Wow lots of hater for 2010 Mazda3. I agree with most of the cars mentioned here except for 2010 Mustang and 2010 Mazda3. Yea you heard that right, I actually like the 2010 Mazda3. And yes I have see them in person every single day cuz 2 of my neighbors got one and I actually been in them. Just my taste.

As for 2010 Mustang, I don't think is ugly enough to make us puke. Is not great, but is not horrible either. I m no fan Mustang, but I don't think it bad enough to be in the list.

I so agree with all the Acura new fugly grill. I have a 07 Acura TL, boy am I glad I bought that one instead of the new 2010 TL.

What I think should be added to the list are everysingle models there is of Toyota and Honda. I hate to say this, but I am seeing the downfall of Toyota and Honda for the next decade if they don't get their act together soon. They both sure are losing touch with their car design, nothing but fugly cars and SUV coming out from them these days.

As for the SHO its also a dissapointment, a classmate that has the older one was going to look into buying one went to a local dealership and he said he was dissapointment, stating the SHO looked like a lowered minivan and it was just too bulky.
Not sure what he was looking at to call the SHO a lowered minivan. It's definitely a big car - bigger than the competition. The Fusion competes with Camry/Accord - this is meant to be larger than those. I was in Chicago Assembly yesterday admiring the SHO.

I admit I wasn't a fan of the 2010 Mustang taillights, but they've grown on me. It looks especially sweet in Shelby GT500 trim.

If you go on the Ford website the first pic shown of the SHO from that angle looks like a lowered minivan. But thats not the point, from i what i was told by people who went and test drove the vehicle there response was "i was a little let down" they stated that the car was way to big, the interior was nice but they just described it as a wanna be luxury car, the two people i talked to that got to take one on a circuit track stated that the AWD was needed since the car swayed so much. As for the power it just felt boring, there was a low or mid range kick they expected which isnt a really bad but it just felt slow and sluggish.

As for the 2010 Mustang i put it up there is because what people wanted it to represent it did not, as far as the base models go.

The 2010 Mazda3 definitly belongs on this list due to the numerious flaws it is, the whole "areodynamics" bs they tried to push on us is a joke, would someone like to explain to me how something that is bulkier and heavier better? And dont even get me started on the interior of it, basically the whole car is a mix and match of many other cars inside and out, the only thing thats on there that does not like a part from another car is the front end.....which is the worst part.

Not only are they UGLY but there are also a DEATH TRAP! A friend of mine went to buy one when gas prices got near the $4 dollar mark and you wouldn't believe the waiting list was a year out, people where also paying above retail for these cars.

honestly, they are utterly pointless. The Nissan versa gets better gas mileage, has more power, has a back seat, has a trunk, AND is cheaper...only problem is, its still ugly.

I agree with you. I don't see how SHO is a lowered minivan. And the 2010 Mustang taillights does look kind of cool, but the front is still kind of ugly though.

Speaking of the new Fusion, I think it is better than both Camry/Accord in almost every way. For all I know is they are selling like water. I m tired of seeing all these ugly Camry/Accord everywhere I go, is about time we get some variety on the road.
