Not long ago, modern cars tended to have the stand out qualities of a pillar at the Parthenon - they were neat, uniform, and virtually indistinguishable. But then we began to get some cars that dared to be different - cars like the Renault Scenic, Ford Ka, Ford Focus, Fiat Coupe, Audi A2 and Land Rover Freelander. Not all are raging beauties, but they're interesting, attractive and desirable. It doesn't always turn out that way though. Sometimes the manufacturers, even the big ones who have done their market research and their customer clinics, manage to drop visual clangers that ring far and wide. Here we salute ten of the most memorable of recent (and not so recent) memory. They may be ugly, but the World would be a duller - if prettier - place without them.
