I can't believe the "Thing" missed this list. What a mess. I have a hard time believing it passed highway safety tests and was allowed out on the roads. Also, the Isuzu Amigo is not on the list. It may have been ok mechanically, but looked awful. The final straw was the commercial jingle. One vehicle that was killed by its advertising. I don't like the Honda Ridgeline because it reminds me of the Amigo.

Replying to: andys120 (May 09, 2009 10:53 am) Not sure why motorcycles don't suffer the same fate, but apparently Harley can make a motorcycle as bad as the worst American cars, but get away with it for decades. Which leads me to conclude that some of the "worst" cars are as much about marketing failure as about mechanical failure. Harley Davidson is a marketing superstar.

Replying to: cimbriano (May 09, 2009 3:03 pm) I bought an Astro the same model year. Msrp $24,000. Rebate, -1500, GM card earnings, -1750, GM card earnings rebate, -1750, nego discount, -800, sales tax +1488 and you have $19688 total. Not both at $20k exactly, but close. Both vehicles had a/c, cloth seats and a radio. Astro also had: alloy wheels, auto trans, rear a/c, cd, cassette, PW, PM, PDL, remote entry, rear wiper, deep tinted windows, roof rack, towing capability, and dealer add ons like undercoating and pin stripes. The civic went out the door for same price with none of these items. The Civic has been driven about 60,000 more miles and the two biggest repair items on the Astro are for features not even on the Civic.
