5 Of The Most Controversial Designs Of 2022

 #5 - Kia Sportage

  Kia have been getting a lot right recently, but the front end of the new Sportage is an exception. However, the Sportage's ugliness is only skin-deep, as the actual SUV is very impressive. 







#4 - Tesla Cybertuck

   Unlike most CEOs, Elon Musk doesn't give a hoot what people think of his cars. Fortunately, Musk has been embraced by the meme community, who absolutely love the quirky (to say the least) designs Tesla roll out. The Cybertruck, unlike the gorgeous Model S and Roadster, is blunt and obnoxious, but many, like myself, love it all the more for its strangeness. Tesla have already reported 1,000,000 units sold. 



#3 - Toyota Tundra


  I'll be honest with you: I loathe the Tundra way more than most people. From the ginormous fascia to the awkwardly styled headlights, I just think it is the worst thing ever. I don't know why other car enthusiasts don't seem to see anything considerably bad about it. 





#2 - Hyundai Tucson

  Let's get this out of the way: Even though the Tucson looks atrocious in photos, it actually looks pretty attractive IRL. However, it is a controversial design, and it lands the undesirable #2 slot. Let's start with the side: what on God's green earth is going on with all those contrasting creases?! Up, down, inwards, outwards, there is no flow to it. It just ends up looking like a hot mess. The grille isn't great either. Then again, it really isn't bad when you see it on the street, which you will, because the Tucson is one of the best selling vehicles in the world.  



#1 - BMW M3/M4

There really wasn't any argument to which car would take the #1 place. The BMW M3, as phenomenal as it is on the track, is on of the ugliest cars in recent memory. Yes, the colossal grille is horrible, but the entire car is sloppily designed as well. There is a trend in this list, and I bet you spotted it: The best cars are the most unsuspecting ones. Although design is a big deal, there are some great cars that are great, if you can look past their shortcomings.
