The search for the ugliest car of all time can take you into realms you would never expect, including culture, engineering, and art. There is mystery, too: what can explain the thinking of the designers who created an apparition like the Chevy Lumina van?

Ugly as it may be, the Lumina didn’t make the cut when Globe Drive’s Aesthetics Panel sat down to create a list of the 10 ugliest cars of all time. There were dozens of potential candidates.

1. PONTIAC AZTEK

2. CITROËN AMI

3. AMC PACER

4. AMC GREMLIN

5. FIAT MULTIPLA

6. NISSAN CUBE

7. LAMBORGHINI VENENO

8. SUZUKI X-90

9. NISSAN JUKE

10. TATRA 603
