1) CHEVY CITATION/OLDS OMEGA/PONTIAC PHOENIX/BUICK SKYLARK
"This was GM's foray into frontwheel drive. Step on the brakes...and the
rear
wheels would lockup."
2) CHEVY CHEVETTE
"If ever there was a car that was slapped together, this was it!"
3) CHEVY CORVAIR
"The Corvair provided drivers with the unique opportunity to breathe
gasoline
vapors from the leaking gas tank in the front, and the oil vapors from the
engine in the rear...at the same time."
4) CHEVY VEGA
"The Vega lacked "body integrity, reliability, fit-n-finished, and handling.
What's left? Not much!"
5) DODGE ASPEN/PLYMOUTH VOLARE
"This car began to rust while it as still in the showroom-and it only ran
when it was 74 degrees, dry weather...and at sea level.!"
6) FIAT 124/128
"The father of the Yugo."
7) RENAULT DAUPHINE
"It cost about half the price of a Volkswagen...[and] had half as many parts
as any other car being sold."
8) VOLKSWAGEN MICROBUS
"It had no heat, blew over in the wind and used the driver's legs as its
first line of defense in an accident."
Last but least-our favorite:
9) YUGO
"Fortunately, the allies bombed the Yugo factory during the war in
Kosovo, so we won't be seeing more Yugos on the road anytime
soon."
