Oh No, Not Another Uphill Ahead...

Make: Hyundai

Model: Elantra

Lowdown: One of the most underpowered cars I have ever had the pleasure of driving, the Elantra isn't a car you'd choose if you wanted to get anywhere on time. Oh yes, Hyundai claims it may have 33mpg on the highway, but in order to actually GET anywhere on the highway, you'd be flooring it constantly, cutting your mileage way down. And anyways, anyone who actually took this car on the highway would be crazy. "Honey, can you pass this guy? He keeps staring at me and winking." "No, sorry babe, I can't. We took the Elantra, remember?" "Oh dear..." To put it simply, the anemic 138 hp engine is just not large enough to move 2900 lbs of car anywhere soon. At least you'll be safe in a crash, because you won't be able to get up to speed enough to have a dangerous crash at all.

Verdict: Fugly!

PT Loser

Make: Chrysler

Model: PT Cruiser

Lowdown: Aparently Chrysler wanted this car to appeal to those from the generation of woodies, the Beach Boys, and really short swim trunks. Unfortunately, all they really sold it to is people who like to go slowly in the left lane. As a result, traffic jams are on the rise, fuel consumption is up, car exhaust pollution is up, and global warming has increased. Thanks, Chrysler PT Cruiser drivers, for destroying our planet.

Verdict: Fugly!
