The Marcos Mantis looks like one of the cars from the British SciFi series UFO.

The Kia Picanto is called the Morning here, right? I love that thing, it's not ugly at all! It's one of the best looking little hatches in production.

I agree!
In fact, I just bought one last month. The SLX model with 15'' alloys and built-in GPS/entertainment system with 7'' screen, sports body kit....titanium silver.....2011 model (which kind of makes it from the future....which I don't understand).

I heard the Morning was the 2nd best selling car in Korea after the Sonata......more people are hurting with the price of gas I suppose......

It's a rocking little car. A lot of fun to drive. Put the pedal down hard and it takes off like a little rocket!

Plus, 18km per liter of fuel.......well, that's if you don't drive like I said above!

Very happy with my choice.

I don't think ugly cars are exclusive to Korea. The Dodge Magnum and that other hideous throwback car from Plymouth (forgot the name) are pretty atrocious.

I am surprised the new Sonata isn't on there. It looks like a cheap ripoff of a Japanese car, and trying way too hard to be sleak.

Also the Hyundai Tiburon. That wannabe sportscar with a Hyundai motor, and that ugly spoiler on the back.

Another disagreement, I think the Y20 Sonata is quite possibly one of the sexiest things on 4 wheels south of like.. 60K. It absolutely slaughters the plain Jane styling of the Accord, Camry and Altima.

#8 Mustang II isn't that bad. Give it a decent paint job, and you'd be pimpin'.
