Honda Element vs. Scion Xb

There probably many other ugly (and expensive?) cars these days. But, between the similar ugliness of these two cars, which one do you, at first glance, dislike to look at the most?

Honda Element design?

Scion xb?

If you have seen uglier car design, post 'em.

My eyes retch at the sight of both, so I can't say.
DO NOT WANT.

The Scion. Now remove them from my sight!

That Scion is really ugly.

The Element doesnt look nearly as bad.

That Scion looks ridiculously fuel inefficient.
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

The dude standing with the Scion is funny looking.

Especially compared to the Scion.

Both are hideous. The Element is slightly better looking, but still burns my eyes. Looking at the Scion, you think that if a draft caught it the wrong way, it would fall over. If you want a car in this price field, go for the Scion tC. Much better.

The Scion's definately uglier.

Also, Toyota Prius... *shudder*
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

SUVs look like crap period. But the worst offender by FAR is the Aztec. Good GOD was that thing ugly.

They are both pug-fugly. Hell they're both ugly ugly.

The Scion is worse, if only because the low ride height makes it look laughably bad.

I disagree with SUV generally looking bad. Hell the two vehicles in this thread and the one you reference really aren't SUVs anyway, in my opinion. They're mangled mini-vans which are bloated cars. Pontiac actually did a passable job of cleaning up the Aztec by removing all the plastic cladding and giving them monochromatic themes. Still...

The basic SUV is a pickup truck with a shell. Some of them are pretty bad, but the basic ones, like the Ford Explorer or Chevy Blazer don't look horrible by any means.

Thats disgusting. Why lower a van? gezz man, i still don't like those weird plastic things on the element.
I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I have never seen anything more hideous in my entire life other than the Scion. It makes me sick.
Very funny Scotty. Now beam down my clothes.

The Scion is considered a valid means of inducing vomitting in cases of poison consumption here in TX. True story, that.

I've always like Honda's for their innovative ideas and great engineering.. You can take a hose to the interior of the Element and clean it out.. The Scion (Made by Toyota) is ugh... I disklike all the Scions, xA, XB, tc..

To me, the element looks a lot worse than the scion, on the grounds that while the scion has the shape of a shoe box on wheels, it at least doesn't go apes*** with the color coordination like the Element did.

maddox sums it up nicely:
