Would you call this ugly? (AP Photo/Jean-Claude Ernst)

Good grief! Am I alone in thinking that the Ferrari Enzo DOES NOT belong on BusinessWeek’s list of the (supposedly) 50 ugliest cars of the past 50 years? Oh, but the madness doesn’t stop there. Several other questionable picks made the list, too.

It was just a day or two ago when a fellow HowStuffWorks.com staffer (Thanks, Rob!) sent me a link to a list that he thought might spur some good commentary among the High Speed Stuff blog readers. And now that you’ve had a chance to look at the list, I’m sure you can see why he might think that.

To be fair, the list DOES include several cars that look like they fell through an ugly tree and hit every branch, but there are easily just as many cars that I find myself wanting to defend. For instance, what the heck is the Scion iQ doing in there? If that car was available right now, I’d already have my checkbook out and a pen in my hand. And the BMW 7 Series? I don’t even know where to begin with that one. And what about the Plymouth Prowler? Sure, it wasn’t for everyone and yes it was underpowered, but a factory-built hot rod design? That deserves some credit, doesn’t it?

I could go on, but I’d much rather hear from you. So, what do you think of this controversial list? What cars would you add? What cars would you remove? And do you think that some of those cars were added just to provoke a response? I do. And I guess it worked, didn’t it?
