Funny you should bring it up now, the "Car Talk" guys on NPR have been compiling an Ugly car list lately, & the Scion & the Element were right there at the top...also getting Dishonorable Mention was the Pontiac Aztex (described as looking like it was designed by 2 different committees that weren't allowed to consult each other till they met at the B-pillar)...all the more startling (to me anyway) because it's a product from vererable old GM, who doesn't usually allow radical design errors like that into production...

btw, lmao at PF's "will it be a Hummer when it grows up"...
