“Chevy Vega”

Once, many long years ago, I drive one as a rental car. Most hideous car I ever drove. Then GM came out with its consumer diesels that were just as bad but far more expensive. I concluded that GM was on a social justice thing, having screwed the poor with the Vega, it decided to even the score by screwing the rich with the diesels; a brilliant success in each case.
