The ugliest car of all times…

Big and cheap to buy, which is why people buy it. But it is the most hideous, horrifying design I have seen in a loooong time, together with a few of the other Ssangyongs. Whenever I see them I feel an urgent need to vomit while at the same time make me violent.

Oh dear….imagine the concepts that were rejected!

This is the ugliest car ever designed. From any angle it looks like it was designed by some Chinese….oh wait…it was !

This car has got to win the WTF Car Award!

In face of some of the truly diabolical competition, the Rodius stands feet and ankles below EVERYTHING.
It is possibly the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen (even worse than a Ford Edsel) and I agree with anyone posting – before or after me – when they say that they’re violently ill on their laps when they come to overtake one.
One suggestion – can we bring together anyone who has ACTUALLY bought one of these and carry out scientific studies on them? Because I’m certain that the results would be both fascinating and scary…

This is definitely the ugliest most wretched looking car ever! Whenever I see one I wonder why the person has bought it. I’m surprised children get in them without being physically sick.

Worse… i know someone who actually drives it, who owns one, who can actually tell me with dry eyes how fantastically practical it is….
I stopped visiting him…

They eat dogs in Korea…nufff said

It really is a moose. What’s the point of doing a car like this anyway?

This is my vote without a doubt.

Oh god! Now that i have voted, i’m off to bleach my eyeballs!

This is simply shamefull…
How can anyone design something like this.
I bet theyr meeting where inside a craper, and thats where they got theyr inspiration. I really hope they never do something like this ever again. But leave it to Ssangyong to break theyr own records.

For all your friends who say “A car is just a way to get from A to B” give them one of these and they will quickly see why some of us care about style, engineering, quality, etc.

the car was that flimsey if you cornered too hard the rear door would open!!!

SsangYong is the WTF manufacturer of the year, so it immediately defines this as THE WTF CAR

You wouldn’t even tell the new one from the old one, their designers are lazier than the one’s at Porsche.
Any why would you buy it, you can spend you hard earned money on a car which does everything better.

this should definatly be the winner…stupid idotic car for baboons

What a hideous mass of awfulness. I thought the pictures were bad enough but the first time I saw one in the metal I just stared in appalled fascination. How could anyone build something like that, or more to the point buy it.

Despite some strong opposition, this has to be the winner. It’s an insult that they even tried to sell this to the public.

and to top it all off, the ssangYong website doesn’t work on a Mac!

Class!

Still hate the X6 more though.

Always brightens up a long drive when you pass one….it makes you laugh every time! In a league of its own….

I’m an happy person because I’ve never seen one on the street here in portugal. The uggliest car of all

And you should be happy! I don’t see how it can brighten up anything! Every time I see it on the motorway I start to uncontrollable weep and smack my head into the steering wheel…

I feel sick. please remove the photo.

It’s like someone made a perfectly ordinary car, and someone else put it into a compactor by mistake. Ouch.

why would you;
Design it?
Build it?
Sell it?
Buy it?
Drive it?

I can’t believe it made it passed the first stage let alone all 5!

I’d rather watch a wet t-shirt contest between John Prescott and Anne Widdecombe, than look at this foul and sadistic joke that Ssangyong have unleashed on the world.

When I saw it at first I thought someone build it at home in his shed by welding different cars together.

even the pontiac aztek looks good next to this thing!

I can honestly say that i have not seen such a boring and ugly car in quite some time (in fact, since i saw the first picture of it it when it was first released).

Who in their right mind would want to buy such an atrocity???

Well this makes the cars from VW Family look very original and inventive

This is by far the worst car on the market, possibly ever. And the excuse that its ugly but cheap is not justifiable. Their are several cars out there that are cheap but by no means anywhere near as ugly as this vile beast.
It should have no trouble wining this award.

its huge well equiped and bad to drive-why not buy the kia sedona then?or do what normal people do and buy a ford galaxy

i first saw photos of this car during its development and thought it would never go into production. A year or so later i saw one on the road, i was amazed, not only had it made production, but someone had actually bought one.
This is, with out doubt, the ugliest car ever produced! I am still amazed that its in production! This has to be the winner..

I`m sorry, WTF is this ??!! A reject from Dr Moreau`s island ??!!

AAAAARGH! looks like a hat and very ugly!

wtf uuuuuuhhuu

They should destroy a large number of of these horrid machines on the TG TV show. It would be doing a great service to motoring humanity.

And worse, ive seen them around my town. I’m off to staple my eyes to a mountain….

The worst car ever. Extremely ugly and pointless. Why would you buy this rather that any other people carrier?

Argggh, it burns my eyes, arggghhh

If you think they’re stupid for trying to sell this thing, what about the people who actually buy one!?! You must track one down and ridicule them as publicly as possible…

Rarely am i moved to write on any of these forums but this car is UTTER GARBAGE

You know, I think they’ve actually improved the front end from the first version. But it’s still a ghastly mess that puts tacky electrical gizmos over safety features. Dated in every way, and will cost owners dear. If you must have an MPV that cheap, buy something better used – it will still last longer, sell for more when you’re done, and you can keep your friends too!

Ssangyong must have repeatly hit this car with the ugly stick. There is surely no way that even the worst car designer in the world could make a car look so awful. Just look at the back end, it looks like they were going to go all BMW X6 on it, and then suddenly decided to stick an extra bit on top! This just has to be Top Gear WTF Car? 2009.

this has to be the worst and ugliest car ever made! one got past my street there were people fainting on the pavement due to its ugliness!!!!(really!!)

This is definately the ugliest car ever. Id much rather walk on a mile of hot coals than sit in the back of one of those nauseous things.At least Id keep my dignity. And I wouldnt be sick. If my parents owned one of these Id get bullied.

The only thing that i can think of that this is cooler than is a quantum physics PHD LoL, sorry to those with quantam physics PHD’s

I have this on my cool wall, its 4 metres away from seriously uncool, coz its in 3 pieces on the oven

And what kind of name is ssssyangyong. can anyone say it properly??

surprisingly this car is actually uglier in real life than in the picture

It’s ugly, it’s very ugly. You can compare it’s ugliness with Actyon or maybe even with Peugeut 4007, wich aswell would fit perfectly in here. I’ve tried too find anything good on that car and I just failed.
Maybe when they put a pencil on the paper for this car they’ve had a big window in front where they could see a big horse s**t

A 3 year olds scribble!
The Rodius is the definition of hideous!

OK, I’m tired, so I can just make my eyes lazy and make this all blurry… good.

Actually, if you look at the window line (using heavy-duty eye protection), towards the back, you can see they were going to make an X6-style coupe-ish version of something else, but then decided to make it all square instead so they could actually make a positive claim of some kind (practicality). So why didn’t they use an eraser on the window line and draw it in properly? Careless, glaring details like this set it apart from Japanese MPVs (not our ones, search for their home products) in terms of ugliness.

Some wannabe motoring programme on Sky Pie actually proved that an average family prefers a Renault Espace to a Ssangyong Rodius after a twin test WHILE BLINDFOLDED!!

Ssangyoug Rodius- noun, car wuth Medusa-like properties (if you look at it, you will die quicker than the Stig drives a Ferrari.) This car carries a serious warning to anyone with sight.

It makes small children cry.

this is simply the ugliest car i have ever seen. i would rather drive an fso polonez. this car should be taken off the market and sanasyong’s chief designer should be put in prison,:)

this “car” was designed specifically for the chinese and not the european market it is based on mercs E range technology and tryes to capitalise on that heritage alone, untill 2002 mercedes denied them the right to export these freaks to europe because of the merc features incorporated into the shape of the “design”. If there ever were paralympics for cars this one would definately grab all the gold. It is RETARDED, a mongoloid idiot,an xxyy chromosomed hermafrodite freak, ..kinda like the bearded lady and in some twisted way I think that is cool.. even the name SsangYong, means double dragon !!!!! total skizzo ! the ultimate WTF MOBIL !!!!

omw, this car is just fugly. How on earth could any design team approve this?

I’m wondering who thought to themselves “Yes, this is a good looking car and will sell shitloads”, well, whoever you are, you were wrong.

Hideous…simply hideous… whoever designed this should be fired, and then shot, and have their body given to a pack of wild dogs.

But maybe the designer was blind. Maybe. Or maybe they designed the car for blind people. Or something.

Looks like it was hand stitched by a blind Albanian six year old.

The ugliest car ever designed. Ever.

i think it was designed by the same lady who was helping jezza with his merc in an very old ep.

i’m not the first to say this but arrh stop it take it away it’s burning my eyes,scarring me for life etc
it is just xtremly, catastrophicaly and undeniably REPULSIVE and UGLY. that is why i think it’s worthy winner.

comment no.2: I am in the middle of a debate against the death penalty but i may be able to find a small loophole for the designer who created that monstrosity.

This has to be the WTF winner as the most ugly and the most nasty!

OH MY GOD! I understand that most american cars tend to be cheap and poorly built…. but at least there are none of these monsters on the road here in the colonies. Please Please Please God, do not let Ssongyang decide to sell cars in the States. I fear I may have to kill myself if I saw one of these cruising the Freeway.

As bad as all the other cars here are, this one just has to win. Even worse than the Sebring convertible, just for being that truly hideous.

it looks like it belongs in the 1990’s and even if it were made then it would still be ugly

hideous, how could they look at that at the design stage and think ” you know what, i think we’ve done it, lets go get a coffee”, how, just how.

i think they designed this by looking a a DB9 and doing the exact opposite. if you look at it that way it’s a success. i can’t help but ask…….WHY??

Shows the Koreans are getting more skilled at car styling – they can now make a car even uglier than the BMW 1-series.

If a three year old designed this we’d all be saying how good it is… which only goes to prove we patronise our children too much.

Many have claimed this is the ugliest car ever. Sorry, no. The 1960s Zeta still claims that title.

http://www.microcarmuseum .com/tour/zeta-runabout.h tml

I don’t believe this was designed – it’s really a pile of fossilised dinosaur poo that eroded over millions of years. Then someone dropped a Volvo estate on it. Unusual to find rear mudflaps fitted as standard.

Its looks like the designer lost interest and just shoved the back end of another car onto it just to get it finished.

Whole heartily deserves the WTF? award!!!!!!!!!!

That looks like a camel’s sister with really bad gingivitis!!!

It’s hundred thousand times uglier than a hearse and since it was motivated by the luxury yacht, may be we should take it to middle of the sea and drop it. To see if it floats like the boat.

I am going to press charges against Ssangyong for putting a vomit stain in my carpet.

this is in a class of its own *blech

Why didn’t they go the extra mile and name it the Hideus (or Hideous). I mean, why not?

One of the patrons at my regular pub actually owns one! I never could grasp why – mainly because I was busy with trying to keep my dinner to myself – but then I saw that guy’s wife and some things became clear… If this thing is a car, a pile of dog’s excrement could rightfully claim to be a tasty pizza.

oh dear… that car looks like sadness.

Honestly WTF is this car all about. The bloke who designed it must have been some kind of joker out for a laugh. You can just picture the meeting where they decided what design would be used – a load of blind people sitting round a table shouting yes at the funniest bloke to walk through the door. But honestly who the hell would buy a ssangyoooonangawang anyway.

This thing is so ugly ill rather walk or use anykind of public transport available just not to be seen near or in one of these.

i live here in the philippines, and i see a lot of them running in our streets. i just wonder what their owner were thinking that they bought it. i pity them

This is the ugliest car of all time

Uglyest car ever!I`d rather walk with gangreen in my feet!

Looks like something so ugly it hasn’t been invented.

WTF CAR OF THE YEAR!!!!

I currently live in Korea and have to say that between the big 4 (Hyundai Kia Samsung/Renault SSangyong) here SSangyong is dying fast. The Rodious has to be “THE UGLEIST CAR I HAVE EVER SEEN and test driven”…..

the other cars are almost ok, their brothers/sisters are better looking and better cars, BUT HAVE YOU EVER SEEN a nice looking SSanyonGG? NEVER!! This car doesn’t have a big brother to help him out by shooting him and leave him in the forest. This will deff. be the WTF car of the Year ( for at least 3 years in a row, lol )

Most horrible looking car EVER!

This should win the WTF award.

the looks of it says all ….
it should also have the award of ugliest car of the year ….

The only people who would buy this car would have to be blind and as they arent allowed to drive, we can be thankful that there wont be many off these on the roads!

Just no.

Who in their right frame of sanity will buy this?! What was Ssngyong thinking? What is Ssnagyong doing as a car manufacturer anyway? They should be building the ugly flame guns instead…
I could have designed a better car for 10 bucks…

Just seen one of these whilst walking and almost burst out laughing. Truly hideous, misproportioned beast. It’s obviously taken some style cues from the Mercedes A-class and Toyota Picnic – not the best starting point – and has got hopelessly confused as to when to stop growing. Remarkably revolting!

SsorryWang

This is one of those cars which actually makes me stop in my tracks laughing and going ‘WHAT WERE THEY THINKING’ Who the hell is ssangyong anyway? its trying to be every single shape possible… Is it a cube? Is it a sphere? No its another piece of cheap junk worthy of the WTF award! … yay!:D

the front is ugly, but the back is pain to my eyeballs,the design team gets an “A” for bravery

Urgh, it is actually making me feel physically sick just looking at the thing. Take it away and burn it

Its ugly, noisy, made of plastic, hopeless to drive and out of date. Maybe the enginer was satan?

hideous car, shame it has ever been made, even more shame that it is still produced.

I’m with TomR. I’d love to see a Q&R with the designer of this car to understand he/she/it didn’t rather use the clay for the mock-up to make bowls for the local soup kitchen. An interview with owners would also be fascinating, especially if they get defensive which they probably will. If this wins, do you think you could do it?

Only Fiat Multipla is its strong competitor…

OMG, how desperate does one have to be to buy that?! Owning one of these is what I call masochism and total lack of self-respect. End of story.

Umm, you couldn’t give this away to charity.
Horrible design, and I have no doubt it drives like *beep* and is built like brick …

Worst of all the nominees.

I meant it’s horribly built.

do ssanyonggyssannsyong(?) have any pride in what they make? that is the car equivalent of impotence. it says you have given up on life and all its joys.

Ssangyong is the worst car company ever !

Did we even need to vote? I think the ‘winner’ was pretty clear from the start 108 posts !

yuo it´s a winner ! btw , those of you who want the “designer linched” forget about it, you´d have to take out the whole of the ssangyong building. This thing was “designed” by a group of engineers, each was given certain task..” ake it look like a merc”.. when they were all finished they simply stuck all the bits together the all mighty CEO okayed it and the arketing department chucked it on the market and it has actually sold unbelievably well in asia. Like I said about the paralympics : even if you win, you´re still a retard !!

for all the retards who might be up here,and according to my wife simply being here would qualify, Sorry and ..tough luck :Q aand sorry about the spelling..

i shouldn’t justify this monstrosity with valuable typing time.

definitely a worthy winner

There’s no excuse for that kind of ugliness…

terrible…no other words to describe it

btw why isn´t audi´s R8 up here ??? or the cayenne ??? Rangerover Sports, sunk with 22″ lowprofiles wtf ??????????????????????
it´s easier to come up with which cares aren´t wtf nowadays:D even the new m3 would qualify if u ask me and I LOVE Bimmers!

yay ssangyong!

Only a blind can byu this thing!

It’s uglier than ugly – and clearly marketed by a management stuck in a 1950s time warp.

This hideous beast gets my vote.

stupid car!!!

this car is so rubbish,it makes a proton impian look good.

The ugliest, most disgusting and despicable excuse for an automobile ever to exist.

it looks like they put a fog and a kia picantto togeather and the front will put you off your tea or dinner for months and its massive to big to be onist and ill rather blow the dam thing up and crush it with a challenger2 tank

THE UGLIEST THING ON THE ROAD… How could the law allow these things?

Probably the ugliest car ever, and even more probably the worst car ever!! I’m not sure if this is a car or a piece of crap… lol

How could anyone think giving it the profile of a Prius, stretching it skywards and then, upon realising a stretched Prius looks as appetising as a steaming turd, then think it would be a good idea to stick a Toblerone on the back to make it look like a Prius estate. I am shocked and appalled.

Second only to the ‘99 Fiat Multipla…it looks like they actually designed a hatchback and just decided to add a shed to it in the last minute.

Definitely the…winner?

it’s just awfull

ssangyong is such a lousy car manufacturer you should make a categoy of WTF AWARDS just for them.ssangyong can start to put this award in their tv adds, you know, below the picture. ex: ’ssangyong.winner of the wtf award for the last 5 years’.

com’on people!

THIS IS THE ONE!
THIS IS SO F****D UP!
IT LOOKS LIKE A HIPPO…ONLY HIPPOS ARE CUTE AND THEY DRAW YOUR ATTENTION.

the thing is that what makes it look sooooo wtf is that it actually looks like a merc…
if it just looked like a daewoo or a get highNdie no one would´ve cared it could only be topped by sticking an AMG badge on it….powered by mercedes benz.. hahahahahahahaha

btw what is even more thought evokeing is that production, from design to assembly is actually monitored and run by Hansi from Stuttgart… scary!

simply terrible

Luckily, they are hard to find here in the Netherlands.

did you all notice how much WTF is linked to Merc on this site ? : ssangyong,maybach,chrysle r sebring.. I think we´ve got a new WTF mastermind ..and it lives in Stuttgart… freaky!!

the mercedes WTF series, AMG must be shitting their pants

This car is a disaster area. I’ve seen many dreadful design ideas in my life, but this wagon/whatever the hell it’s supposed to be, is just quite simply a epic failure. It looks like a Rhino thats been at the cakes for too long, then put the weight on at the rear. This car fully deserves the WTF Car Award, I can’t think of any other car more deserving.

There is no doubt that this is the ultimate WTF? winner – it looks like the ugliest bits of every car ever produced combined, like when you get lots of bits of different coloured plastecine and squash it all together.

This car is so bad it starts wars.

Ssangyong, please, just give up.

Ssssshh!.. it’s beautiful!!!!
Ive waited years to see a sight so magestic, so steeped in beauty and tradition!

Hey wait a minute, can someone please remove that s..s..s..angry..yong out of my beach scene!!! Its ruining the sunset!

why would anyone drive one of those i would rather take the bus

It`s a lovely car!The design is superb!It will stand the test of time with flying colours!If i didn`t know better,i would guess Gordon Murray designed it!A stroke of genious.And the down-tuned engine from BMW M5 is a jem.So balanced,so forgiving when u drive it on the edge!Pure eyecandy!And the interior quality is bar none.Only the best!Of the sh.t the other korean carmanufacturers threw away,that is!This car is a rolling offence to everyone who doesn`t have time to cover their eyes when it comes down the street.It can`t be UP the street,because the sluggish piece of diesel-s..t isn`t up to the job at hand,wich is pulling this eyesore UP a hill:Just shoot the car,AND the retard who designed it!Set the factory on fire!And offer counciling to victims who have been whitin a 100 yards of it.

take the bus ??? I´d rather get shot!! ..than take the bus, I´d take the sangy any day just to take the piss:D

this is why some don`t believe in the presents of intelligent life in the universe…this along french cars of course

You cant help but have an inner debate with yourself when you see this car;

What’s worse: This or Chlamydia???

So I said id try both… the first was horrible!!!!

Now i must test my strength in the ca.. ca..
No!!! Still cant call it a car!!

Want a people carrier? What about an estate? Prefer a coupé? How about a sensible sedan? The Rodius looks like all of them, but has the benefits of none.

I queasily nominate the Rodius for WTF? Frankencar of the Year.

Thats one wonderfull piece of art! I dont mean that, do i? I mean thats one of worst machines ever built and it is certainly the worst now.

I’m sorry but this car is so ugly that if I don’t vote for it i’ll throw my self off a bridge. Ugly ugly ugly UGLY car.

Hidious.

You know what. I’ll have to cast my vote here simply because this car actually hurts the eyes and is the reason why innocent people lose their eyesight.

Pretty hideous. I don’t think even a mother could withstand this.

It still astounds me that someone agreed to spend any amount of money to design this.Even worse that someone else willingly agreed to part with their hard earned cash to buy one! I have yet to see a Ssang Yong that doesn’t look like it was designed by a three year old. It’s so fugly, that it doesn’t even deserve to win this title, in fear that Ssang Yong use it as some kind of a marketing tool. Please TG, treat them like caravans, and destroy as many as you can!!!

and i thought fat guys in budgie smugglers was the worst most disgusting unhumanly thing in the world!!! this is terrible…
WTF!!!

Was the designer dead when he drew this up? I mean, I’m fifteen years old with practically no art skill and I’m still sure that Ssangyong could have sold more of these if they’d hired me as the designer. Maybe they hired my dog!?

Oh, this is the Ssangyong Rodius? I thought this was the second generation of the ever popular Pontiac Aztek! My mistake.

Well, at least you have a lot of head room!

I think that this car is ****

Absolutely horrendous! I read somewhere they wanted it to look like a yacht but even if it were a yacht I wouldn’t consider coming near it, let alone buy it.
This is about as bad as it gets, or so I hope!

What a festering turd of a thing. Utterly repulsive in every way conceivable.

frankly, if i had over-bred to such an extent as to need one of those things, i think i’d do that converted 1960’s ambulance things first. myself. with nothing more than white emulsion and duct tape.

There is no way that this car looses this competition! I mean really…

Gotta be the Sssssannnyyyoong. I overtook one of those the other day on the Autobahn, literally burst out laughing while driving alongside and pointing my finger at the fool behind the wheel. The Aveo is a stong contender as well, but there’s no way for the Rodius to lose this competition.

Ssangyong made an afwul car… As usual!

Sexiest car ever!

Classic Merc front end and bangle bum featuring dorma-bungalow effect. All it needs is some 20’s and led lights.

I’m actually completely unable to name a car half as ugly… In fact, I’m so stunned by the Rodious’s ugliness that I’m unable to name any other car at all! The Cayenne and the R-class know when they’re beat!

Someone at Ssangyong has bad vision… or maybe a cruel sense of humor…

Hmmmmmm…nice… if your blind.

someone down my road has one of these, why??? i dont want to confront him about it because he seems to love it- he also has a DB9, why cramp ur style? sell the rodius and drive the aston

Why would you buy this thing? It’s ugly and awful. Why would you buy a car which looks like it has a burnt thong for a face?

I’m from Oz and we bought an 08 Stavic. I don’t get all the fuss. I’m comfortable and so are the kids, actually probably more than we are. So it looks a little funny, it depends on what one makes of it. I’ve gotta say one thing better the Stavic than the other Tin Can MPV’s I see around ie the Tarago, the Carnival and the king of sardine cans the Odyssey. Hyundai are showing the way with the I-Max though now they’re starting to listen to the families who have to sit in the things.

the Koreans have finally lost it..not like they did already..

this is definitely the WTF car.

if you ever see an angry mob these days, look ahead and u’ll see one of these ssangyong things…

oooookay…..wtf?

exactly

I think this car should get the WTF award.

I’d never thought I’d say this: I would rather have a Prius.

Class of its own, indeed…

Guys, they are all JUST awful.

It’s like trying to choose which polished turd is most attractive. They all make me heave. This car is so squat and plastic, it looks like a childs wind up car that has been enlargened.

this car is so terrible its designed by a hamster who is blind domented and gay that has no sence this car sucks!

This car deserves to be the WTF, by far.
It beats the socalled Chevrolet, it beats the MGF, it beats the Jeep, it beats the BMW x6, it beats the “Cube”, it beats the Pluriel, it beats the Sebring, it beats the F1 car, it beats the Merc, and it certainly beats the Maybach.
Think of the adverts, The Ssangyoung Rodius, the 2009 Top Gear WTF car.

Obviously the designer lost his protractor when he got to the back end.

This car is so fugly that i had to vote on him again. It really is repulsive

WTF?? How could they even approve such a horrifying design like this?? Even a small kid could draw better cars than that!! And the name!LOL!! This “thing” has GOT to win the WTF car? award hands down!

I bet the boss of Ssangyong is blind

I`ve just lost my will to live…

Someone should have just said STOP!!!! If they had left that curvy X6 like line down the side off and just made it a big box, it’d be dull but at least not offensive… As for the front end Arrrgh.

I have lost any faith in humanity.

It looks like an undertaker’s car. I think Clarkson should do a piece on TG about this particular model and expose the managers, designers, marketing guys, etc who are responsible of such a (for want of a more fitting word) dreary car.

It’s like the horrible results of a dubious liaison between a BMW X6 Estate (if there were such a thing, well there’s a BMW for every other use) and a Mercedes C class. But I don’t think it’s a WTF “winner”.

Oh dear…we’ve hit an all time low…or at least on par with the Japanese cars, especially the older ones, which were basically European copies…

This is definitely the wtf winner(even of the 21st century)!!! It’s the most useless piece of shit I ever seen on the roads. Who buys this???

Every time I see one I’m stopped in my tracks. It really is the ugliest car ever

I want to puke, get it out of my screeeeeeeeeeen!!!!

worst car ever, and the worst of all is that people are stupid enough to buy it.

cheers

Thankfully I haven’t seen too many!! But the one or two I have seen… Wow. Why would anyone spend money on such a thing?? Even my neighbour’s dog is smart enough to dislike this “thing”

This has to be the winner. It is soooooooooo….. ugly they deserve it just for that. Then it’s rubbish as well. No competition !!

This is the ugliest thing ever to be put on for wheels. No further explanation needed. This is TG’s WTF car.

Ssangyong
Chrysler
Mercedes
Is there a common link?
Somebody should find the Dr.CarEvil who is doing the damage.

WTF indeed!

I am glad this is the most commented car! Out of all of them, this has got to the be worst, anybody who buys one of these deserves to have their licence taken away! Not only is it ‘FUGLY’, it’s got to be terrible to drive as well! There is not one positive to take away apart from space… and there’s plenty of that on a bus…

to the people who have baught this car: what happened once u actually got a brain transplant and looked at it again?

this has my vote.

my vote 4 WTF car.. ssangyong rodius..WTF

It looks as though it would be at home on the pages of a comic book. No, wait, too ugly even for that…

just why does it exist……why? if blind people could dive they could use this cos they can’t se it, but as they can’t it has no possible reason to exist….truley wrong!!

this can not be the winner of the WTF award as they have always made rubish ugly cars. if you give this award to this car you have to give it to the whole range. a car can not be punished for what it can not help. this is why rhe bmw should be the recipient as bmw should know betyer.

Some say, that when it gets on a motorway, the road surface sheds tears of asphalt; and the population of the town where they make these things, has the highest suicide rate on earth.
All we know is, its bloody soul-destroying.

Perhaps the designers made it so ugly to serve as a warning not to buy it because the rest of the car is even worse.
Or Ssangyong is conducting some social experiment to see what sort of people would buy such a car when there are 1000s of other, better choices (1 of which would be a 1970s beige Morris Marina).

There’s worse, you know.
Probably disqualified from here, as it’s not sold in Europe (apparently there is a level of idiocy to which even the US car industry will not stoop).

The Pontiac Aztec.

Not content with having taken an extensive battering from the ugly stick, it also falls between two stools being useless as both an MPV and an SUV. To add insult to injury, received wisdom indicates it also comes with build quality and reliability levels that would have failed to pass muster at the old Triumph plant in Speke.

I’m not posting a link as there are rules here about linking to unpleasant content.

What i thought when I seen this car for the first time… It was on a golfcourse of all places… was WTF!!!!

This is a munter car.

A Great Top Gear Challange would be to desroy one.

This car actually makes me angry…

Gets my vote.

Wonder how many they’ve sold.

This really is one of the worst designed cars for a very long time. It may be cheap and big, but there is so much better transport for your money, especially if you buy nearly new. Why wouldn’t you buy a second hand S-max instead?! I think whoever buys one of these really need their heads checking, that goes the same to whoever buys a perodua kenari, another example of a godawful sh*t box that bears its face on UK roads, another total waste of time!

Looks like a BMW X6 with a greenhouse on the back…maybe that’s where Bangle got his inspiration?

Vomit inducing, and not many “cars” can do that to you. Time for a game of conkers?

Just looking at it has actually made me sick
WTF

The question on the lips of the nation: What size skip would be sufficient for dropping 50ft onto one of these? TopGear could you please answer this question?!

Seriously, I actually need to accompany this page with a picture of a woman (or an Alfa 8C) to prevent violent projectile vomiting. Although, a Pontiac Aztec is actually worse. I need page 3 to get over that! (Or an 8C Spider)

The ugliest car ever!

basically, whenever I want to keep fit or on a diet, yet eaten too much…I search Google for this, it works, ladies, trust me, everything down will come back and spill out no matter size, shape or volume.

If you took Jordan’s £3,000 t*t’s away, chiseled off the render, eh voila, Ssangyong.

It looks like a post crash X5 being humped by a caravan. It is so wonderfully hideous you cannot help but chuckle when you see one…before the convulsions of laughter just become convulsions…….

…….they are the kiddy-fiddlers vehicle of choice………look at the driver next time you see one. Seriously.

Did you know the Koreans can buy it with four rows of seats? Kinda clever, so 11 people don’t have to see it from the outside…

…………..we wouldn’t even blow one up. Semtex is too expensive what with the credit crunch thingy. Maybe just starting it would be enough……..

“Sir, yes sir, but sir if we drive it down Jihad Street sir the insurg…inserg….incurj….th e towel heads will lock themselves away sir……!!”

I like it, it makes me look rather appealing when I stand next to it….

….”Dang Paw, look at this heer ve-hee-icle, it done look like its Paw sha*gged his sister!!!!”

” Dammit Son, this aint right, get Daddy his shotgun….”

The car that fell from the very top of the ugly tree, hitting every branch on the way down. It’s about as attractive as herpes and would probably be harder to get rid of.

Thankfully, we don’t get this garbage on our shores.

This car just doesn’t seem to have a redeeming feature!!

Sorry guys,

Posts 221, 222, 224, 225, 226, and 227 were my doing. I couldn’t help it though, I was doubled with laughter at that picture and had to vent my frustration, I may have wee’d myself a little too……..again, sorry.

Don’t mock Ssangyong they’ve just invented a new market segment, the “comedy crossover”.

I can only think of two possible reasons something like that could ever make it to production:

1) Ssangyong HQ bought some “heavily” tainted Chinese milk powder, for their office coffee machines.

2) The windows in their design studio are made with fragments of the mirror once used by the Queen, from Snow White.

Wow, did anyone buy one of these with their own money? Yes, A to B is all they got to do, but sweet baby Jesus… Bet the owners of these things use them to tow caravans.

One must try to make something this ugly. Its not an accident that it’s THIS bad.

This is a minger of a car

Imagine the Ssangyong dealer… the importer calls him on the phone and says “hey, you know how the Musso was a bit ugly, well don’t worry because just wait till you see our swoopy new blue sky designed replacement.” Then it arrives on the transporter. Poor guy.
Who had the stomach to find out it was poor to drive as well??
Definitely WTF winner.

I believe this car is one of the most drab looking cars I have ever seen!

I kinda like it. Maybe it’s an acquired taste, like a car only a mother could love type a thing. Ohhhh.. c’mere my precious.

I now keep two blunt spoons in my handbag… Better to gouge both my eyes out with blunt spoons than risk seeing one of these in the flesh!

(Spoons should also come in handy to gouge out the brains of the numpty* who bought it. It’s the only way to kill Ssangyong zombies…)

*I used the word numpty as this is a family forum!

Further proof that the only thing Korea excels in is failure.

So many so bad. But this is the worst.

I think this car may have been designed by fishkeepers, whose mollies interbred and produced offspring whose dorsal fins were much further back on the body, just above the tail.

So, when searching for inspiration for a spacious van/saloon mismatch, they drew this.

How can this car still be on sale? and above all, what makes people BUY this car?? yes! you can drive it with very tall hats and look even more stupid!

The old Scorpio and the current Micra are truly ugly cars, but this one…. Actually, it isn’t that bad from the front, but WTF happened at the back?! HOW does a car that the vast majority of people think looks a mess get built in the first place?

This car would probably give you cancer.

I was out for a night on the town here in Dublin one night, and by the end of it I was in need of a taxi (as you do). I decided to wait for another to come along as opposed to getting into this monstrosity. It is the ugliest, stupidest, most annoying waste of space I have ever seen trundle along the streets of Dublin… This HAS to be the WTF winner…

Stevie Wonder’s eyesight clearly is not the best, but the man has some style and is loved by many. Why then did nobody think to ask him to style this awful thing? It would have looked so much better than this boiled sweet with part of a cardboard box stuck on the back for good measure. My worst fear is that in that in these eco-friendly times this car might be recycled and end up reappearing for decades to come, why not just keep one…..in a museum perhaps as a sign of what might have happened to the car maker. As for the other one or two that might have been bought…. the government should offer to refund the purchaser’s money and lock them away from human eyesight, except for the designer perhaps who can go with the etch-a-sketch he designed the car on into the same cavern.

Is it a car ?

Ive done turds that look better than this thing.

That brand (which I don’t even want to mention) have to for sure make the ugliest thing (not cars) on this planet. Therefore they should abn this cars from leaving Korea. The ugliest cars ever made by anyone.

What an earth was the designer (clown) thinking when he penned the design for this Frankenstein of a vehicle. I have had the miss fortune of seeing one of these and earlier models and narrowly missed hitting the central reservation on the M25 everytime (whilst trying to catch a peak at the blind driver). This is a prime example of a manufactured cut and shut car for the medically insane. Why can’t designers produce cars for the masses that people want to drive and be seen in e.g. The potential new Mercedes Gullwing SLK and my favorite at present the Aston Martin Vantage. Rant over must get back to work.

Whats that protuding out of its back? the hunchback of God-Knows-Where? Too many lines up its side, whats with the styling? It really looks huge and ugh-ly!!!

OMG how many comments is there. Wait a second THE CAR IS RUBISH

i really hate this car. and i imagine the people who bought it with 2-wheel drive hate it too.

Possibly the ugliest car of all time – narrowly beating the Cayenne Turdo, some 1970’s BL offerings and several eastern European efforts of similar vintage. But it’s not the worst…it has a point! You can, if you really want, fill it with lots of people and their luggage and go somewhere – people may laugh at you and children may point but you can always wear a false beard and hat. The BMW X6 has less point and there is no disguise to stop people treating you like a Wayne, Coleen, David or Victoria so I’m afraid X6 gets the vote. Sorry Rodent

Please provide me with one bucket of industrial strength bleach and one regulation scrubbing brush. My eyes need a wash.

what were they thinking i cannot believe that thing is road legal! i have seen prettier dog vomit than that! and WTF with the name: ssangyong rodius?? i don’t even know if that was spelt correctly but what is it japenese for? i look like a flattened elephant and you would have to cut the right half of your brain out to buy me???

WHY WAS PROTON OR PERODUA NOT ON THE LIST!!!! >:-(

THEY ARE COMPLETE C*** AND ARE THE WORST CARS IN THE WORLD!!!

I LIVE IN MALAYSIA AND WE ARE PRACTICALLY FORCED TO BUY PROTONS AS TGEY PUT HUGE TAXES ON ANY OTHER CARS! (despite this i do not own a proton!) YAY

ewwwwwwwww

why?

i mean how did the man who ok’d such an ugly car as this get to where he is today without someone noticing that he is obviously very blind? did he smell it and think “yes, that’s the design we want, i assume it looks lovely” or did the designer draw it with a blindfold and some braille?

actually, come to think of it its like someone has got a puzzle made up of different shapes that’s meant to come together and make a square and they’ve just mixed them all up, traced the lines between the pieces, and just made what they got!!

it’s just hideous!!!

I’d like to know who actually buys these – I’ve only ever seen one (thank god) and that was a taxi – so people can be sick in it after a long night out drinking and then having to look at that botched rear end. Just what it deserves.

Is it me, or does the back end look like an X6 with a loft extension ?

OMG definate my vote

Even it’s name is ugly

Voted

I think I’ve just threw up! A dead ant eater can do something better than that!

What a wonderful peace of craftsmanshit!

I hope they didn’t pay a designer!

I coulda made that fugly thing for a tenner

Definitely deserves the award!!

Real shame that Rodius was actually designed by Ken Greenley who used to run the transportation design school at London’s Royal College of Art.

I have seen better looking piles of dog waste.

I drove one once (once was enough!) it scared the crap out of me. It handles like a barge carrying the QE2, a real white knuckle ride! and my first 1977 Fiesta was better made!!!

why… just why… was this car made?

what the hell is it for?
car darts perhaps?
burning?
being flinged off of a cliff?
Why dont u guys at top gear do one of those things if u hate it so much?
or u could buy 1 and improve it as a top gear challenge…

or u could catapolt one at the fifth gear studio!?

somebody should make a top gear videogame again!

i know there was one before but videogames have moved on now.

just make sure u put it on ps3

this car has no redeeming features at all

Its clear that Ssangyong took a look at their empty trophy case and realised that they were prity good at making rubbish cars. Announcing the revamp of their range they went into deep research and reflection…
I believe one researcher stubbled on a book about reverse psychology and applied this knowledge to car making. Concluding that by making a car so ugly and illfit for its purpose it would alter the space time continuum and appear good.
The Rodius is that car.
Please give Ssangyong this award in the hope that they will never do it again

Umm…
No I’ve seen mini’s that could carry more people and well it can’t be classified as a car because.

Ssangyong says it’s luxurious and it has a 2.7L diesal engine defiantly not a real car. Also its expensive and over where i live they call it something different. The Stavic. Yes changing the name really made me more interested in buying this contraption. Well in my opinion they changed the name so the amish people wouldnt laugh as much.

I’m still negatively stunned by such a non-design everytime I see it (or every other Ssangyong for that matter)
