Ten Worst Cars Ever Sold in the US-- Part 1

From the Feb. 26th Chicago Tribune according to David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports' automotive test center. By Jerry Hirsch.

1. 2011 PONTIAC AZTEK-- Consensus pick for worst car of all time. Probably did more than anything else to kill Pontiac. Plug-ugly and odd design/

2. 1974 FORD MUSTANG II-- Essentially a rebadged Pinto. A "shrunken, malformed pony."

3. 1987 YUGO-- Low-price leader when it hit US market. Not a pretty thing.

4. 1971 CHEVROLET VEGA-- Should have had the Nova name because in Spanish, that means "doesn't go." A car built with contempt for its buyers. Drove buyers to buy the better Toyotas and Hondas.

5. 2003 SATURN ION-- "A cramped interior, uncomfortable seats, insubstantial cabin furnishings and uneven steering feel."

More Baddies Coming. --Cooter
