Here they are – the first annual Fuglies: a recap of the last year of who gained the most traffic on my blog. “Congratulations” to the
losers winners.
Gold Nissan JukeThe gold winner this year is the
Nissan Juke, which blew away all other contenders. Nissan Juke pageviews accounted for a whopping 7.2% of the total pageviews for the site, and it also garnered the most traffic via internet searchs, with related keywords accounting for 18.7% of incoming traffic. Easily one of the most controversial new car releases of the year, apparently the little “SUV” actually drives quite nice. A shame that it’s wrapped in metal not everyone can enjoy.
Silver Mohs Ostentatienne Opera SedanThe
Mohs Opera Sedan (I give up trying to type Ostentatienne any more) deservedly gains the second place spot, with 3.2% of all pageviews for the year. I was a bit surprised by this as it’s a relatively obscure car, but it’s been made more well known recently when
some high school students restored one in an auto body class in 2009.
Bronze Mitsuoka GalueTrailing the Opera Sedan slightly with 3.1% of total pageviews, the
Mitsuoka Galue takes bronze. Mitsuoka is gaining popularity on the internet due to it’s bizarre creations, so this one was no surprise. Also worth noting is that it received the second most hits via the internet search, with related keywords accounting for 10.6% of traffic.
Other worthy contenders worthy mentioning are listed below
Here’s the top 10 for pageviews:
- Nissan Juke – 7.2%
- Mohs Ostentatienne Opera Sedan – 3.2%
- Mitsuoka Galue – 3.1%
- Ferrari 456 Venice Convertible – 1.9%
- Donfeng h30 – 1.6% (*this is most likely a statistical abnormality – most of the pageviews were from people looking for rear-view pictures of the Hyundai Elantra Touring, which must be rear on the internet).

- Sbarro Windhawk - 0.7%

While it might appear to be just an ugly paint job, the devil is in the details. First, note that it seems some one took a Bedazzler to all the shut lines. Also note that the hood pins are chained to the front bumper. I'm not sure that's good for the paint finish.
Also, if you think those rims look oddly familair - they're taken from an SRT8 300C.
Not sure what this Japanese microcar was, but given the grille I assume it's now some kind of industrial waffle making machine capable of making 16 waffles at once.
I would imagine that this unfortunate Lexus LX 570's offroad prowess would be somewhat reduced with the removal of it's roof. Not that it would have ventured off road anyway, I suppose.

I wouldn't say the revised Vauxhall R8 is fugly exactly, although the increasing number of stereotypical go-fast styling cues are approaching critical mass. I'm mainly posting because of the new split grille with chrome toppers. The added chrome looks like unnecessary bling, crowding an already complex front end treatment - and looks a lot like the grille of the pre-facelift current generation BMW 3 Series.
The pictures shown here are of select samples of the custom graphics available for the 2012 Ford Focus. Essentially giant from-the-factory stickers for your car, they're akin the vinyl pinstriping popular in the 80's (but less tasteful and on a much larger scale). It doesn't bode well when the photos released by Ford are nausea inducing. For example, the "retro" rounded square pattern above, in lime green against a teal car. Fads come and go (speaking of teal paint - hello 1994), so hopefully these sticker packages are easily removable for the sake of resale value. Scroll down for more fugly Focuses.
