I think I've just found the world's ugliest car

...and it's called the Ssangyong Rodius. Go on, Google it and see what I mean. But be warned it is pure vile filth.

I never thought I'd find a car that made a Multipla look good.

1) Who designs this stuff?
2) Who buys such grot
3) I truly am open to suggestions as to something worse!

Perhaps one of you genius people can post a piccie of said car-wreck.

What I particularly like is the way they are so embarrassed that they've even mutilated the image on their own web page to hide the ugliness:


Gotta love the web address too: http://www.syukcars.co.uk

syukcars ? Well, they got it almost right !

- I feckin' knew it, it rang a bell and I googled it: "It would be easy to describe the SsangYong Rodius as hideous and indeed some people have. In defence of the Rodius' designer Ken Greenley, former head of the automotive design course at the Royal College of Art in London it is difficult to design an MPV which can accommodate nine people as the Rodius does in other markets."

There's a 4WD Ssanyong Rexton on sale here at the minute which is vaguely less puke-inducing than the Rodius, but it has to win the prize for the worst hubcap design of all time. Bar none.

Those Korean's taste is all in their ar*e, hey?

>the Pontiac Aztek

I recognize those cars (several). How did they get them to fit together like that?

No way Pedro - the Rodius beats it hands down. At least the Multipla is unoffensive from the back - it just looks like a van. Just check out the hind quarters of the SsangYong!

Mind you, the Aztec's giving some real competition. I drove some other putrid looking Yank Tank last year as well. A Pontiac Grand Prix, I think it was called. Horrid thing.
