a new standard of ugliness
Since I just wrote about beauty, let's explore the other end of the spectrum. Check out this concept car, the Ford Airstream:

Tell me, is that not by far the ugliest thing ever to be put on four wheels? It's straight out of a comic book, and it'd even look like crap there. That so bad it's funny and yet sickening to look at. They can't seriously be considering producing that thing let alone marketing it.
I guess Ford was not pleased when Chrysler came out with the PT Cruiser and bumped its Taurus off the top of the World's Ugliest Cars list. And so Ford has spent years developing a pile of metal so butt-ugly no other maker will dare challenge them again. If they didn't succeed they at least shot the ugliness standard into the stratosphere. Leave it to Ford...
