Design Duds: Which Car Brand Has the Ugliest Lineup?

We all know there are some tragically ugly cars out there, but have you ever stopped to think about entire BRANDS that just can't seem to get it right? It's like a tragic car design epidemic. So, the big question: which carmaker takes the cake for the ugliest lineup today?

Want a truly obscure pick? Fiat. Remember when they had those cool little Abarths? Long gone, my friends. Now we're stuck with those bloated versions of the 500 that look like a cartoonist's lazy rehash of the original. Talk about a brand running on fumes...

Speaking of uninspired, can we discuss Subaru? Seriously, they've got ONE decent-looking car (and that's only 'cause Toyota had a hand in it). The rest? It's like they're competing to see who can use the most cheap-looking plastic cladding. None of those cars make you go, "Ooh, I want that!"

Car Brand

Mitsubishi ain't doing much better. The Outlander tries way too hard with all those weird angles, and the rest of their lineup just looks... depressed. The Eclipse Cross is an insult to its name, the Mirage makes you want to look away in pity, and let's not even mention the G4. Yikes.

Now, some of our buddies have also nominated Tesla, Land Rover, and even Toyota. Honestly, they might have a point.

So, what's YOUR verdict? Which car brand makes you cringe the hardest with its entire lineup? Let the roasting begin in the comments – maybe we can shame these companies into hiring better designers!
