Yep. The Cube joins the Studebaker as 2 of the 3 ugliest. Nominations for #3?

Nowadays there are many ugliest cars, as those called "boxy cars".
Perhaps the worst of these boxy cars is the Nissan Cube, which I believe is among the models that will be discontinued this year.
In Nissan’s own words: “The Nissan cube is squarely unconventional, with a bold but friendly front grille inspired by a bulldog wearing shades....”

Good decision, eh?

That mirrors the years of my parents’ trusty Studebaker, one of the top three ugliest cars ever made. But it did the job.
Cuter as a toy than in real life.

This could open some lively discussion. I believe Northern Italian members would say this is a ‘Southern Italian attitude?’

I’ve never seen them before. This was hilarious!

So there were TWO steering wheels? With, presumably, a mechanism for disabling one at any given time?

It was symmetrical, to serve right and left senses of traffic. And in the center of the radiator, the Union Jack.
I’d love to see a picture of this car, especially the steering wheel in the center!

Reliability is critical for cars: in the end, the only really importthing is that you need to be sure they will get you where you need to go. When we bought a beautiful grosvenor brown Jaguar a few years before Ford bought the brand, more than one friend warned that we would have nothing but problems. As it turned out we had only one repair in more than 10 years, so for us this was a dependable car. But because of earlier lax quality control, the brand suffered from the ‘unreliable’ reputation.
