th-gen Camaro, it would look a ton better.

Suddenly it loads. I can't decide on a G8 ute. It'd probably be fun to drive.
Not really "ugliest cars I can think of", but a general automotive "flavor" I've come to dislike:

Those are 2 of the many afflicted with what I've called "Eightieitis". More or less boxy in design, with lots of angles and visual noise that distracts from the bland, relatively unappealing shape. This was a characteristic of a lot of cars from the mid 80s, and for normal everyday cars it's almost forgivable. The problem is that the styling brings with it the nasty side effect of making everything look the same. Cars that should stand out as something special now sink into the pit of everyday cars. What's worse, to make one of these cars stand apart from the rest, very little can be done in the way of making it look better; usual offenses include adding gaudy spoilers or decals or fender flares or racing-inspired.... [I]things[/I] to the exterior of the car, which only adds to the noise. There's nothing elegant about the shape of these cars. Nothing visually appealing. Nothing that makes you think that it's more than what you can see. They look plain, dull, and boring.
That being said, there is at least 1 car I can think of that would normally fall into this classification that I have a soft spot for:

The DeLorean should be in the list as it would seem to be a prime offender, but it's not trying to hide from what it is: a large steel box. That's what makes it cool. The exterior is so void of anything sticking out or interrupting the overall angular flatness of the body. There are no distractions. It's clean. it's free of interruptions. And I mean come on, it's a [I]DeLorean[/I]. It never did and never will blend in to the crowd.
Now, before you rip me to bits about how I am wrong and fucking clueless, let me remind you that this is my opinion and mine alone. I formulated it by seeing cars like this both on the internet and in real life, and paying attention to the stylistic attributes that stood out to me the most. if you don't like it, I make no apologies. Some of you may have grown up dreaming of cars like this, but I didn't, and this is how I feel about them. Lol Bradley and Dysplasia still don't understand what an opinion is.
[QUOTE=Banana Lord.;43860734]I respectfully disagree about the Supra sir.[/QUOTE]
By all means. Frankly, it's pretty close to the DeLorean in terms of design cleanliness imo, but the shit I've seen done to them *shudder*

I like the stock breadvan much more than the monstrosity up there. The stock one looks kinda cute, while that custom looks like a hotwheels car reject of some sort.
the stock one kinda reminds me of a modern version of an old vw van
