Multiplas have back-of-seat TVs?! The one we rented didn't have much more than some 2$ radio that could be detached from the dashboard at the push of a button(when we were bored once, my brother and I hid it in the glove compartment to scare our parents XD). It could barely produce anything more than static, and whenever we turned it on, this weird whine would come from the engine compartment, so we kept it off and didn't listen to much music on the road.

Yeah lol, the guy who had it before had the same deal as my dad...so I guess the TV and DVD player were extras.
Although why anyone would want a Multipla in the first place is beyond me.

Radio aside, it was actually a practical little car...incredible amount of interior space given its size, reliable(even though it felt like it was going to fall apart at the amazing speed of 120 km/h ), and fuel economical, which is important considering Europe's INSANE fuel prices. Seriously, their diesel is literally 20 times the price of our Premium petrol... oh, and its high beams are beyond powerful. Anyways, enough about that, and back to the original topic. I present to you the Chapparal 2J, the product of horrific gene splicing between a Le Mans racecar, a fighter jet, and a cardboard box:

And you could not only ride that thing in GT4, but you could also ride a car very much like it in Ridge Racer Type 4. Deamn.
EDIT: I can just imagine that thing strapped to a table, whimpering "Killl meee..." as it chokes on its rupturing incompatible organs. XD
I bet there's a goldmine (no irony intended) of Carbage in that aptly-named section on Top Gear, or are we just talking about the natural look?
Edit Again:
A letter, a number, and a district in New York. Guess what I think is a very ugly car. XD

Yeah, I first saw it while looking through GT4's showrooms, and then again while browsing Wikipedia. That's when I decided to post it. And as with concept cars, adding ricers into the mix brings us a near-unlimited source of ugly cars. The main difference is that good-looking concept cars actually exist: www.topgear.com/content/timetoburn/sections/carbage/pages/0518/BTW, I can't figure out the car you're talking about.

You got me there. XD As for the car I'm talking about, I'll give you a BIG hint.

'The Fly' looks to be vaguely based on a Volkswagen. Headlights look to be from a later model classic beetle, as does the motor, though they've brought it to the front. It's aircooled though.
You can do anything with a Volkswagen, even make it *gasp* ugly!
And I was talking about the ugliest production/concept cars actually in the thread, but I suppose the Carbage cars will also fit the bill.

Reminds me more of Jay Leno coming out of a wall and slobbering than a demon.

Although they're not "ugliest car ever" material, I'm surprisingly enough not a big fan of the new generation of Mercs coming out. Looks like they've suffered through the same 'futuristic blob' treatment that hit the Discovery and the xB. The only new Merc I really like is the S-class with its Maybach Exelero-inspired fascia.

How can we forget the G-wiz? Those things look so flimsy...Love to see what one would look like after a crash xD

It already looks like it has been rammed from both sides.
