2013 Ford Taurus
Ford is facelifting the Taurus for 2013, and while not exactly fugly I definately don't think it's an improvement.

While the Taurus reboot in 2010 was sleek and attractive, the 2013 refresh tries to bring in a hint of Mustang with it's new headlights. However these are complimented by a larger overwrought grille and fascia. The grille between the headlights is marred by strips of chrome that look like they were added as an afterthought. Down below is more chrome lipping the central portion of the grillework, splitting it into three segments with separate design themes. I think overall a bit too much is going on. I've attached my take on a slight revision to clean up the front end a bit.

Take #1 - No Chrome
Take #2 - Central Strip
2013 also brings a facelift and separate facial identity for the SHO. The grille between it's headlights is an expanse of black plastic mesh, whose simpler look looks better. However from certain angles this huge field of plastic looks a bit cheap.

Attact of the Clones
I wouldn't say they were fugly, so I don't know if this really applies. But isn't the Buick LaCrosse eerily reminescent of a Ford Taurus?
