Default ugliest Car ever

Is it me, or do others think this is pretty ugly?

What were they thinking. I appologize if this has already been discussed but it was too much to take and I had to share.

I had the chance to go through the Aston Martin factory back in 1987 and see the Lagonda being hand built. It is a much nicer car in person. Very big, and was aimed at the market of Ferrari 412, Maserati 4Porte and the big Mercedes 560SEL.

The needle sharp front end I thought was very attractive. The electronic dash was its one week spot.

In 1987, the Aston Martin Lagonda had an MSRP of $177,500.00

Alot of money for back then. By way of comparison, the Countach in 1987 was right around $100,000.00 and an '87 Maserati Quattroporte was $72,500.00

Actually, I was being sarcastic. This is a listing in EBAY under Lamborghini. To say this is an ugly Aston may be redundant. The present owner needs to get his facts straight.
