Saw this posted on another forum and got a chuckle out of it.   ;D

Yeah, there's no bias in that article. ::)

Whomever the uncredited (or is that discredited?) author is, they need to learn the difference between "a car I personally dislike" and "worst".

^ Good lord, like every other article in to automotive industry, you take it with a grain of salt.  Something tells me you took it a little too seriously.  Personally, I found more comedy in it than genuine automotive journalism.

:iagree: It's obviously not a serious journalistic piece.

Worth a few laughs, though. Definitely agree with some of those picks...

I like some of the comments. The Freelander and ML320 were nightmares for some owners.

Too bad about the Lincoln LS. If Ford had put a little more effort and money into making it the “real deal” it would have been very successful.

"sympatico msn.ca autos" is pretty much the Chrysler Sebring of auto journalism....   thrown together, non-descript...

I always thought so too. It was just left to die on the vine. I thought using the Jag 4.0 was a mistake too.

What strikes me is that there aren't any really bad cars on the list, not like if you had done the same list on cars from the 80s or 70s.

What struck me about the list is that it's called 'The Worst Cars Sold in Canada in the Last Decade', yet they include a car that wasn't sold in Canada.

So they basically don't like anything that is different, is that it? I like the Maxx, Aztec & Sport Trac quite a bit, and don't see what the problem is with the Wave/G3/Swift... I'm mostly ambivalent about the rest, but wouldn't say they're the 'worst' cars sold in Canada...

Although not an Aztek fan, I agree with you.  I think the 2000 Cavalier or 2000 Neon should make the list.

Chevrolet Aveo/Suzuki Swift/Pontiac G3
Years sold: 2002 —
Our take: "Hi, I'm the G3…and I'm one of the reasons Pontiac was killed."

Ahahaahaahahhahhaha, best description ever, ahaahahaahahah.

I think the Plymouth Prowler was worse than all of those cars.
