Top 10 Worst looking `07 Cars

1.GMC Acadia

Its pear-shaped rear end is enough to ensure that even the most aggressive of tailgaters give it some room on the highway.

2.Honda Element

The Honda Element divides the automotive c ommunity. There are those misguided souls who think it looks cool and stylish, and there are the realists who can plainly see that it looks like a cross between a UPS delivery truck and a garden shed.

3.Chrysler Aspen

Chrysler's strategy of naming its bloated minivan after a beautiful resort doesn't wash. With unfortunate styling cues like hood strakes and a huge, gaudy grille, they would have been better off calling it the Chrysler Fresno

4.Acura MDX

If Acura ever gets into designing boats, it will have a head start with the blueprint for its new MDX. With gunwale-like front fenders, a bowed front end, this huge car tires and a black-plastic bumper and spoiler, the MDX looks more ready for the high seas than the highway

5.Subaru Tribeca

Can you still hear the lambs scream ing, Clarice? Just the look of the Hannibal-Lecter-in-a-face-mask styling of the Subaru Tribeca with its trapezoidal snout and leering smile is enough to send shivers down the spine.

6.Chevy HHR

HHR apparently stands for "Heritage High Roof." It could equally stand for "Hyper Hideous Retromobile." Its bulging hood and protruding wheel arches make the popular panel van look like an outtake from the auto world's equivalent of Extreme Makeover.

7.Cadillac Escalade EXT

With its garish chrome wheels and fender t rim and its chopped-off rear end, the monstrous EXT is nearly as ugly as it is inefficient. We can only assume that the model is the most stolen car in America due to the work of some publicly spirited folks who are doing their best to rid the roads of this unsightly beast.

8.Kia Rondo

The Rondo may be able to hold a lot of passengers, but don't expect that your friends will want to catch a ride with you. With its bulbous profile, the wagon crossover looks like the love child of the Nissan Quest and the Toyota Yaris

9.Audi Q7

Audi Q7 If the Q7 is anything to go by, Audi should stick to designing cars. While the SUV does feature a nicely curved side profile, its massive front fascia and brawny grille hint at bulldozer from the front.

10.Nissan Quest

With its ungainly stance and distended profile, the Nissan Quest is the Quasimodo of the road. Its proponents point out that it can hold seven people. So can a hot tub, but you don't see people driving around in them.
