Car Talk (Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers on NPR) has the Prius v listed as one of the top ten ugliest cars on the road. They call it a "glorified dustbuster; function over form." Guess I have to stop kidding my son in law over the Aztec he once owned. BTW, the Nissan Juke is currently #1 on this subjective list.
I used to like listening to Car Talk ... unfortunately they've decided to remain in the 20th century and not evolve with the times ...
Listeners nominated the Top 10. "We asked you that question last week, and you didn’t hold back with your deplorably hideous nominations. Here they are! Now it’s your turn to vote for the dubious winner."
beauty is in the eye of the beholder. i'll take function over form anytime. otherwise, i'd be driving a cobra.
