  • guitarguru48083, on 11/06/2008, -0/+26Wow...why would anybody want a jacked up cadillac limo?....
  • CsHitman, on 11/07/2008, -2/+22Well at least the go-cart thing had flames on it.
  • AmyVernon, on 11/06/2008, -0/+17Best description: Purina Dragon Chow.
  • commentposted, on 11/07/2008, -0/+10That is NOT a 70's vintage caddy!
  • IpwnZnoobs, on 11/07/2008, -0/+9http://media.popularmechanics.com/images/sema_ugly ...

    That car made me laugh out loud! It's got a spare yet it doesn't use wheels.
  • swicepick, on 11/07/2008, -0/+8It's a beautiful car for sure, but I think it might have just ended up like the last Thunderbird model: great for a limited market, but not a direct competitor as a day-to-day car.

    Definitely would love to see some of those rolling on the roads though!
  • apexracing, on 11/07/2008, -0/+7Choosing the worst car at SEMA is like looking at a field of cows and deciding which one farts the most.
  • marshallpeck, on 11/07/2008, -0/+7Very annoying web page. Thanks popular mechanics.
  • apena89, on 11/06/2008, -0/+7The Brush Buster looks good for Motorstorm!
  • pirlok, on 11/06/2008, -2/+8if it's free, then i want it
  • createcontent, on 11/07/2008, -0/+5Yo dawg,I herd u like cars,so we're gonna put a car inside yo car so u can drive while u drive..
  • leif77, on 11/07/2008, -0/+5if all you plan on doing is driving exactly straight at all times then yeah... there's nothing wrong with it...
  • SpamBurger, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4#9 Nothing turns me on like a hot slut with a crocodile
  • ageedoy, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4How is the Galpin Scythe not on that list?

  • swicepick, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4Hot Wheels for grown-ups.
  • bag2p, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4Front page? Really?
  • bjornski, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4No, if you were gay, you'd have a sense of taste.
  • inactive, on 11/07/2008, -0/+4RTFA
  • Shiftgood, on 11/07/2008, -1/+5Oh? you dont think if they released this as a hybrid it would sell against a hybrid camry?

    the classic american styling isnt what america wants?
  • Shiftgood, on 11/07/2008, -6/+10I feel like ford could have really turned themselvs around with this car

    http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-def/Ford-Forty-N ...

    I think its the most beautiful car in the world and embodies the desires of the American public that the american automakers are neglecting.
  • beedo34, on 11/07/2008, -1/+5it's a car show. it's basically a bunch of concepts done up to 11. nobody claimed that you could just commute in any one of these. it doesn't make them ugly, just massively pimped out and unique.
  • hexx54, on 11/07/2008, -0/+3All on one page?!?! Wow, there IS a God..

    Thank you vroom101
  • jkahrs595, on 11/07/2008, -0/+3alligators? seriously?
  • BoneheadFarker, on 11/07/2008, -0/+3WTF: http://www.flickr.com/photos/scotts101/1754733474/
  • MindTrigger, on 11/07/2008, -0/+3The rock crawler #6: The front bumper is based on more useful similar designs. A good driver can put that against a large rock or rock wall and use it to pivot in difficult spots. It normally is a loop so that it will roll off the rock, not stab into it. Other than that, it looks like pretty well built crawler.

    As a jeep owner (see my pics) I prefer a good ole jeep to a custom crawler.
  • orangester, on 11/07/2008, -0/+3I actually kind of like #10. The guys at Unique usually do awesome, and tasteful work. An auto show is a place to go wild with creativity, not exactly practicality. The majority of these cars are show only, and will never see the street.
  • bjornski, on 11/07/2008, -0/+3They know mechanics, not design.
  • BigCalhoun, on 11/07/2008, -1/+4These slideshows are a disturbing trend.

    On topic: I could never get into customizing. A stock car says 'class' to me, but to eacht their own.
  • Jaliyl, on 11/07/2008, -2/+4It's a shame how much work went into these shiny shiny *****.

    I like #6 though, and I'd drive #3 around a golf course.
  • P1um, on 11/07/2008, -1/+3Dugg for Purina Dragon Chow
  • cowsgonemadd3, on 11/07/2008, -2/+4What ads?
    (adblock plus firefox)
  • inactive, on 11/06/2008, -4/+6WHY NOT!
  • thaprinze, on 11/07/2008, -0/+2So that the Amazonian women can make snoo-snoo in the back on prom night, of course.
  • smacksaw, on 11/07/2008, -0/+2Only if you put a "No on Prop 8" bumper sticker on those cars?

    According to the Christians here on Digg, because I was "No on 8" I am a homosexual.
  • inactive, on 11/07/2008, -0/+2What's wrong with 1 again? It's a *show* car right?
  • SadMartigan, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2So you can be the Anti-Chrysler!!!1!!!
  • IllestGodzira, on 11/07/2008, -1/+3that orange charger looks ugly

    I don't think you can steer with that little of a gap.

  • pooljoe, on 11/07/2008, -0/+1Yes those are ugly but the ugliest i have EVER saw drives around here locally, it is a 2006 Jaguar on a huge lift kit with big ass mudders under it.
  • Winkythecat, on 11/07/2008, -0/+1How sad. The closest I could get to this is making my own diorama with matchbox cars inside.

    Well... at least I'll get better gas mileage.
  • Jeepinator, on 11/07/2008, -4/+5they are distasteful and ugly. they are even worse than most rap.
  • inactive, on 11/07/2008, -0/+1Whatever happened to driving the car...as is?
  • Tyrghast, on 11/07/2008, -0/+1Personally I think the attempt at retro muscle cars has failed miserably. The Challenger looks like disgusting fat muscle car.
  • YvesKlein, on 11/07/2008, -0/+1Somebody above asked what was wrong with #1...?
    It's only a 2 wheel drive and it's jacked up as high as Bigfoot.
  • jigallo159, on 11/06/2008, -4/+5What the hell!?!? I would take GI Joes car in a bit (2nd one), the first one wasn't even bad, just orange. Got something against oranges??
  • 3vno, on 11/07/2008, -0/+1No. 5 isn't bad.
  • WhoDoneIt, on 11/07/2008, -1/+2Let me guess, you wear socks with your sandals.
  • molochi, on 11/07/2008, -0/+1Looks like a micro falcon. Very cool looking, Unfortunately adding real bumpers always ***** up the look of a concept car.
  • Jeepinator, on 11/07/2008, -0/+1no. americans do not want that kind of styling as evidenced by the failed Ford thunderbird that they reincarnated a few years back. Americans want a car with modest styling that works well, is comfortable, reliable, and cost effective. That is what makes a car attractive. A hybrid camry would out sell this thing 5:1 easy.
  • apena89, on 11/06/2008, -3/+4WHY?
