I remember when the Crossfire first came out, I went down the local dealer to look at it. It had a $10K ADM... I am pretty sure I laughed out loud.

Consider the grim reality that someone probably paid it.

I remember they were doing the same for the PT Cruiser too...in 2000 a loaded one would bring nearly 30K!

The bonus version of the Worst cars of the year list. Same cars but in the Car and Driver version you get all the reader comments. Some are great! Heck, there's even a guy in there claiming that the Mustang II wasn't bad. Yes it was. Monstrously so.

Yeah and there are people who think Hitler was misunderstood, too.

Here's what she said (from an alternate car universe):
'Well, I guess I'm one of the "most socially inept enthusiasts," because I still love my Mustang II...and yes, it is the "despicable 1975 Mustang II Ghia notchback coupe with the half-vinyl roof!" Sure, it never had any power...but, it's still the most stylish car in the parking lot whenever I go to the supermarket!"

Wow.... this really takes me back..
 
My first new car was a '77 Mustang Cobra II with a 302-V8.. For '77, it was very quick.. But.. .probably the worst piece of crap ever produced.. By the time I sold it in 1982, with still under 50K, it was totally worn out..
 
On another note, my girlfriend had one of the Mustang II Ghias with the landau roof.. White over red.. She sure was cute..
 
The girl.. not the car..

Defending the Malibu ? by guss

I can't believe I am sticking up fot the '97 Malibu, but it was not a bad car.
 
Back in '97 I had a choice for a company car . It was between a Taurus, Intrepid and a Contour. I went with the Malibu because it was totally new and seemed closest to being a Accord beater than anything Detroit ever made.
 
Well, it was boring. It did not do anything great, but it did not do anything badly either. The v-6 was adequate, for 5 hp more than the 4 though it made a huge difference .
 
It did like to eat lower control arms. I think I had them replaced 4 times in 60k miles.
 
But as far as worst cars ever, no it does not belong on that list.
