I can't say never, but I'm unlikely to ever drive a 500. Only when the world has been reduced to only Smarts and 500's that silly little Scion thing - of the "pods", the 500 might look the best. I'd take a Fiesta or one of those forthcoming Chevy Sparks over the pods.

I can't call those things cars

I'm also pretty sure driving one would cause a lot of people to question your sexuality...

I agree the Smart car is ugly. The Fiat 500 isn't bad but you won't get me into any of those puddle jumper micro cars. I also remember the quality of the Fiat 128 and Stratos that was sold here in the seventies and early eighties. They were junk. I don't want anything smaller than the new Dodge Charger or Chrysler 300.

My friend and I have plans for me to get a pacer and him to get a gremlin someday. I'd go with this as the ugliest car in my book.

When I was a kid my mom had a 75 Gremlin. She didn't keep it long. I've had one as well. I think they make cool toys but not good daily drivers. They are not very comfortable.
My ex-brother in law is a dentist. He is also a big Star Trek fan. He named his dental office Star Base Dental. It is full of Star Trek memorabilia. He wanted one of those minivans and have it customized to look like a space shuttle. Those vans do look like space vehicles.

Just about anything new from Acura, but namely the ZDX

ZDX has different rear door handles than front door handles. I hate that

I can't argue the Acura. The styling is something else. I recently heard that Acura sales are tanking. Could be the styling that is affecting sales.
