Which Make and Model of Automobile was THE WORST EVER?

[Oceans11]

The Edsel was one of the most expensive corporate f-ups in history.
Now its a cult car, go figure.

The yugo and lada were bad.
The old Talbot/Chryslers werent far behind.

You could block the tiny tailpipe of a Yugo with your thumb and kill the engine...

The old skodas were crazy, the engine was in the back, the radiator in the front, and nearly three gallons of coolant connected the two ends with pipes running under the car.

The 2cv had an air-cooled 650cc flat twin that was the nearest thing to a mainenance free engine I have ever come across.
It ran forever, but it had to, top speed was about 60, downhill, and it took forever to get wherever you were going.
Going against the wind and slight inclines had a big effect on 'performance'.


Why do ladas have heated rear windows? To keep your hands warm when you push them.

When the rear end went on my Vega, the Chevy dealer accused me of racing it. Racing who? My grandfather in his wheelchair?"

As near as I could tell, the car was built from compressed rust.

My Chevy Vega actually broke in half going over railroad tracks. The whole rear end came around slightly to the front, sort of like a dog wagging its tail.

Burned so much oil, it was single handedly responsible for the formation of OPEC.

The Vega
At least it had heated rear windows--so your hands would stay warm while you pushed.

If you let Jim Rhome tell it, it was the Mercur XR4Ti!

But Yugo had to win the contest. The old Edsel actually had some nice features like push button automatic transmission that was located in the middle of the steering wheel similar to the Chrysler products of the time.

Besidesthe Cadillac 4-6-8 engine, the Olds Cutlass had a diesel engine that had more problems than God has!!Talk about a lemon!!

Mybrother -in -law had and American Motors wagon that blew up on him getting off an LA freeway, and caught fire. TOTALED!!
