That's an interesting list of cars. It's no surprise that the Yugo smokes the competition for being the worst car.

They left out the Pontiac Aztek. Ugliest car on the planet.

If the Citroen SM was such a bad car, why is it so sought after now? And it was far from the first hydraulic suspension that Citroen offered, in fact they were introducing it into the production lines in the late 50's.

Hey! I loved my Pinto, besides the gas tank thing gave me a glimmer of home after my wife got the car in the divorce settlement!

Hmmmmmm - who TF wrote this???

Citroen SM was/still is exceptionally advanced - hydraulic suspension (Dave will know way more than me on this) and a Maserati 2700cc engine

Fiat Strada - pioneered new production technology and wasn't a bad car at all for 1977. Plus yyou got the 105TC/Abarth 130TC

Pontiac Fiero - well I liked it (despite it now being used as a basis for a F355 replica - sacrilege!!)

What the hell were they smoking at Pontiac when they decided to put this piece of crap into production.

Nice to know that Honda's transmission problems started nearly three decades ago.
