Just looking at the about to be released MG U9 ute. My opinion of course, it's the uglist vehicle I have ever seen. Wondering now if others agree?

The current Chinese Utes seem to have cornered the market on ugly, this MG U9 Ute lives up to that standard, As the saying goes a face only a mother could love.

Yeah, it looks a bit cumbersome.
Does it have those poncey new indicators some late model vehicles now have.
Some of them are simply not practical, particularly those smallish wrap around types.
I have nearly been caught out a few times with those tiny or wrap around front indicators not being noticeable enough to give warning of direction.
The front of that ute loos like it is a good roo and insect collector.....

That is as ugly as a hat full of bums.
The front looks like a cheese grater.

Every vehicle built during the past 15 years looks like it has been chiselled out of stone. As for ugly, there's Musk's Cybertruck. If you go back enough years, there was Citroen's Ami. You can't beat that for ugly. In fact, all Citroens of that era looked like ****roaches.

I worked for a US based company in Rochester NY. In a meeting with their design group, I politely asked why their products were so bland in aesthetics.
Their answer was, and they were not joking was they only did shapes that could be cut out on a band saw.
