2013: A Ssangyong Oddity
Published: March 1st, 2013

The world’s ugliest car, the Ssangyong Rodius, has gotten a new mug for 2013. Possibly the least anticipated debut at next week’s Geneva Auto Show, the pedestrian-friendly front end takes away some of the visual harshness of the former Middle Eastern minicab of choice, but the trademark inverted-triangle rear window remains. There’s plenty of forbidden fruit available elsewhere that we are not privy to. Some are worth coveting. This product isn’t one of them.

The world's ugliest car has to be the Nissan Joke. (Misspelling intentional.)
Well, the styling has definitely moved from Margaret Cho up to Minnie Driver.
Aw, they ruined it! The old front end was the only distinctive part worth keeping. I guess it's cheaper than changing everything from the windshield back, but it's like taking the satin ribbon off a pig and replacing it with a plastic bow tie.
You know, "Ssangyong Oddity" is actually a better (at least more apt) name for the vehicle.
