I have to disagree with the '80 Cali. Corvette 305, because it's no trouble to swap in an '81 350 in a way that's even legal in Cali.

Is it wrong to be disappointed when the Fiero doesn't make the list? Guess I've gotten used to the Fiero bashing over the years.

Ha! That list is relatively subjective.....a lot of grey area here.

In my opinion they should have included the RO 80 from NSU.
Legend has it that when RO 80 owners waved to other fellow RO 80 owners,
they would hold up their fingers to indicate how many warrantied engines they had replaced!

Kit

Amphicar? Corvair? Bricklin? Delorean? Why?

the DMC-12...now that is crossing the line...whoever wrote this sucks goat pecker.

The '58 Edsel was a '58 Ford with an ugly front wrap and an ugly rear end. Using their logic(?), the '58 Ford should have been listed.

There is no logic.
1958 Lotus Elite? Those cars were classics when new. Very fast. Most of them were raced, it seems. Good luck finding one anywhere, at a reasonable price.
I think they pay some peckerwood a dollar a word to come up with some BS "10 BEST, 10 WORST" list so they can fill gaps in unsold ad space.
Worthless list, like they all are.

Really? No LeCar, for example? This list is wrong...all wrong. Half of those cars do not belong on that list.

i can see the camaro iron duke on this list :P that thing would be Super Slow!!

And there it is.
A 1982 Camaro SHOW CAR.

Man, I always wanted one of those!

the shelby..his first one....should be on that list...he put a big engine in a small car...get over it....

------------------

BMW 7 series and no mention of the lada Niva. Every 1920's car was a pos big deal this list is crap and has no merit. Time Magazine may have crediblity but this list proves not in this case. Why mention a lambo when they only sold a handful.

its probably a list based on popular opinion or total sales. the edsel is commonly referred to as the UGLIEST (personally i kinda like it lol), but ive never heard of performance of reliablility issues. and the midget as quite popular nowadays. in my area at least, they are more common on craigslist than Fieros are lol.

quote Originally posted by Black Lotus: And there it is. A 1982 Camaro SHOW CAR.

I say it every time it comes up: I'd SO totally buy a 2.5 Camaro or Firebird if I could find one in perfect condition. It would be great to take to shows!

those ranks are totally subjective; they mean nothing.

A friend of mine in high school had an '85 Firebird SE with a specially ordered set-up: A 2.5 Duke and tow package. His mom ordered it that way and he inherited it in 1989. A Firebired putting around sounding like a 4 cylinder duke. LMAO.

quote Originally posted by chrismclubm: those ranks are totally subjective; they mean nothing.

Exactly. That's why they're not worth the paper they're printed on.

Seriously, they have real junkers like the Yugo on the list along with cars like the Model T and the Explorer which are only on the list because they were successful.

The list is for "Worst" and not for Ugly or not a classic etc. The Covvette, DMC12 and Amphicar could be collectibe and classic but were a POS like the Pinto, Yugo or Maserati Biturbo. Lot's of quality problems. The Fiero had the GM average quality with a HOT (read fire) reputation. I have seen many of these "worst cars) books and the Fiero has never been there

The 1960 corvair caveman was way worst then the 61. But then, All 1st gen Corvairs where bad. Shhh Don't tell Corvair Nazi I said that.

The Model-T is on the list........really? Whoever wrote this needs to explain what worst means.

quote Originally posted by Chump: The Model-T is on the list........really? Whoever wrote this needs to explain what worst means.

Its on the list. Not because it was a flimsy, rattely pice of junk, but because it was successful and introduced mass-produced automobiles at affordable prices to millions. Its sort of like blaming the invention of penicillin for the overpopulation of the planet.
