10 Awful Cars We're Happy Are Dead

The guys from The Fast Lane Car have put together another top 10, this time looking at a load of deceased cars we hope are gone for good

Personally, we reckon the Trabant has enough charm to overcome its awfulness (and the later models with the VW engines aren’t quite as bad), but otherwise, this looks like a solid list.

Any you disagree with?

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Learn From mistakes otherwise manufacturers would just churn out the same cars

“They (Saturn) built their own vehicles, they were completely different from all the other GM products of the time” And they show a rebadged Opel…

Also, mixing fuel and oil was not an issue back when the Trabant was made because you could buy premixed petrol at the petrol stations.

Btw, why is a car bad, because it is ugly, or has a stupid name? I thought they are going to talk about handling, and malfunctions etc, but instead it was “Yeah, stupid name… it’s ugly” and that’s it… Also why is the HHR bad? Because it is boring, well, all minivans are boring, at least it looked apart.

“Jagwar”
Why do Americans pronounce it “Jagwar”?
Just why?

Because “freedom, f*ck yeah” includes the right to have a different way of saying things.

So you like Saturn, yet you say it’s crap… I don’t follow.

Why is the Prius not on this list?

Of course the Aztek is in the thumbnail.

I don’t like these guys. This car was a really good car, but the name wasn’t good. Why does that make it a bad car? That’s a joke. The speal on the Probe made me turn it off and completely disregard everything they said about the others.
