Pictures - The 10 absolute ugliest cars of 2013

From ugly to ugliest, here are Bankrate's picks for the 10 ugliest cars of 2013. Price stats belong to TotalCarScore.com, and mpg estimates come from FuelEconomy.gov. For those makes with more than one model option, we chose the base model to feature.



Subaru Impreza


Price range: $17,895-$29,295

Mileage: 27 mpg city/36 mpg highway


If roads could talk, they would yell to drivers of these cars to never leave the house without a paper bag over their heads.


Kia Soul


Price range: $14,400-$19,900

Mileage: 25 mpg city/30 mpg highway


There's a reason hamsters star in the Soul's TV commercials. No human being should ever be seen operating this eyesore.


Lincoln MKZ


Price range: $35,925-$39,045

Mileage: 22 mpg city/31 mpg highway


What's up with this car's grille? It looks like Lincoln wanted to appeal more to Harvey Birdman than everyday drivers.


Hyundai Veloster


Price range: $17,450-$22,950

Mileage: 28 mpg city/37 mpg highway


Sorry, Hyundai, you lost several cool points for this one. Next time, finish designing the back of a vehicle before placing it in a dealer's showroom.


Fiat 500


Price range: $16,000-$22,500

Mileage: 27 mpg city/34 mpg highway


"Small" is not synonymous to "cute." The Fiat 500 looks like a bug that someone tried to squish but didn't finish the job.


Ford C-Max Hybrid


Price range: $25,200-$32,950

Mileage: 45 mpg city/40 mpg highway


The only thing sexy about this car is its fuel economy. Otherwise, hang your head in shame if it was ever on your list of possible purchases.


Smart fortwo coupe


Price range: $12,490-$14,890 (FuelEconomy.gov)

Mileage: 34 mpg city/38 mpg highway


Why would you want to buy a car that looks like it will topple over if you sneeze in its direction?


Toyota Prius Hybrid


Price range: $24,200-$39,525

Mileage: 51 mpg city/48 mpg highway


When you decide to become an eco-friendly driver, keep in mind you give up style in the process.


Nissan Cube


Price range: $16,760-$18,860

Mileage: 27 mpg city/31 mpg highway


If the Kia Soul is the car of the hamsters, guinea pigs can definitely claim this one.


Honda CR-Z Hybrid


Price range: $19,975-$23,805 (FuelEconomy.gov)

Mileage: 36 mpg city/39 mpg highway


Honda was clearly going for an aardvark look with this car's design. There's no other explanation for its disfigurement.
