The 6 Ugliest Eco-Cars: Because Green Isn't Always Pretty

Tango Electric Car

Let's be honest. The Tango loses most of its sex appeal when George Clooney isn't standing next to it. The concept is great (0 to 60 mph in around 4 seconds!), but unfortunately in the real world the proportions make it look kind of weird and awkward.

ZAP Alias Electric Vehicle

Okay, so they probably gave it three wheels to get around certain regulations (it is "homologated as a motorcycle with enhanced safety features"). But it's not like the front of the vehicle looks much better than the back, and when you put the two together, it just looks all wrong. A good example of a non-conventional vehicle that still looks good is the Aptera 2e, another three-wheeler.

What's Your Opinion?

Are there any cars that you think have their heart in the right place, but they just aren't very appealing? We're sure there are people out there who think the Tesla is ugly and the Xebra is the cutest thing ever, and that's fine. As we said at the beginning of this post, this is very subjective. We're just curious to know what your picks would be.
