Oldsmobile Bravada
This is why Oldsmobile is dead. A truck with an unmatching car-like grille and headlights. It's like one of those cross dressers you see what tries so hard to look like a woman but is so obviously a man.

Haha! I DO like your evil comments! BUT, I truly believe that what REALLY killed Oldsmobile were GM's d@mned BEAN COUNTERS!!! Older v8, RWD Oldsmobiles would run until the bodies rusted off the frames! They simply LASTED TOO LONG! I also think that is why PLYMOUTH is also a superceded nameplate. But these modern bean-counters had to let them go out with wimpy, fugly, crappy FWD junk that tarnished what was once a good name. Too bad there are so many who never had an opportunity to own one or drive one of the vintage models. They outlasted the payment book!
Just a re-post to say that I do realize the Bravada is a RWD platform, however, it meets the criteria quite well to qualify as Fugtastic. I agree with your description of it, too! It's something it is not. What it is, is a customized Blazer with Ballerina trim.
