Buick Century Tuner Edition
Long before Buick tried to reimagine the Regal as a sports sedan with it's thinly veiled Opel Insignia, Buick tried their hand up at releasing a sporty Century.
Enzo Fail
Again - not exactly fugly. Posting it mainly because it's basically the world's most expensive kit car. Basically someone took a perfectly good Enzo and tried to make it look like an FXX. Which is sad, as most Ferrari fans will see through it - and the value of one of the most expensive Ferraris you can buy was most likely brought down by doing so.
Ferrari F430 Scuderia
So you may be wondering why I'm postings the F430 Scuderia. I don't think the car is fugly, just these two specifically. Why? Although it may be hard to tell in the muted dones above, the cars are painted a pale yellow with maroon accents. Quite tasteful if you ask me. And by tasteful I mean I can taste bile in my mouth because I just threw up a little.
The story is that the matching coupe and Spider were made special order for a wealthy customer, and that these photos were taken at a dealership displaying them until the owner took delivery. To make things worse, they're apparently the last two Scuderias ever made (hence the dash plaque below). Speaking of the interior, I think it's a bit more worse off than the exterior.
PISA Scorpion
Another Phoenix International Sport Automobiles (PISA) Fiero creation. This unholy union of Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and Toyota Celica is at least more unique than some of their other kits. In fact, at first glance I wouldn't have seen the Fiero connection had all of their products not revolved around Pontiac's mid-engined plagiarist's dream.
