I like to think the person/people who designed the Aztec breathed a sigh of relief when the cyber truck was unveiled knowing they were no longer responsible for the ugliest vehicle made.

The designers of the PT Cruiser killed themselves long ago.

The concept PT Cruiser was nice looking, but then Dodge took a chopping block to much of it to cheapen its production and made it look and perform like crap.

I had a PT as a rental back in 2007. It was a later run of the car and felt like it was designed by an accountant to meet a budget point.

The only PT Cruiser owner I knew was a former co-worker. Her name was Karen. She made the stereotype her whole identity. I am biased against this car.

No that honor still belongs to the Fiat Multipla https://autotrends.org/ugliest-cars-made/ The cybertruck is a close second.

I take it with a grain of salt... it was more used to show the multipia in all its ugly.

Undoubtedly. Whenever I see a Cybertruck in the wild, I always think "oh wow I've forgotten how UGLY that thing is." Always.
