Worst cars of all-time?

Here is the list:

http://www.insideline.com/features/100-worst-cars-of-all-time.html

While I don't agree with all of them, please use this thread to confess your sins.

How many, and which ones have you owned?

I can say that I honestly haven't owned any of them... but there are 5 or 6 that I would like to!

Where's the Tempo? Had three of those hunk of junks.

It was like a list of cars I'd like to own; with only a few exceptions.

Not a single one - my grandfather owned a Chevette that I borrowed on occassion, but that is as close I got.

Some of the reasons for the cars to be on the list were pretty lame. C3 Corvettes because they made crappy horsepower - well then you pretty well have to list every late 70's car.

I've owned at least three.

One I paid too much for, the other, I paid not enough for.

I would own any car on that list without any qualms, so long as it was in good running condition...

I think I'm the only person alive who loves pretty much all cars. I seriously love them all, as long as it works and is reasonably safe, toss me the keys and I'll find a way to have fun with it. This includes Ladas, Corollas, I've spent 2 days beating on a rental Cobalt automatic 4 door on Mt Tremblant and had a blast, minivans, trucks, whatever...

The only cars I dislike... and I know I'm going to catch hell for this, are cars like the 911, GTR etc. Cars I know I should like but I don't see anything extraordinary about them, yet the whole world trips over itself rushing to swing off their sack. So instead of just liking them as much as any other car, all I can think of when I see one is all the relentless fanbois spewing adverbs and statistics (I bet half of car forums have the Nordschleife time of the GTR and 911 GT2 memorized, yet none of them have been there - I have, in an E46 318i auto, loved it).

I've owned 17 of them. Still own 2 (different model years).

Don't regret any of them.

I can't imagine anyone turning down a 1953 Corvette.

Heck yes. I own number 4 on that list a 1987 Yugo!

Seriously that list was beyond stupid.

The TR7 in no way deserves to be on that list at all.

That's such a crappy list.

thats what I got from the list... heck after watching breaking bad i'd even go for an aztek lol...

i'm still amazed that they missed the dust-buster reference on the 1990 Chevrolet Lumina APV (mini van thing)

That's one of the top ten all time worst, worst car lists.

+11tybillion.

Could call it "a random list of cars that we find fault with, because we think we are 'cool''

stupid list.

That's the "I'm repeating all the car stereotypes I've ever heard, but have no direct knowledge about these cars list." Add him to the 100 worst listmakers list.

The logic behind a lot of the selections was really poor. I'm surprised he didn't just come out and say "It's on the list because I personally just didn't like the car" or "I was stuck driving a '91 Lumina APV van for 9 years while my kids were young and I'm angry about it"

Nope...It's in there.

"86. 1990 Chevrolet Lumina APV: Plastic-bodied van with an aardvark nose and dashboard top big enough to host a track meet. The Chevy and its Pontiac or Oldsmobile equivalents were so stupid-looking they were nicknamed the "Dustbuster" vans. | December 9, 2011 | General Motors Corporation:"

How could any 100 worst list exist without a Prius on it?

Has there ever been a list of cars (either good or bad), that was not directly related to GRM or GRM's forum members, that was relevant to us at all? I'm recalling every time someone posts a link to a top 10 or whatever number list of the best/worst/stupidest/.... cars, the author has absolutely no concept of anything automotive.

SUBARU XT?!?!?! THE HELL YOU SAY!!!

thats how I feel. I like me some Porsche, but GTR? Veyron? Meh.

I think its funny how non-car folks notice it sometimes.

"Is that a VOLVO that you have as your desktop background?"

Yes. Yes it is.

The TR7 in every way deserves to be on that list at all.

In every "Worst cars" list I have ever seen, the 7 has been included. I owned one and it was crap. Where there is smoke, there's fire. Unless it's coming from a Lucas wiring harness. Then there is no fire.

They list the Mazda REPU !!!!!!!! What a bunch of berkeleying idiots!!!! They claim it had the hauling capacity of a shopping cart. When in fact the had a payload rating of 1400lbs. Talk about doing their research,huh? I would say of that era the REPU is one of the coolest mini trucks you could buy. 37 years later I still think they are cool. This list sounds like it was put together by a group of people that have never driven period let alone one of these listed vehicles.

But it is fun to drive and has an awesome interior layout and it looks cool.

I would rather daily drive a TR7 then 99% of modern cars.

Just to be clear... I didn't create the list and am in no way affiliated with the site / list maker.

I think the list was created by the "a car is an appliance" crowd.
