Okay...so last year (or maybe the year before), Pontiac came out with a really ugly car (the Pontiac Aztec). I'm talking ugly:
Chevy quickly followed up with an equally ugly pickup/suv hybrid called the Avalanche. They're bothers in the same ugly car family. And, I thought there'd never be an uglier car. But, as usual, I was proven wrong. Honda decided they could one-up Pontiac and they came up with something they're calling an Element:
Well, I thought, Honda's done it. They created a car that's even uglier than the Aztec. Who woulda thunk it was possible? Surely, not me. So, I bowed to their engineering superiority and had decided, once again, that the ugliest car race had been won.
Alas. Once again. Proven wrong. 'Turns out Toyota decided they could do something even uglier. And, lo! They did:
It's called a Scion. Yowza. Each time I see one of those things on the road (well, I have yet to see a Scion...I'm not even sure they're in production), I wonder about the person driving it. I wonder if they think it's cool. If they think it's so ugly, it's pretty. I mean, that happens, you know. It does.
The question for me now is: who'll come up with something even uglier? 'Cause, ugly as that Scion is, I've learned my lesson. I know there's some "designer" out there trying to out-ugly Toyota. Who will it be?
Yikes. The mind boggles.
