I looked up the definition of “Fugly”. There it was: Subaru Tortoise.

Ewww... 
A Honda N360 seems more appealing...
But IMHO is this the peak in abomination:

The Pacer was actually a pretty clean design with an oversized "greenhouse." Without A/C the interior would probably get blazing hot on summer days.
The Pontiac Aztec was well qualified as Fugly. Too many of the pieces didn't seem to belong on the same car!

The Pacer was a clean design. The large greenhouse made it a fave with the ladies as they could see out of the car. AMC had some decent vehicles back in the day. They were the Rodney Dangerfield's of the automotive world, "no respect" Then they hooked up with Renault and it was downhill from there.....

When Nash-Kelvinator bought Hudson in 1954, they created "American Motors" and along the way, they also acquired Studebaker, Packard, Kaiser, and Willys. Why a corporation would want to acquire more failing brands is a mystery. Did they have a false hope of "economy of scale" by sharing parts between brands?
Willys became Jeep and is the only survivor has been owned by Fiat-Chrysler for a long time. Anyhow, the swallowing of the auto brands was our version of the British motorcycle industry huddling under one tiny, BSA/Triumph financial umbrella.

titled any
I owned a Nash Rambler, a Studebager, and 2 Packards. OK - so I bought them for junk price (about $5 back then) never titled any of them. If I got any of them running I just drove them around the woods and fields (no driver’s license yet). Even a numb high school kid could work on the simple beasts.
Then I moved up ‘53 Chevys - a big step up. Got my DL and took to the road. Biggest difference was that when I broke down I didn’t have a tractor at hand to tow my junker home. And I learned that I had to buy more gas.

Yep. My vote too. Rented one in Italy in late 90's. Just got the key fob late night at the airport and pressed the fob button in the dark parking lot. Too tired to walk back.Ewww...

This is a very complimentary photo. It does not look nearly this good in person. The interior looked terrible and controls were confusing. Gear shift was straight out of the dash. The rental agency later admitted that Fiat could not sell them so they "gave" them to the rental agencies just to get some on the road. Mine was green and looked like a toad.

Always wondered why people would be brave enough to buy this ulcer...
The visual association...
The facelift model ('04 onward) didn't much better...
