0:50 - You missed the mark with the Panda. Yes, it might not be that nice from an "American legend" point of view, but it was conceived ground up rationally and 4.5 million units sold confirm that it was not that ugly and that people loved it (and many of them regret they don't build it like that anymore). 2:36 - That's not a Brooks Stevens' Studebaker SS: it's an original 1936/39 SS Jaguar 100, the first one to bear the Jaguar brand name. 5:07 - I agree with you even though I'm Italian: the Mondial was and is an ugly car. 10.07 - The car you show at this point is not the large model you think, it is the "Giulietta" instead, ancestor of the same segment as the Milano (in Europe, model "75"), same wheelbase but a whopping eight inches shorter than the Milano.

Panda was awarded with the "Car of the year" prize, and designed by Giugiaro. It is an icon and still cited as an example of perfect mix of smart and stylish. But I understand that everything which is not as big as a Limousine may seem ugly to an american guy with the voice of AI...

[@Soldano999]

The Panda was a HUGE success. It wasn't considered ugly at all but was praised for its very functional and minimalistic design.

[@marcantoine3840]

The Fiat Panda Mark1 was a great car. Also, I believe the video is biased against Italian cars, as the Mondial, the Biturbo and Alfa 75, were much better than some of the Opel or Ford Europe, or some of the British Leyland cars of the era. Fully agree on the US cars though, they’re unattractive across the board up until today.

[@m3photo726]

One of the top places for the 2000’s goes to the Ssangyong Rodius. You can just imagine Ken Greenley submitting the design at the last minute only to be told it was supposed to be an MPV instead of a sort of four door saloon. “Oh, crap”, he replied. So he tacked on what we all had to see and could never unsee again …

So wrong about the Fiat Panda, Toyota Tercel, Subaru Alcyone/XT, Nissan Pulsar EXA/NX modular. They were designed with a simple focus and delivered on their intended purposes.

[@olmaBLN]

Okay, and this makes the Fiat Panda not ugly. Might the thinking behind it well, it remains being an ugly car. The Citroen 2CV or Renault R4 were cheap, simple cars to... and still looked much better!

[@olmaBLN]

To be fair, the Fiat Panda is the only car in this video, which was a very cheap, reliable car, without any frills on prupose. In this video there is a car radio perfectly fitted into the front, mostly it was just placed into the open ledge. Together with the Seat Marbella it was perfect for students, social services ( like food delivery for old people ) etc. Like Romanian Dacia did during mid 00 years, when they launched the Dacia Logan into the Western European market at an extremly low price, looking ugly, spartanic equipped, while the CEO of this Romanian sister of Renault said, that "cheap" is no reason for uglyness and the styling of them changed... but also prices raised from € 6.500 to 11.300 €.
