Survey: Ugliest Car Since the Edsel or Aztek?

It is wrong on so many levels. (See Honda FC Sport Concept: So Funky it's Actually Cool, or Just Plain Funky Ugly!) First of all, you don't put the flux capacitor across the front of the car, you keep it safely inside. Second of all, in these times we don't need a hydrogen fuel cell, we need a Mr. Fusion that runs on garbage.

As a designer, and former car junkie, I'd have to say that it looks pretty sweet. The Aztek was ugly because the proportions were wrong, and nothing lined up right. This does not have that problem.
Now, as far as concepts go, I'd rather see them show a current or vintage Honda they have retrofitted with a new technology. Then the focus is on the tech, not the sculpting.
Sadly, this is typical Detroit-inspired smoke-and-mirrors sheathed in what one of my design professors called 'styling masturbation'.
Besides the big T on the front I like it.
Does anyone remember what the original Volt looked like? Go compare that to the one they're showing now.
not too bad, actually looks pretty cool. add an in-dash oscillation overthruster and it'll be ready for action.
