    @veronykah: Strange doesn't have to be bad, as demonstrated by the Exelero. Twenty feet of Vader inspired coupe goodness, packing 700 horses for intergalactic cruising.

    Generated tons of positive ink when it was built, but Maybach decided not to produce it for sale, because they just didn't feel like it gosh-darn-it.

    I'm hoping to buy an Avantime soon, although the ride is just Ok, the shape is fab.

    I just want to say that I think the commentariat has come through in spades on this QOTD. The Avantime is tough to top, but you all have come up with some real winners. I mean losers. I mean...ah, the hell with it.

    Nice work people.

    I will also throw in the lovably peculiar Chrysler 300J/300K from '63 to '64. I do find them more attractive in convertible form.

    I will submit an '86 fastback Chevy Monte Carlo. Probably one of the last "homologation" specials produced for NASCAR rules.

    BMW 318ti. Single handedly destroyed the outlook for any four-banger in the US. Ass only an owner could love.

    @discontinuuity is happy that everything has been set right in the Jalopverse. Now all we need is more of engineerd's Brefas Scotch!:

    Whoa.... That's got to be one of the weirdest looking front ends I've ever seen.

    It looks like it's going to eat me if I stand too close.

    Atom bomb you say? Well, here comes another one. I present to you the bastard, shooting brake love child of Burkhard Göschel and E36/8 Z3. A vehicle that absolutely eschews obfuscation and espouses elucidation when it comes to driving dynamics. While the driving experience couldn't be more clear, the looks are still a mystery to the buying public. Most Jalops understand and adore this car, but the same cannot be said about the masses.

    Most of the late 1970s/early 1980sGM full sized RWD coupes just didn't look right, especially without a fastback. Not as outright fugly as some on here but bad for something "mainstream" at the time.
