Wedges, with their missile-like profile scream power and speed, the design although still popular today kicked off in the '70s with a mix of gorgeous cars and ugly ducklings. The gorgeous ones, Lamborghini's Countach, Lotus Esprit and dozens of Ferraris all crowd pleasers in their own right from famous Italian design studios steal the attention away from uglier cars that gearheads chose to ignore. However, the same big names, Bertone, Giugiaro and Pininfarina have also had their off days, ask anyone old to remember the Lancia Montecarlo, and they will likely attest big names do occasionally get it wrong. Picking and choosing between decades of wedge shaped sports cars for the ugliest ones comes with personal choice, what is ugly to one gearhead is beauty in the bare metal to another.
