Ugliest cars in India - Renault Logan

I'm a very reasonable person and I like the Logan. A decent car with no sky-high ambitions, the Logan is a basic A to B mode of transport. It's priced right and is cheap to maintain. The low price owes much gratitude to the cost-effective manufacturing techniques adopted by Mahidra Renault. Thanks to that, they can sell it at rock-bottom prices which will make even smaller cars seem over-priced.
Now to the titular case. It's not a stylish car. It's well-designed with smart design elements which aim more at practicality and comfort. Add to that the cost-cutting measures and the end result is a car which looks cluttered. There are too many straight lines on the Logan for a new age car. Ask a kid to draw a car and he'll draw one which looks strikingly similar to the Logan. That's not a compliment, Renault! This is more of a ruler-and compass work. Since renault is well known since time immemorial for the quirky styling of their cars, this isn't a surprise.
Mahindra-Renault has introduced a couple of new versions in new shades with alloy wheels and the works. But the bad styling is something which can't be covered up with these add-ons.
