Suzuki probably has the worst lineup in the USA, to my eye.

I find Subarus to be generally ugly. For Chrysler/Dodge, I actually like the look of their big cars (Charger, Challenger, Ram, and new 300 all look great to me) but the lower-end vehicles are pretty bad (Caliber, minivans, Journey, Sebring, 200, etc, etc).

For Acura, I like the TSX and MDX looks. The RL, while bland, is not "ugly" in the general sense. The TL is definitely polarizing (I like it in dark colors but dislike it in light colors) and I've never liked the look of the RDX. The ZDX (while useless) looks great in person.

I find a lot of non-luxury manufacturers have BLAND designs. Not ugly, just not that interesting. Honda has very bland designs (CR-V, Civic Si and Odyssey being personal exceptions)and Toyota and Nissan do as well. Basically, I'd say they are all 80% bland with a few stand-out vehicles to keep them interesting.

I love all of Audi's vehicles. I generally like the look of Infinitis and Mercedes as well and BMW is fine, overall.

Oh and BMW puts out some uglies as well.
When I started this thread, I was thinking BMW - its been making some of the ugliest cars on the market for a decade now. But I had forgotten all about Acura...

Chrysler, to my eye. Their blocky styling looks infantile. Different but ugly.

Spyker at the extreme price range (not the interior, it's amazing). Hopefully they keep Saab tasteful.

Chrysler/Dodge at the achievable price range. Even the Challenger is sweet, but recycled.

Subaru has finally cleaned up their styling, but they used to be incongruously styled. The Imprezza and Forrester fronts seemed to be designed by a different team than the rear and shoved it into production without meeting.

Ford was lost for a while, but the new fusion, taurus, focus, and fiesta are sharp looking cars. I'll take the SHO drivetrain in the Fusion please

It's a tough choice between Subaru and Mazda.

I like the new Chrysler products, at least the full sized cars. Trucks look good and the minivans look like minivans. Have to go with Acura as the line with the worst looking cars at this point. Really too bad, as they are decent enough cars and in the past have been some of the better looking cars on the road.
