Great Pictures of Un-Great Cars

They have the H2 and Honda Element in the same boat as the Ford Pinto and Yugo.... Pretty funny.. I have to agree with them on every one.

Here's THE LINK

I actually like the Citroën 2CV, Pinto, Vega, and Scion Xb

I'm the owner of the Ford Pinto Mailing list http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/pinto/ and a founder of Fordpinto.com ...

Haven't owned a pinto since the early 90's, but I've had 4 of 'em... RWD 4 cly. cars are fun... to bad they don't make 'em like that in the usa anymore... Hopefully BMW will bring the 1 series over to the usa...

I would just like to know how a car that had a production run of like 40 years (not even in a comunist country) is a un-great car.

Pontiac Aztek
Routinely ridiculed for its unsightly design, the Pontiac Aztek mid-size SUV was launched late in the 2001 model year and lasted until 2005, struggling with disappointing sales and a constant barrage of criticism in the automotive press. Overuse of dark gray plastic body cladding on the 2001 model led to an emergency re-styling, but it was too little, too late. The Aztek had gone down in history as one of the ugliest cars ever made.

pwnt!

ford pinto's might have been a decent car if they did not explode during a collision. Sorry still wouldn't be that decent of a car.

I once had a Pinto it only went in reverse so I guess that wasnt a good thing and all knowing that the gas tank would explode

The Yugo got my vote. The Aztec is hideous but hey to each their own eh...

That's awesome! My mom had a Vega in high school and she always talked about what a POS it was. She said it was in the shop more than she could even drive it, seriously. Another funny thing about this... That Pinto in that picture is EXACTLY the same car my grandmother had for years! Color and all! It had plaid orange seats. lol! One thing about that car though, she never once had a problem with it and had it for like 15 years or more. She bought it brand new.
