The only one I don't agree with is the Ford BroncoII .. that was like the "original" SUV. That was discontinued and the year after, evolved into the Ford Explorer .. which I'm pretty sure is the best selling SUV of all time? ![Nod](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/nod.gif)
the Explorer had its problems, but when you sell that many (I think last year they celebrated the 5 millionth Explorer off the assembly line?) you have to expect some problems. I used to own a 91, it was a good truck til my mom totaled it

I've owned a few Pintos back in my struggling college kid days, and they weren't that bad. After all the exploding gas tanks media exposure, I could buy 'em running for $50-100.
If I could find a rust free 76 pinto coupe cheap, I'd like to stick a ford/merkur 2.3L turbo motor in it. 2200 lbs and about 250hp would work well for a sleeper. The Pinto fans have a decent internet presence. Check out FordPinto.com
I liked my Delta 88 too

I drove my old "89" Bronco II from Cali to Anchorage, I know why they named that truck the Bronco II. After driving thru Canada, the muscles in my shoulders were so swollen I looked like Quazimoto.

Ford Bronco II is a POS. My dad and a co-worker both had/have one. Constant repairs and gutless. I have heard others with quite a list of complaints as well.

Had a Vega - great handling car but needed more guts under the hood. Quality stunk just as all GMs of that time did. Its not fair to single out the Vega.
The Pinto wasn't so bad. There is even a fairly large group of them being raced in the MARRS (Mid Atlantic Road Racing Serries) and you'd be surprised at how quick they are.
The 4cyl Fiero was a toad. The 6cyl was pretty nice, but came out too late to save the car.

I wonder why the Olds Delta 88 is on the list?
My family had an '82 Delta 88 Royal Brougham, which I inherited in ~1992, and it was not bad at all. Only had the 307 engine, but it moved alright. It was certainly a highway druiser, I'll say that.
Only problems were some transmission issues around 80K, and the clip that held the driver's power window on track kept breaking. Hit the button and...*shooomp*, straight down into the door.

Oh shiznits, I almost forgot about the 1986 Oldsmobile 98 DIESEL I had one of those. Holy shiznits, it leaked like a sieve. I had my own oil well right there in my driveway!

Olds Delta 88 was hott, my dad had one when i was like 8. That thing was real big. I remember when we were coming home from vacation from Wildwood, NJ and the tranny blew getting on the highway. Hope that doesn't happen to my CL.
