Update: You can sleep in peace tonight. Pelicared (check out his comment below) has enlightened us that the car you see here is indeed the Ssangyong Actyon from South Korea. This makes us wonder what Ssangyong is doing on U.S. soil?

This past weekend, the folks at Inside Line spotted a very weird looking crossover prototype parked on a residential street in Santa Monica that could give you nightmares.

Those nightmares may be the same ones you had back in 2001 when General Motors unveiled its first “crossover” SUV – the Pontiac Aztek. The model was discontinued in 2005 for obvious reasons. It was voted the ugliest vehicle in the world by the British Telegraph newspaper.

If GM decides to do the Aztek once again, we’ll have to name it the ugliest vehicle in the world and may even support those auto task force advisors looking for $40 billion in bankruptcy funding.

Head over to Inside Line to see the back of this… whatever you want to call it.

    Don't forget that this is the predecessor of the BMW X6 and actually the 1st try-out to desing a Coupe-SUV crossover (or CUV, or CAV, or whatever).

    It's not my style either, but please also not forget that tastes DO differ, espescially from country to country.

    How is it that the Aztek can be called the ugliest vehicle ever made, and the Honda element is a marvel of modern engineering. The same ugly cladding, both have things they brag about, that don't deserve to be bragged about, (Aztek has room for a tent, Honda has a low flat floor that puts the gas tank 6 inches lower than anything else on the vehicle), and really, the Honda looks like an Astro van and an Aztek had a love child…. Oh, right. It's a Honda. Give me a break.

    I am an Aztek owner and I love it. I bought he car on a spare moment type of thing and I have NOT regretted it. It is very spacious and very handy. We are an outdoor family and we camp and o to the beach in it. My husband had not thought about getting one but after test driving it and the affordable price. The car is a keeper. The world should know by now that if ood looks disgusting or ugly. It doesn’t mean that it is delicious. Think amour it.
