> I thought that the Soul was a nearly unspeakably ugly vehicle

Don't start me on the Range Rover Evoque, which always reminds me of a Kia Soul at two to three times the price.




The Evoque! Good choice. But the king of butt-ugly cars, imho, is the Mercedes Benz AMG GLE 63s coupe. Had to look it up.

That car blows me away. It appears bulbous, expensive, paradoxically small in cargo space and utility yet large in appearance. It's got that subaru-outback style plastic trim (why does every vehicle have this??) which giving it a poseur outdoorsy look, but with a grille so large and paint so shiny that nobody could be fooled into thinking it has ever left incorporated city limits. A tree has never been reflected in its paint. It's curved like one of those bumblebee airplanes whose radial engine is larger in diameter than the fuselage is long -- and I believe -- since those airplanes fly -- that they do a better job cutting through the air than this thing.

BMW copied them because they sell well apparently. I will never understand.
