Sorry but some of those in the Top 100 are in the running for Ugliest Car.

Hate to say it but this list is strongly influenced by misguided patriottic bias  ;)

Lamborghini Muri anyone?
 very beautifull of course very few italian cars in that class are ugly.
The first choice if I had the money would be a 300SL gullwing, but I will settle for my 280SL no slouch and still very attractive to this day.

Agree with Peter some strange cars apprearing there. Also No 70 is wrong the Duetto is not the most beautiful Alfa Spider the Giulietta was far more beautiful!! (imho)

Having had a few Giuliettas myself, including 750F early veloce, I couldn't agree more.  It is a beautiful car, if perhaps a bit overdone on the chrome end for such a small car.  Also, obviously the most enjoyable car I've driven.

the list lost all credibility when the ford granada out rates the 113.  Put them next to each other on the street and they point and laugh at the granada
