Could it be that in Spanish Nova means "No go"?

Merkur XR4TI. http://members.tripod.com/~Merkur_Driver/complete.swf

Ford made this car in the states, it sells under a different name in Europe. The car is known for transmission and radiator problems. The car is a 4 cyl turbo, and runs so hot, that the plastic radiator always cracks. I went through 2 of them before I blew the engine. It left me stranded in the middle of the highway in Miami.

It comes with a 3 speed automatic transmission! Mine lost 3rd and reverse. Who needs reverse anyway!?!

how can we forget the Aztec. Pontiac tried so hard to be put on the list. I think the least we can do is nominate it as one of the biggest disasters in automotive history.

Aren't the Azteks selling? I think they are... same with the PT Cruisers. So technically they aren't a disaster. They may be a disater to look at....
