THE TOP 10 WORST CARS IN AMERICA

10: 1971 Ford Pinto

With a fuel tank in front of the bumper a crash would send this " fire prone death trap" into flames, the other problem was a small car that had bad fuel economy.

9: 1917 Chevrolet D series

It was fitted with the first V8 engine that gave only 38 horse power which was less than the regular four cylinder so they went withe the Model T instead the Chevy V8 came back 37 years later 1954.

8: 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Diesel

The 5.7 liter was bad but the 4.3 liter was worse, put only in the 79 Cutlass the 4.3 liter produced only 90HP before it was scraped.

7: 1982 Cadillac Cimarron

Supposed to compete with European cars such as BMW all it was, was a rebadged Chevrolet Cavalier this bad awful car rightful yearns it's place in number 7.

6: 1958 Ford Edsel Corsair

Ford went looking for a new car and a rebadged Mercury that looks bad and the front was not good looking, this is one of the bad cars of the 50's.

5: 2003 Saturn Ion

Boring to drive,bad interior also the body panels have gaps that where not thought of well.

4: 1971 Chevrolet Vega

Engine that couldn't hold oil the car that made Americans buy Toyotas and Hondas, small but did make a good Pro Stock Racer.

3: 1987 Yugo

A seberbian made Fiat 127 that was slow and bad fuel economy it couldn't be as bad as it was suggested... But it was.

2: Ford Mustang ll

Built on a pinto chassis = bad car #10 and also put mustang buyers in a fuel crisis.

1: 2001 Pontiac Aztec

After 84 years this is the car to retire Pontiac. It's exterior was horrible with a interior to match. The drive was terrible and like a lot of cars on this list...Bad fuselage economy.
