Re: The worst cars ever made?

That was a stupid list. First of all, the Gremlin was way worse than the Pacer, yet I didn't see it on the list.
Secondly, they listed the Trabant (though they didn't name any models!) and like most of the people who are critical of the little East German auto, they can't actually think of anything wrong with it!
Then of course, the Yugo is in the top ranking (a U.S. Yugo isn't even pictured) despite the fact that 80% of Yugo owners were perfectly happy with their car, and reliability wise the Yugo beats many other car makers, such as Volvo, etc.

And dauphine criticized for being slow? Like a 50's VW beetle was any faster? They'd probably praise the beetle for being slow, yet they blast the Dauphine, at least it had a REAL TRUNK unlike the beetle, and it had four doors.

And Vega's 90hp was low?

Well what else would you expect from those who know nothing about cars whatsoever?
