Jeep Compass Ugliest Car Ever Made
An Ugly Hard on the Eye Peice of Junk!
There it was just sitting there on the freshly cut lawn with no attention. The nasty khaki green colour caught my attention at the corner of my eye when merging off the 401 highway unto Kennedy rd.
What was this? It was the 2007 Jeep Compass... just sitting there all lonely and unappreciated.
So when I went with my mom to her local Chrysler dealer for an oil change... I was tempted to look at this piece of abstract sheet metal.
Well it stars off with a clean boxy design similar to that of the Calibers’ but once your eyes trail from the Kia Sportage-like rear you are interrupted by these horrid triangular shaped signals which are made of a hard cheap looking plastic material.
After the interruption you are pleased to see rest of the front of the car. An invitingly up-beat (un-freshened) Jeep Liberty face greets you but is still quite disturbing because of the ugly signals. The rest of the car is mediocre. The interior is very rough and uninviting… just as the Calibers’. It is filled with cheap plastics throughout the whole interior and is not pleasing at all.
This design leading as one of the ugliest car’s ever built… related to the Pontiac Aztec, the Toyota Prius, and the Toyota Camry. I would place this car right between the Camry and the Prius. The Compass may look somewhat photogenic in professional photos… but is not at all when seen in person.
Judging by the looks of this car… I would give it 3.5 stars, 10 being good and 1 being bad. For the overall car I would give it a 4.1. Still not up to par, but eh… someone will buy it!

I would say the term "RICE" or "Riced out" refers to the Asian cars (civics, integras, celicas, accords, etc). which get tricked out with exhasts, intakes, body kits, rims, etc. Ever heard of "rice rocket" that is also pretty much the same thing.
Oh by the way this does look like that.
One more thing: This thing really hurts the "Trail Rated" that Jeep's always advertising.

I wouldn't say it's ugly, but a street Jeep just doesn't look right, especially since you know it's a Calibre (I'd like to see them try to trail rate this).

I am not sure about the ugliest, but the Compass is bad looking, its twin the Patrior looks much much much better.

I saw one today. Jeep's target customer for the Compass was driving it. A late 20's hip female.
The Patriot looks a lot better than this......thing

Will - A 'rice' burner refers to a car, any car that came from any of the Asian shores. Stock or super modified, if it comes from the west it is considered a ricer, rice burner, rice rocket (also motorcycle), etc...
I am not sure how strong it is of a term in the mid west to west, but on the east coast it's a popular term.

Say what you will, but my opinion of the ugliest car ever made still rests fully with the Pontiac Aztec or Asstec.

formally...riced out means spending more money on "tuning" ur car than its worth.
and mark...a rice rocket is not a motorcycle...what your thinking of is a crotch rocket...
