Feel free to add your favorite crap cars

That article sucks.

Captions and text are inaccurate, those aren't all "lemons" (since when does poor-selling = "lemon"?), and the list left out many well-known crapmobiles.

+1 - several of those vehicles are hardly "lemons" at all and represent some large sellers for the repective companies...

Slow day for a rookie reporter at the NY Daily News, apparently.

That paper doesn't come close to the NY Times. I was slumming.

The AMC Gremlin could be added to the list

I don't think there was a single lemon in that article. Now there are some very bad sellers on that list. And to say the H2 and Excursion are lemons is far from accurate, but gas hogs yes.

Ok maybe the Pinto was a bad design. But not a lemon.

I was going to add the 1988 Daytona Shelby Z but you beat me too it. I had one, and it was pretty quick for what it was (2 door K car with a turbo) but the stupid thing blew head gaskets daily! I miss the T-Tops and the sweet sound of the turbo, but the car can burn in hell!
