I owned a 1964 Chev. Corvair 500 and loved it.
Drove like a dream on the highway - 75 Miles per hour.

I think the Edsel gets votes merely on reputation. In other words, people grew up hearing the Edsel was the biggest flop, and it gets ingrained and repeated back.

What about the 70's Ford Pinto?

1977-90 Chevy ChevetteThe best thing you could say about this car is that at least they got the scale right
No, the best thing you could say about this car is that it was capable of turning multiple 360s on light ice. A short wheelbase and rear-wheel drive transmission meant that you could spin to your heart's content. Until you flipped. :-)

Heck, I owned at least half of those vehicles in my life, bought used, of course.

The absolute worst idea that ever made it to production, without doubt is the Pontiac Aztec.
Hey honey, lets go camping in the back of the car!
To: wallcrawlr
And from what I have seen of the new GTO that Pontiac is going to produce, it looks like a fancy Grand Prix. Will be a BOMB.

What's unfortunate, if not downright embarrassing, is that this list could be doubled or tripled AND the fact they people actually had the lack of knowldege (and still do) about cars to actually buy these.Some European cars were so good I still wish they made them today. The BMW 2002 comes to mind. With a few minor improvements they could make this today and it would still be one of the best cars on the road.

There was a Cadillac in the eighties that looked like it had been rear-ended into a wall and someone tried to fix it but turned it, by mistake, into a hatchback. I always thought it was bigtime fugly.

Before I even opened this thread, I thought "Pacer or Gremlin."
I'd have to go with Pacer by a nose.
AMC never did better than the Javelin, which was also a piece of crap.

Re: the Gremlin... "Were the designers at AMC blind? How could they consistently turn out so many hideous cars? LOL. Phew, that is funny.
To: wallcrawlr
How did the Chevy Vega avoid the list? I swear that car body was made out of compacted rust.

62 Rambler American Classic. Worst car ever to hit the road.
'64 corvair=car of the future.

An uncle of mine bought an AMC Eagle Wagon abck when they first came out. The thing was in and out of the shop constantly. He was always bumming rides or driving loaners. After a while it became a running joke in our family, and we kidded him mercilessly about what a lemon he had blown his money on. To this day you can still elicit a groan and a pained look by just mentioning the AMC Eagle to my uncle.

In April 2002 I bought a new 2002 Honda Accord, loaded.
Big mistake, I could easily list my car as #11.
To: wallcrawlr
Oh well, at least you didn't have this on the list:
The Austin Allegro
Taste somehow died during the 1970's.
