    Except for the caprice and the taurus , I actually like every car in this video, even that Chrysler imperial, I remeber being 10 and sitting inside one I was like wow this feels so great and spacious

    …the Subaru SVX ugly?…really? 🤔



  3. Luke Zerefos on September 24, 2023 at 10:22 pm

    I have a 1999 Buick Riviera. I have 144k miles on it and have had no major problems. The engine is bulletproof. I have driven through mountainous regions, and always had enough power to pass with the supercharger. I owner a Cadillac DTS later and I still prefer the Riviera. I still have it.

    Where’s the Ford Tempo?



  5. Michael DAntonio on September 24, 2023 at 10:23 pm

    If the 1990’s was the "Ugly decade" what’s the progression of those designs into the 2000’s to present day, called – "Even uglier"?



  6. davidpar2 on September 24, 2023 at 10:26 pm

    The ugliest of the 90s have nothing on those of today. All of these “crossovers” and mini suvs are the ugliest, fugliest vehicles ever on the road



  7. Victor Crowley on September 24, 2023 at 10:26 pm

    You shut up about Subaru 😤😡 I love my ugly car



  8. BrianL on September 24, 2023 at 10:29 pm

    Subaru SVX doesn’t belong on this list!



  9. schnuurtchke on September 24, 2023 at 10:31 pm

    Don’t think the Lumina, Catera or the Caprice should be there, or even the Taurus or the Imperial. Sure, they weren’t handsome but you want Ugly from that era? Lots of cars come to mind, 1990-92 Hyundai SCoupe, Mazda Precidia, Honda DelSol, 1991-93 Honda Accord, Oldsmobile Achieva, 1990-92 Toyota Camry and its Lexus cousin, the 1992-94 Pontiac Grand Am, the Toyota Previa, Nissan Quest and Mercury Villager these are all cars uglier than most on the video



  10. Courtney Puzzo on September 24, 2023 at 10:31 pm

    disagree on that the big thing I disliked about the styling of the 91 Chevrolet Caprice was the bug eye headlights and maybe looking like a shrinky dink compared to the gen it replaced. though I maybe a bit biased as my dad drove a used 1984 Caprice Classic from Oct 1993- May 2000



  11. John Gibson on September 24, 2023 at 10:32 pm

    Those are some my favorite cars! Love the Caprice. I had a Riviera and I still love it.



  12. Mike Weizer on September 24, 2023 at 10:32 pm

    The 1995-99Buick Riviera, ugly, are you kidding me!!!!.That was either one of or the last sharp looking Buicks ever made and a definite improvement over the 1986-89 models, If you want ugly in a Buick look at the big fat TURDS that Buick builds today!!!!!!.



  13. michael morris on September 24, 2023 at 10:32 pm

    I don’t know who made this list, but they need to be fired.



  14. Jett 2000 on September 24, 2023 at 10:33 pm

    Boca u an idiot



  15. J M M on September 24, 2023 at 10:34 pm

    None of these cars I think are ugly. I’m not saying these cars don’t have any other faults but design wasn’t one of them. I think the BMW E36 3-series was less attractive than any of these cars, despite being a better car than most on the list. Just never really liked the square headlight 3-Series Bimmer.



  16. Flash Timberwolf on September 24, 2023 at 10:35 pm

    I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The car on this list I found ugly is the 1996-1999 Ford Taurus. The other vehicles may have had their reliability issues, but they weren’t ugly.



  17. qwerty zxaszc on September 24, 2023 at 10:35 pm

    Yep. The 90’s by far had the ugliest cars ever. I do. not think there were any decent-looking cars in the 90s.



  18. mrmet5 on September 24, 2023 at 10:36 pm

    Love the SVX!



  19. Ryan Machtmes on September 24, 2023 at 10:36 pm

    The 90s fairly was, by and large and stylistically, the “bathtub era” of automotive design. It was, I think, dually about “aerodynamics” (also VERY surprised that this list omitted the Buick Riviera and its siblings as the epitome of this era) and a desire to differentiate stylings of cars versus the era’s (wildly popular) SUVs and pickups. Also stunned that this list omitted the PT Cruiser.



  20. Pedojoes Analorifice on September 24, 2023 at 10:37 pm

    The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq is the worst looking car of this century thus far.



  21. Raul Castillo Texas REALTOR on September 24, 2023 at 10:38 pm

    I must disagree with your opinion of the 94-98 Mustang . I have a 97 and get a lot of compliments on the styling and look of my Mustang. I personally love seeing as how I bought it for its design



  22. Gee Em on September 24, 2023 at 10:39 pm

    White Luminas. Blech.

    Also, I’d drive an Imperial if I could find one.



  23. schnuurtchke on September 24, 2023 at 10:39 pm

    My list goes like this: 1.1993 Toyota Previa: probably the ugliest minivan ever built 2. 1990 Toyota Celica looked like a Salvador Dali watch 3. 1993 Mazda Previa looked like a warped balloon 4. 1991 Mazda 323, Mazda made some nice looking cars in that decade, but this wasn’t one 5. 1990 Hyundai SCoupe tried to make a sports car out of an Excel 6. 1992 Subaru SVX video tells it all 7. 1993 Buick Riviera video tells it all 8. 1996 Ford Taurus 9. 1992 Oldsmobile Achieva probably one of the ugliest cars GM has ever built 10. 1995 Dodge Neon an ugly design. Honourable mention to 1992-94 Pontiac Grand Am, 1995 Buick Skylark, they were both ugly



  24. pablo isaac on September 24, 2023 at 10:43 pm

    To me chrysler imperial is one of the bests designs of 90s , is very elegant



  25. samuelxrc on September 24, 2023 at 10:43 pm

    50/50



  26. icy on September 24, 2023 at 10:43 pm

    I honestly agree



  27. Playverse TV on September 24, 2023 at 10:45 pm

    i hear people calling 80s cars the ugly ones because they were too boxy and plain and they didnt look like the 70s and 60s and so on



  28. The Ultimate SpaceGhost on September 24, 2023 at 10:46 pm

    I want to see the worst vans ever made. A top 10. Like the lumina apv or Aerostar.



  29. soulbrosampson on September 24, 2023 at 10:47 pm

    Unbelievable. You forgot the 1990 Ford EXP. I had that car



  30. settingsun34 on September 24, 2023 at 10:47 pm

    Holy crap this is an awful video



  31. BenDallas on September 24, 2023 at 10:52 pm

    I can’t see how the Monte Carlo or the Chrysler one is that bad….The others though I agree with lol…..I love the early to mid 90’s cars the best.



  32. Kevin Anderson on September 24, 2023 at 10:53 pm

    Dang, most of these cars look great! Please skip the ageism next time.



  33. AwesomeLee227 on September 24, 2023 at 10:54 pm

    I strongly disagree with this list. Most, if not all, of these cars are either bland, boring, or weird. BUT. NOT. UGLY.



  34. garebare48 on September 24, 2023 at 10:56 pm

    You forgot the Buick Roadmaster STATIONWAGON!!



  35. soulbrosampson on September 24, 2023 at 10:59 pm

    Unbelievable. You forgot the 1990 Ford EXP



  36. SpEd on September 24, 2023 at 11:00 pm

    About the only ones I can agree with are that Chrysler Imperial, the Ford Taurus and the Cadillac Catera. I think the rest of the list was just for comedy’s sake. The Caprice wasn’t even close to ugly, the Mustang… eh, The Monte Carlo and the Lumina were both wildly popular cars and almost universally accepted, and the Porsche was getting a little long in the tooth, so a facelift was in order, which they got right since they managed to modernize it a little but they also made sure that everyone knew what it was at first glance. The Subaru was ok looking too; definitely not one of their best efforts, but definitely not ugly. There was one more that I don’t remember, but I’ll get to it later when I have a little more time.



  37. Static_Tricolor_Camry on September 24, 2023 at 11:02 pm

    Most of them are cars I used too see on the roads in 80’s & 90’s they looked normal.



  38. dizzle fizzle on September 24, 2023 at 11:05 pm

    I love my monte and by 1995 standards it was a very nice looking car as was the lumina that’s why theys were so popular then! They out sold the "ugly" taurus.. which I personally liked the styling of aswell



  39. חובב בלון נייר כסף חובב בלון נייר כסף on September 24, 2023 at 11:08 pm

    90s, 00s, 2010s, 2020s cars are ugly I don’t like curvy design. 70s and 80s had the best design.



  40. peter papadimitriou on September 24, 2023 at 11:10 pm

    The Chev Lumina yes was bad but the ’94 mustang was ok



  41. CPT E B Hammonds on September 24, 2023 at 11:11 pm

    Iacocca saved Chrysler with the K car.



  42. Ryan Tidwell on September 24, 2023 at 11:13 pm

    I disagree with most of these cars being unattractive.



  43. Neutralis on September 24, 2023 at 11:15 pm

    The Imperial and the New Yorker are the same car. I owned an Imperial. I loved that car.



  44. Peter J. Uren on September 24, 2023 at 11:17 pm

    Ford gave Australia the Taurus in the late 90’s. It didn’t last very long.



  45. Jeff Strom on September 24, 2023 at 11:17 pm

    I like a lot of these. They have personality, much better than the host of suvs that all look like a high top shoe we have today.



  46. Brandon Willis on September 24, 2023 at 11:17 pm

    Chevy corsica.



  47. visionop8 on September 24, 2023 at 11:17 pm

    LOL! Loved this list! I was a kid in JR High and High School during these days and this is pretty much a list of the cars you didn’t want to be seen getting picked up from school in. Also on this list would have been the Pontiac Trans Sport or the 1994 Chevrolet Camaro. My friends used to say they looked like "big ass Geos". Not that I took it personal because they were making fun of my mom’s car or anything.



  48. Marc on September 24, 2023 at 11:17 pm

    not one of your better videos



  49. Jordi7174 on September 24, 2023 at 11:18 pm

    You mean to tell me that the Toyota Previa isn’t on this list?



  50. Derrick Logan on September 24, 2023 at 11:19 pm

    ALL of these cars got caught up in a huge circle of ugly! 90’s vehicles looked alike for the most part! As far as the Chrysler Imperial goes through, had I bought 1, the White Walls and Wheels would have been replaced with some "Old School" Cragers from the early 70’s and some Black Wall tires. I liked the style of the vehicle. FORD, as always, "had a better idea" which is why the Taurus was an Oval shape like most of the other Ass Ugly cars back then!!! The Caprice wasn’t bad looking when customized though, but those sorry excuses for a Lumina, Monte Carlo and Rivera truly SUCKED!!! These are the reasons why Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac bit the dust!!! GM became to arrogant and self absorbed that the Real Style Vehicle Designs we’re Destroyed!!! 😢 Such a waste of talent building all of that garbage!!! From 1992 until last Labor Day, I drove nothing but Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep Vehicles!!! Until I bought the 2015 Terrain, I kept my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo from 2003 until 2021!!!
