IAMFUGLY

So apparently Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas is starting a car company called IAMAUTO, and will produce the glorified Lego car posted below that's about as tasteful as their music.  One can only hope it performs better than it looks, because if not it'll perform about as good as a K-Car firing on 3 cylinders.  It's also strangely lacking humps...

Spyker C12 Zagato

Spyker cars aren't exactly known for their subtlety.  In fact there are probably a lot of people that would say all Spyker cars belong on this blog.  However, I believe that for Spyker cars the beauty is in the details.  It may be overwhelming at first, but the more you look at them the more everything tends to meld together cohesively.  The same could be said for the Pagini Zonda.

However, the Zagato bodied Spyker C12 crosses the line in my opinion from fabulous to fugly.  The front end isn't too bad - it's a sleeker interpretation of the Spyker themes.  As you move back you meet some broad hips, but they're sleeker than similar treatments on recent Zagato bodied Maseratis and Ferraris - they looks less bloated and more muscular.

However the seemingly aquatic inspired rear end treatment is excessively overwrought and vomit inducing.  It's gigantic taillights and venting/tail pipes that look like chrome gills are more fitting to a Mitsuoka Orochi than Spyker's predominantly aviation inspired cues.

The Torino Lutteral

This Argentinian atrocity has an interesting past. Industries Kaiser Argentina (IKA) is an Argentina based subsidiary of the North American Kaiser Motors, formed in 1956.  Initially they sold slightly modified Jeeps and Kaiser Manhatten, expanding to sell modified Renault cars post 1959 (after which they became known as IKA Renault).  They sold a variety of modified Jeep and AMC products in the 1960s before being completely bought out by Renault in 1970's to become Renault Argentina.  To make matters even more confusing, they were also associated with Alfa Romeo in the early 1960s, buying the body models for Alfa Romeo models and producing cars that were mirror images of those sold in Italy...

Their most famous car was the Torino, which was essentially an AMC Rambler redressed by Pininfarina.  While this was a very attractive car, something went wrong after the Renault buyout.  Renault Argentina decided to continue to produce the Torino due to it's popularity, becoming the only non-Renault based car in it's lineup.  In doing so a facelift destroyed it's pretty lines, and all bodystyles adopted this furrowed brow look with rectangular headlights.  A revised coupe called the Lutteral appeared with a strange fastback reminescent of a homemade 1964 Plymouth Barracuda - in 1973.  A sad end for what were originally very pretty cars.

Bugatti Veyron EH 1.5

Only missing 14.9L of engine displacement.

Pulled to the Limits of Taste

The Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman is an iconic car - one of the most expensive and lavish cars of it's time. It's a shame to see even one of the 2,677 made between 1964 and 1981 end up as the neoclassic disaster pictured below.

This particular car was made by the firm "B+B Auto Exclusive" in 1980 for King Khalid of Saudi Arabia.  And if you think it couldn't get any uglier, the king originally requested a paint job consisting of a red base covered with white dots. The neoclassic design partially hid the large footboards, made so that security guards could hang off the side of the car.

Mild de-fugging: 2013 Lincoln MKT

I previously posted my hatred of the Lincoln MKT on this site.  Thought I would update my opinion on the matter now that Ford has facelifted it's high-riding minivan for 2013.

Although it's an improvement, it's pretty evident that nothing short of a complete reskin will save this bloated vehicle from looking like a whale.  To make matters worse, the revised grille looks even more like baleen than it did before...

In short:  it looks better, but the end result is akin to Rosie O'Donnell getting a nose job. A couple tweaks won't save the rest of the disaster.

SLdorado

Again, not sure why exactly.  500SL + 1960 Cadillac = Wrong.

Merry Christmas

Yeah, I'm a bit late.  Merry Christmas from AutoFug.

Bondo Slipper

Is this Redneck Cinderella's ride to the ball or her bondo slipper?  Damn - Snow White Trash is a better pun but it doesn't fit the storyline...

Angry Golf is Angry

This Golf looks like a caricature of itself.  In fact, it kind of looks like the angry face emoticon.  Also, this is the reason people don't use Chrysler Sebrings as parts cars for boy racer customization...
