News about that ugly peace of machinery have lingered on autoblog.com for a while now. I don't know, I guess I'm just too conservative, but I think the Accord estate is a much nicer car.

The Venza was my first thought too. I guess they built it to see who would win "The ugliest car in its' class" award

It's been out for a couple of months now. Yeah, it's as ugly as sin.

Honda is really on a downward spiral. If they don't fire their designers soon, their future is in deep trouble.

hah how do you figure GM is designing some of the best cars on the market? Because their advertisements are telling you that?

And I saw one of those crosstours in person, I was surprised at how gigantic that thing is. And yes, it was hideous.

Tell me where I'm wrong. If you guys don't see these as among the better looking cars (high end excluded) out there, then I may have to suggest glasses.

Hate to say it , but Toyota can't touch these designs (and I love Toyota design). Lexus can, but few others outside of the high end spectrum can be said to look as good or better.

in all fairness, you cant use cadillacs and corvettes as a basis for comparison when discluding other higher end vehicles.

even with that said, i dont like any of those cars, and I especially HATE the new camaro.

... I guess thats why there are so many different models of cars though. To each their own.

By high end, I mean exotic (Ferrari, Lambo, Aston Martin, Porsche, ect.). IMO, the cars above look better than Mercedes, BMW, Infiniti, Acura, ect. I think Lexus and Cadillac are the best looking luxury brands.

GM cars are GM cars. The people I quoted said GM didn't make good looking cars.
