Re: Worst American Cars

Agree with all but the Eldorado. That car was a sweet looking ride back then.

Yeah, but it ain't too late for you to pick up one of those sweet Pacers if you hurry.



Hurry up, Pacers everywhere are exploding as I type.

The Gemlin wasn't that bad. I don't think they mentioned the car that had the engine and tranny fall out going over train tracks.

Wasn't there an AMC Gremilin or something in Wayne's World?

Re: Worst American Cars

wait? I thought the older Caprices were decent...

Plus, there wasnt significantly wrong with the Festiva (besides the occasional rust) but yeah...no pinto? WTF? and the Cimmaron should replace the Eldarado..

Re: Worst American Cars

The Ford Fiesta was actually built in Germany - and was a pretty decent car - the more recent Festiva was built in Japan - and wasn't quite as good (but still not that bad).
I don't see why the Corvair is ever included in these lists, it's not a bad car. I think people don't like it because it reminds them that a little overreaction can have long lasting undesirable effects (a little oversteer problem - and now 30 years later we're required to have hundreds of pounds of safety junk crammed into our cars - and it's our fault which makes it even worse).
