Subject:Re: 50 worst cars, and the vanagon isn't one of them

"Worst" is pretty darn subjective. Some were judged "worst" purely
because of looks, marketing or the behavior of their executives. And
since looks are pretty subjective, some of those cars were and have
been on my want list.

To me, "worst" should be shoddily made. There may be a few other
things that I might question (aka H2), but if they are well built and
fill some niche they are would not be on my "worst" list.

Yugo, you bet.
Trabant, yep.

Delorean DMC12? Huh? Why? Because Delorean was caught with cocaine!?
Sheesh.

Triumph TR7 definitely. TR8? No. Though it looks similar there was
almost nothing of the TR7 in the TR8, and it was a well built car
(unlike the TR7). But Triumph was killed by the TR7. The fact that
the TR8 looked almost the same didn't save them.

Enough of a time killer. I've got to get dinner.
