It doesn’t have to be a real production car, it can also be a concept.

For me, it has to be the 1997 Dodge Copperhead. This ugly chungus just speaks to me and I don’t know why. It is hideous, Pontiac Aztek levels of ugly, but I kinda wish Dodge actually sold it. It wasn’t going to be gutless, sharing much with the Viper, but it also wasn’t going to have the same price of the Viper (Viper at the time was ~$75k, this baby would have been ~$30k). For the price, a little ugly isn’t that big of a deal for a similar powertrain. Surely a facelift kit could help it out some.

Just thought a discussion like this could be fun. What cars are the same for you?

    I’ve never even heard of the Dodge Copperhead, but I’m with you.

    It’s definitely something of a “butter face” for sure.

    Much better! 😆

    I do think the Aztek is ugly as sin but I did think they looked kind of cool/cyberpunk.

      Yeah, that back looks much closer to the Pontiac Solstice, which I always thought was a good looking car. I knew a retired guy with one who’d lied about his age during WWII and wound up ferrying aircraft. He was a firecracker when you’d get to talking with him and it seemed like a fun car.

        Back when they were new, I saw a GXP at a dealership tried to get in and managed to shut the door but the steering wheel was wedged between my knees. As I was crawling out, a salesman asked if I’d like a test drive. Uhhh that wouldn’t be safe for either of us lol. But I fit in my MX-5 just fine!

      I drove a rented Aztek on vacation once, and it was just fine. Rear visibility sucked, but it was a perfectly cromulent vehicle.
