Beauty may be in the beholder’s eye, but that’s not to say their vision is sound or taste finely calibrated.

Whether it’s the clothes you wear, your choice of home décor or the color you dye your hair, some choices are just more attractive than others.

Naturally, this is true in the automotive space and has been since day one. There are plenty of beautiful vehicles on the market today, but in spite of this favorable situation, more than a handful of styling disasters have made their way out of design studios.

    I'm not interested in watching a 6+ minute video whose information could have been digested in a 30 sec list.

      These guys are clearly blind and have no clue what they're talking about. Yes a few vehicles on this list are certainly hideous like the Toyota Prius. But anyone who think that the new LEXUS vehicles are good looking has to have their VISION CHECKED. I am the owner of 3 Lexus vehicles (a 2000 LS 400 - which is a beauty by the way, a 2014 ES 300h - which is fairly hideous, a 2014 GX 460 - also somewhat hideous) and a 2015 Toyota Corolla (fairly good looking). I would have to say that LEXUS with its spindle grille and odd ORIGAMI-LIKE mish mash of angles all over (think of the new RX 350) have some of the MOST HIDEOUS AND UGLY designs. The new RX 350 should have taken the NUMBER ONE spot on this list. These new Lexi are the dictionary definition of UGLY!! BTW, the Infiniti QX 80 is NOT ugly at all. It is reasonably good looking, although I would not touch it with a 10-foot barge pole because of its horrendous reliability!! I'm not sure what this guy is smoking!!

    I would add the Lexus' with the ugly front ends.
