The way out is through
Default

Here's my list...

Dodge Durango (US)

The more tricked out the Durango, the bigger the prick driving it.

Runners up: Ford Explorer (started the whole SUV crazy) and Pontiac Aztec (still the worst looking vehicle ever made. EVER.)

Mercedes 240D (Germany)

Kevin hit the nail on the head. Awful car, and the reason why we hardly see any turbo diesels in the states, even though new ones are just as clean and more efficient than gasoline cars for commuting. That's how bad and lasting this car had on the US public.

Yugo (Europe)

Yes it's cliche... but this was the best engineering that Yugoslavia could offer the rest of the world. If I were Yugoslavia, I would have shot myself in the head... which is essentially what happened over there isn't it.

Jaguar XJ12 (UK)

"Ohh... it's luxurious! Ahh... V12 engine!" I'm sure the superficial investment bankers of the 1980's loved this icon of power and prestige. Too bad it ran like ass, broke more often that it worked, and cost 10 times too much to repair than it should. Although, it's not that bad looking of a car, it get's my vote for the worst thing to come out of England since the Rolling Stones circa 1980+.

Honda Civic (Japan)

Ok, so the Honda Civic is actually a world class, excellent car. I'm not saying it sucks. What does suck are the things that people do to these poor cars. I mean really, W. T. F. is wrong w/ people? A dragon? And I bet it's his daily driver for his commute from mom's basement to his job as a stockboy at Walmart.

I hope that bottle on the ground next to it is there 'cause someone threw it at that car.

BTW: I found that picture GISing for "Honda Civic"... I didn't actually have to search for "rice" or "atrocity".
