The guys who yuk it up on the Car Talk show on National Public Radio came up with a good marketing gimmick. Through a web site, they polled folks on the worst cars of all time. The good news here is that this list will be harder to develop a decade from now.
Cars are that much better.
But the '70s and early 80s were the glory days for bad cars. The winner, not surprisingly, was, drum roll please, the Yugo. But the stories were numerous. One wag suggested buying two of the cars, since you could be certain that only one would be running at any given time. Actually, I almost bought The Chevy Vega, which placed second, with 16 percent of the votes.
