I wouldn't say ugly... just not striking. After all it is a souped up econobox. No different than a VW Golf, Lancer, Fiat, Focus, Delta, or any other econo rally car for the past 20 years! They all come from the same place (entry level, 2 litre, economy car.)

So these cars don't impress with their looks... they impress by the technology that can take a little grocery getter and give Porsche a run for it's money. Give em a break... look at what they are working with in the first place!:
