that none of the true quirky cars like an Aztec (I actually thought it was a good idea gone bad) or an X-90 are being made anymore. I would say the bad cars are the dinosaurs that refuse to change like Rangers and Trailblazers. You get bad just because the completion has moved forward. The worst new car would be the Sebring and Avenger. So little effort was put in to these that Chrysler deserves the sales numbers they are getting with them. |

Looks like the Sebring might be the early leader. Worst might also include something that was just a less than stellar idea rather than a real clunker too. Grist for the mill |
|
why did the Pacifica get the pick for 2007? I know it was no great shakes, but I kinda liked them, especially once they started putting 4.0 V-6es in them.

the Suzuki Reno and Forenza to the running: the last of the pre-Y2K old school Daewoos, still being sold years later with the Szuki badge on them. Awful reliability (dragging down Suzuki's company-wide ratings), awful resale, junky to drive (rented one this year when the rental place had nothing else left), and if all you wanted was a cheap car, you could have got a lower price at Hyundai, Nissan or Ford, all of which made a better compact car. Oh, and the '08 Mitsubishi Raider? Now there was a great idea......NOT! LOL

People will say the Element is ugly but it's not even in the Aztek's league. Once GM brought Lutz on board their tolerance for hideous appliances took a nosedive. |

...perhaps a dinosaur like the Mercury Grand Marquis could be consider the worst only because it's obsolete. Still, I would probably buy one because I prefer big old school sedans like it.

Herky-jerky transmission, unstable, darty, low MPG for what it is. Minor accidents cause major damage, little dealer support and high costs of ownership. Adding insult to injury an already expensive car is selling for thousands over msrp! Stupid, stupid, stupid. Smart FTL!!! |
|
I'd love to nominate a "worst car", but I'm handicapped because so many of them are no longer sold where I live: Buick, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Lincoln , Mercury, Nissan, Pontiac and Saturn.  I thin I'll go with the "Smart" car: it holds nothing, goes nowhere and makes mounains out of potholes. |
