All the old car companies are pretending to care but they are more or
less forced into electric because of the internet and outsider
companies making real electrics.
Only thing holding back electrics now is production capacity.

Considering how many new cars are rolled out every year, it's no surprise
that a few might be just plain homely. There's a chance that certain styles
might become fashionable with a dash of retro hip. (Well, maybe not from the
1970s.) But for the most part, the following 50 cars will never be anything
but design duds...

I'd agree to most of them - but the Prowler and PT cruiser have a
form of "beauty" all their own, and the simple lines of both the Volvo
"brick" and the Chevette are rather timeless and not what I would call
UGLY.
The earlier version of the Pacer (without the lumpy grille) is a lot
LESS ugly than the later version - and having owned one and put up
with all the jokes, I must admit I kinda liked it.
I know, I have strange tastes. I liked early fifties Chrysler products
too (53 Coronet and 57 Fargo among others)
