The Top 10 Worst Cars of All Time

  Previously I've blogged about the top 10 ugliest cars, top 5 Toyota's/ Top 5 Japanese Cars that should be sold in the USA, and the Top 5 Cars that should be sold here in the USA. Unlike the previous posts, I thought a post on the worst cars of all time should be given a try. I have read several books on the worst cars, and I compiled my own list of my top 10.

1971 Ford Pinto

  1. Ford Pinto. We all know how shitty the Ford Pinto is and how dangerous it is when it is rear ended. When it does get rear ended it will explode because the gas tank is located in the rear of the vehicle. The Ford Pinto was manufactured from 1971 to 1980 9 dreadful years of this garbage. To add how dangerous this car was, in 1973 Henry Smolinski developed a flying car based on the Ford Pinto, with the back half of a Cessna Skymaster called the AVE Mizar. Ironically Henry Smolinski died in a crash in a test flight of the AVE Mizar. The cause of the crash was a right wing strut detached from the pinto and the right wing folded and crashed. Not Such a Bright Idea is it? 

1988 Cadillac Cimarron

  2. Cadillac Cimarron. Here is a prime example of a badge engineering gone wrong. The good folks at General Motors must have been on drugs when they thought it was a good idea to rebadge a Chevrolet Cavalier as a Cadillac. The Cimarron, introduced on May 21, 1981, was initially advertised as "Cimarron, by Cadillac" and sales personnel were instructed by GM to not refer to the car as a Cadillac and to inform customers that it was, technically, not a Cadillac. This strategy failed, and it became the Cadillac Cimarron for 1983. Wait does this mean that we can't call it a Cadillac but it is a Cadillac? I guess GM thought that the buyers were stupid. Paying $12,181 for a Cavalier in Cadillac's clothing is ludicrous. 

Shitty Renault

  3. Renault Fuego. Where should I begin on this piece of shit. I could tell you that my uncle once owned one of these and doesn't like to be reminded of his experiences with it. His was a Renault Fuego Turbo. Every time he drove it, the radiator would melt on him, not to mention that the radiator was made of plastic. May I also add that French cars are not the greatest cars in the world.

Can You Say Girl Car?

  4. Mitsubishi i Hello Kitty Edition. Thankfully there was only one of these made. I'm not bashing the Mitsubishi i in anyway, only the Hello Kitty Edition from 2006. If this car doesn't describe "Girl Car" I don't know what is. I'm a guy and I wouldn't be caught dead driving or riding in this monstrosity. Just the thought of driving it gives me nightmares. I could get beaten up for driving this.

Trabant 601

  5. Trabant. If there has to be a prime example of why Communism sucks, the Trabant would be it. This car comes from the former East Germany, which was Soviet controlled from the end of WW2 to 1990. This car was ultra cheap and crappy. Also not to mention there was a waiting list for this shitwagon which is also a reason why Communism is a bad thing. Enough said here.

  6. Citroen 2CV. This car defines peasant's car. Not only is this car a piece of crap, it was also a very cheap car. 42 Miserable years this car was in production from 1948 to 1990. As you may have guessed, the French make bad cars. Actually the Citroen 2CV sold very well. A total of 5,114,966 of these ugly cars were produced in its 42 year run. Also I'd like to mention that the 2CV is very good for kit cars.

  7. Ford Mustang II. Why? Why? Why in the hell was this monstrosity produced? This car is a disgrace to the Ford Mustang nameplate. Shortening the wheelbase on a legendary car is just wrong. Hey this is what the Oil Embargo brought us back in the 1970s downsized muscle cars. Not only is this car despised today, it is ironically very desirable in the collectors market. I would like to add that the Ford Mustang II was based on a Ford Pinto. In addition to this being despised, the Ford Mustang II was produced from 1974 to 1978. 

  8. Hummer H2. Why is the Hummer H2 on this list? Well the answer is simple, it is unnecessary and a total waste of money. You see the typical person who wants to buy a vehicle that is based off of a military vehicle  has money burning a hole right through their pocket. Another thing is that the Hummer H2 is a total gas sucker. A Gas hog, a gas guzzler, that gets like 10 MPG or less. Thank God that General Motors discontinued this brand.   

 9. Aston Martin Lagonda. All I can say about this car is what the fuck. This car is beyond words in describing. It is an embarrassment to the Aston Martin brand by being an ugly ass sedan. Aston Martin does not need a sedan. Nor do I see James Bond driving one of these either. It looks like your typical 1980s boxy car. Enough said here. 

  10. Rolls-Royce Camargue. You'd think that the words Ugly Rolls-Royce would never be used in the same sentence together. Well think again. This has to be the ugliest Rolls-Royce ever made. It is a disgrace to the brand and should be shunned. The Camargue was made from 1975 to 1986 with 531 of these ugly ducklings produced.
