Forbes Magazine worst car list

[Bubba1]

Forbes magazine just announced their worst cars list. It was based on several criteria, including unsafe, poor styling, poorly marketed, public relation disasters, poorly engineered.

Here's their list:

AMC Pacer 1975-80Citroen SM 70-72Fiat Strada 78-88Ford Bronco II 83-89Ford Edsel 57-59Ford Pinto 71-80Honda Accord 1978 (this one surprised me)Mazda RX-2 1971Oldsmobile Delta 88 79-84Pontiac Fiero 1984Renault Dauphine 56-68Sachseuring Trabant 57-62Yugo 89-91

Fortunately, no Nissans. Anyone have any others? I can think of a couple:

AMC Gremlin (where's the rest of your car, toots?)Renault Le Car (more like le crap)

Oops. I accidently omitted Forbes #2 choice: Chevy Vega

Renault owns a lot of Nissan, unfortunately. Good thing that doesnt show in the products.

Yeah, Pintos get a bad rap, but if youre into living in your car, you can easily fit a matress into the wagon and still get much better mileage than you would in a van. Plus, theres the added fun and drama of knowing if you get hit in the back your car will combust! Sounds like a winner to me.

Sounds about right to me, but what was wrong with the Accord?

Man the RX-2 is a neat car. Damn Forbes

<-- Owned a 76 Vega "wagon", it was passed onto me by my Grandfather, was only running on 3 cylinders at the time . He painted it candy apple red and had gotten a great deal on boat-trailer tires. The white walls were a nautical theme ... rope patterned.

My guess is the 78 Accord (they were called Accord CVCC's), was the first bigger car they brought over and it flopped.

[Onizuka]

Awww, they left out all the rolling heaps from the U.S.S.R.

If its built on 20 year old technology and needs to be repaired on a weekly basis, its sure to be a russian classic.

[Hijacker]

i'm surprised to see that now cars newer than '91 (Yugo) were on that list.

[krazy skwerel]

I'm suprised the damn Aztek wasn't on there!

[Mr1der]

oh yeah, Ford domination!:ylsuper

[Metroyed]

Remember that when Honda first started it was a lot like what Hyundai is today.

My dad bought a 78 Accord CVCC hatch. That thing was ugly. So, so ugly. I think he paid $700 in the early 90s. He said he wanted to restore it but common sense I guess kicked in and he gave it away or something. It ran and ran and ran and ran and ran... and I hated it.

I get great joy from seeing that 30% of the list is manufactured by Furd.

The blue oval sucks. Always has, always will.

Like I always say, Found On Racists' Driveways

[AZhitman]

Sure that's not Retards' Driveways?

[I30T]

Sorry, my mistake. They're one and hte same.
