The Acadia, HHR and Escalade made the top 10 ugliest cars for 2007.

I don't agree w/ that. My wife thinks the Acadia looks good & she is a harsh critic. The only one there I think is ugly is the Subi.

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder, beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.

I have always cringed at the sight of the Sube Tribeca (but they changed it for '08, thank Gawd). I'm not a fan of the Escalade/Avalanch look either. But then again, I dislike most Audis, just because. See the first sentence.

Acadia and Escalade look great, much better than the Tundra or Dakota

I agree on a few of them and disagree one others, but the one I agree with the most is the Nissan Quest. The first time I saw that on the road, I thought is was one of the ugliest vehicles I have ever seen. IMO, it makes the Pinto, the Gremlin and the Pacer look slightly refined.

Acadia is a nice-looking crossover. I wouldn't mind driving one.

How did the new Camry not make it on there?

HHR, Arcadia, and Escalade are far from ugly, and I haven't heard anyone refer to them as ugly.

The HHR is ugly as hell.

The Acadia is effing GORGEOUS, though.

I'm kinda in between on the Escalade. I don't love it but I don't hate it. A bit too 'blingy' for me, though...

Tundra and Raider should have made the list. HHR and Escalade should be removed

How in the hell did not one Toyota product make it on that list? The Tundra is ugly as sin and the Camry isn't that far behind either.

As far as the Arcadia goes, its not ugly, or nor is it as pleasing as it could be. In fact, its got to be one of the most non-inspiring vehicles on the road. It's just too... bland and generic.

A GM vehicle I DO think should definitely be on the list is the uplander!

My question is why isn't the Smart car or the Yaris (although moderately better than the Echo), or the Scion xb on that list? When it comes right down to it, you could pick practically any Toyota (except for maybe the FJ) and it would be at home on that list (but then the list would have to be a top 30 list then wouldn't it).

Acadia certainly doesn't deserve to be on it, but whatever..... I think the Escalade/Avalanche (actually all the 900 series trucks) are so much, much better looking than the 800 series trucks.

The Quest and the Subaru however should be there... the rest is up for debate.

Uplander -- agreed on that one, man that's one homely van.
