    That 90’s caprice is a dope as car. You guys are wrong on that one!

    • @catjudo1

      Agreed. I drove ex-police package Caprices when I drove for the taxi company and I thought they were good looking. It was also possible to stuff a ton of stuff into one of them and the styling gave them a lot of room inside. It's outside looks, but the police spec engines and suspension made these cars surprisingly quick and agile, especially for their size. The steering was very good too, if a little numb, whereas the Fords and Lincoln Town Cars I drove were not so precise. They were better cars than this list suggests.

      I think the 90s Caprice was appreciated more in hindsight. When it first came out, it was subject to ridicule (although it was named Car of the Year by Motor Trend, which many readers of the magazine, including myself, simply could not believe; we assumed Motor Trend must have received a big, fat check from GM for that endorsement). But then you had the SS model, police started using it, and people started to appreciate the Caprice's sheer size and how anachronistic (and bold) it was for GM to release a car the size of a 70s land yacht at the start of the 90s. Myself, if I had the money, I'd love to own a 90s Caprice SS or Buick Roadmaster.

    The svx was a cool car
    My ugly car for the 90s was the Sonata from 97 to 99. The 90-93 Sonata wasn’t as ugly, but it looked like a cheap Honda Accord. The 1995 looked great, and I remembered Charles Barkley appearing in a commercial in 1994 promoting that car.
    If I am correct, the 1997-1999 Sonata, looked a lot different for the worse.
    It wasn’t until 2002, when they changed the body, to where it looked nice, kind of like a Jaguar. Almost purchased a 2002 when it debuted, but luckily I didn’t, because I heard they were extremely unreliable.

      ​@@ThisOldCarChannel Here are some of my favourite vehicles on the list, cars I find quite attractive and some unattractive: the Australian designed *Mercury Capri,* I found attractive, I also loved the *Lumina* 4 door sedan, and *APV,* at the time, I saw the Imperial and I was like *"What?!"* Overall, I found the car attractive, but I found the front end hideous. I've never liked the Cadillac of the 1990s. My least favourite were the *Sedan DeVille* and *Fleetwood.* I remember when the *Chrysler K Car* was introduced. I found them to be *"fugly"* as hell to look at. I don't know what Lee Iacocca was thinking in introducing the cars. I loved the *1991 Chevy Caprice* and *Caprice Classic.* I found it way more attractive than the previous generations of Caprice and Caprice Classic, which I knew was *long overdue* for physical and appearance upgrade. I loved *Subaru's SVX.* I was disappointed when it was discontinued when it was. I found it way more attractive than the *XT* of the 1980s. I also love the *1994 Ford Mustang.* I loved the Faux Bodied Mustang of the 1980s, but even that needed to be updated, and this was long overdue. I thought it was the best looking Mustang since the Mustang II and the 1965 Mustang. I agree with you with regards to the *90s Buick Riviera.* It's the worst looking car I'd seen Buick offered. Whoever designed that hideous thing should have his head looked at. The same goes for the Monte Carlo. The same goes for whoever redesigned the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable. I found them both worse than hideous. Although I've never driven a *Cadillac Catera,* I actually found it quite attractive. Why it was so hated much is beyond me. So it was an American badged Opel, so fucking what? What was it that made it a hated car? I thought it was way better looking than other cars Cadillac was offering at the time. Cadillac didn't do any favours since then. I used to love *Porsches' 911,* but what the hell was Porsche thinking when they designed this hideous monster on this list?

    I will admit that I like the boxy styling of the 77-90 Caprice better. But the 91-96 aren't ugly. Although I may be biased since I drive a 96 Buick Roadmaster sedan which is pretty much the same thing

    The Catera was a sub-par car for lots of reasons, but its looks weren't one of them. It wasn't a great looking car, but it wasn't bad looking either. If it had been thought out better, the Omega would have made a decent entry level Cadillac, certainly better than the gussied up Cavalier made into the Cimarron. As for the styling, the CTS looks far worse than the Catera to me; the disjointed juxtaposition of its desperate parts makes it look like a failed refugee from Blade Runner. Abandoning actual names for alphanumeric designators a la the German cars they want to emulate didn't help. Why hasn't he Escalade ever become something like the ESE?

    Can't say I agree with several of your choices and quite frankly, I am appalled at your ageism! Do you really think that people in their 40's, 50's, etc. will never reach 60, 70 or beyond? The snarky comments about people 75 and up are totally unnecessary. As far as the cars go, I have to agree with some, like the Taurus, but many of the others are just boring, but not particularly ugly, in my opinion. Styling is subjective. Fortunately, we don't all like or hate the same thing. I found the 1994 Mustang attractive, although the following generation was outstanding. I also thought the final generation of the Buick Riviera was magnificent. Oh wait, I've just reached 70. Must be time to pack me off to the boneyard or some kind of extermination ceremony as in Logan's Run.

    LOL! Loved this list! I was a kid in JR High and High School during these days and this is pretty much a list of the cars you didn't want to be seen getting picked up from school in. Also on this list would have been the Pontiac Trans Sport or the 1994 Chevrolet Camaro. My friends used to say they looked like "big ass Geos". Not that I took it personal because they were making fun of my mom's car or anything.

    About the only ones I can agree with are that Chrysler Imperial, the Ford Taurus and the Cadillac Catera. I think the rest of the list was just for comedy's sake. The Caprice wasn't even close to ugly, the Mustang... eh, The Monte Carlo and the Lumina were both wildly popular cars and almost universally accepted, and the Porsche was getting a little long in the tooth, so a facelift was in order, which they got right since they managed to modernize it a little but they also made sure that everyone knew what it was at first glance. The Subaru was ok looking too; definitely not one of their best efforts, but definitely not ugly. There was one more that I don't remember, but I'll get to it later when I have a little more time.

    The 90s fairly was, by and large and stylistically, the “bathtub era” of automotive design. It was, I think, dually about “aerodynamics” (also VERY surprised that this list omitted the Buick Riviera and its siblings as the epitome of this era) and a desire to differentiate stylings of cars versus the era’s (wildly popular) SUVs and pickups. Also stunned that this list omitted the PT Cruiser.

    The Lumina, Imperial, Catera, Monte Carlo and Porsche 996 weren't really ugly, they were just ordinary. At least the Monte Carlo and Porsche had 2 doors, but a Porsche should not look ordinary. They still look better than almost all new cars. The 1991 Caprice, 1992 Subaru SVX, and1996 Taurus were indeed ugly. The 1994-2004 Mustangs were not ugly, they just weren't great looking. But they sure beat the hell out of the Foxbody. That has to be one of if not the ugliest car ever sold in the U.S. I kind of liked the Riviera. It was different, and it was a 2 door personal luxury car, my favorite type of car.
