10 of the Worst Cars to Come Out of the United States.
AMC Pacer, this woeful attempt of creating an economical people’s car made anyone blessed with the privilege of having a drivers license not a fan of the Pacer.

Mustang II, this hideous line of cars, which lasted five years, was the visual representation of the oil crisis the United States was dealing with at the time. With the highest trim, you could get 138 horsepower from a 4.9 liter V8, disgraceful to have the same name of a car that started a revolution in the car industry.
Chevrolet Citation, you should be glad that you didn’t know this car even existed, partly due to its terrifying styling, but mostly due to the worst name ever fitted to a car.
Chrysler PT Cruiser, a disturbing attempt at a blast into the past where wagons were a regular sight, specifically the “woodie wagons”, unfortunately it became one of the ugliest cars ever created and still plagues the roads of US today.
Pontiac Aztek, despite having a starring role in Breaking Bad, the Aztek is widely known for making people sick upon sight of the car. Bringing it back to Breaking Bad, the designer was probably on some sort of drug while designing this since not a sane human being would ever think of making something so ugly.
Cadillac Cimarron, just look at it, dull, slow, and built by people who didn’t care or didn’t know what they were doing. This was unfortunately branded as a Cadillac, the home to American luxury and style, represented by this turd looking car.
Ford Pinto, this “hatchback” was so ugly that it made you want to set yourself on fire. Conveniently, the Pinto did just that thanks to its rear mounted gasoline tank which was the cause of the fiery deaths of many of its customers.
Saturn Ion, although having a peppy performance version, the normal Ion was pathetic on all levels, the interior, the design, and the engine, were all apart of the unsettling vibe you get while looking at one.
Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Diesel, the idea of diesel taking over the automotive industry was very possible in Europe, but this being an example, it was not the direction for the United States. The 4.9l V8 Diesel in this car produced an atrocious 90 horsepower.
AMC Gremlin, love it or hate it, either way its a horrid car with an extremely thirsty V8 or a straight 6 from ancient times. The Gremlin is definitely ugly, but it has an odd ambience to it that doesn’t make me hate the car, kind of feeling sorry for it.

There’s actually a couple of cars on this list that I think look really good. The Ford Pinto in my eyes is everything except ugly, same can be said for the Cimarron.
I don’t know why but…. I always likeed the AMC Pacers look.
Come onnnnn, most of them have sexy body. like ford pinto man thats one of the sexiest thing. if u’re saying that “hatchback” is ugly, than it’s mean that wrx, corvette c7, 911, 928, 944, 968, gti, type R, c63, audi RSes, are ugly too? and are you doing all of this for just points?
The Aztek was chosen for Breaking Bad because they wanted a car that really didn’t “disappear in the masses” without needing an exotic or oldtimer.
The AMC Pacer doesn’t look too bad tbh
I dont mind the citation it actually looks kinda cool, same for the pinto, I can think of a lot more worse looking cars
I quite like the ION actually
I’ve owned my 2003 Saturn Ion since it was new, and honestly, it’s the most dependable vehicle I’ve ever owned. Hell! the first battery lasted TEN years! Performance wise there’s not much to be desired, but the suspension is rather stiff, making it relatively fun on downhill curves.
I guess you could say the designer of the Pontiac Aztek was on…crystal meth
b-b-b-but i love the Gremlin and the Pacer :(
