    All these other so-called 'worst cars' pale into insignificance when compared to the abysmal Lightburn Zeta

    A 2door station wagon with no tailgate so accessing the luggage area meant removing the seats. Its fuel gauge consisted of a small glass tube filled with petrol, dashboard mounted for the height of luxury & safety. The Zeta sales brochure bizarrely dubbed it a 'super car' (the only thing it could leap in a single bound was out of gear). Styling rated as 'unique' and included tailfins that protruded from the roof while its frontal treatment and bulging headlights looked like nothing else .. except what you might find within the darkest recesses of a wholesale fishmarket

    Truly a horror like no other. So if you haven't seen one before, prepare to avert thyne eyes

    My mom has one, and buying it is one of our greatist regrets, we wish we would have bought a Taurus or a Honda. I like how it waits until after we paid the bills or a time when we are tight money wise, then deciedes to break down. Because of that POS, we have a bookmark in the section of the phonebook that lists the towing services and repair shops.

    There is nothing wrong with powerful cars. Every car save for the H2 and Escalade that you named is supposed to be fast and comfortable. They are gran tourers, not high strung sports cars like your precious exige. Try driving one of those for a couple hours and you will see the point of cars that blend speed, luxury and style.

It was built to safely run over 600 bhp while being the most easily customisable sports car because you could access and control: boost levels, fuel injection, etc from a laptop. It was a racer's dream cap because it could handle all the power from mods and provided lap data as well as easy access to the ECU to tune the car without picking up a wrench.

    The worst recent cars on my list would be the Honda Insight, Volkswagon Beetle, Ford Excursion, Suzuki Swift, PT Cruser, Merc CLK 230, and of course the Aztec

    I was also unhappy with the F50 since it had no performance advances over the F40 but its nowhere near as bad as the cars I named before.

    Your textbook definition of a fanboy, although he has a point about the skyline being a tuner and racer's dream.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    I won't even waste my time arguing against this point, but will simply tell you to buy all 29,054 versions of the Skyline in GranTurismo4 while masturbating to a GTR in Need for Speed Most Wanted.
