That Solstice he's driving doesn't look too shabby :)

The solstice doesn't look horrible. But if you've ever seen any pictures of it, there aren't anybody lines, so if you wreck it, it's not as easy as just to pick up a fender and slap 'er on )* Does have a different look to it though.

If you want ugly, look at these:

What I don't get is why do all new cars have those "wrap-around" head-lights? They're fugly! :d runk

the last pic is OK I guess, but the other two are butt-ugly, especially that SUV or whatcha-ma-callit.
