    Pretty much like that other thread, but reversed.
    Post the abortions of the car industry that should have never been put into production here.

    Everyone's favorite piece of crap, the PT cruiser:

    WHAT! sure GM has made some crappy cars, as have all manufactures but GM has also built some fantastic cars. Also what makes GM's outside US brands better than there US brands.

    OT: I think the Pinto should have been reconsidered, even though they sold many and it was competitive with it's competitors, it badly damaged Fords image. Also the Mustang 2 should not have been on the Pinto platform.

    Lets say... Holden, Saab... perhaps... the unlucky Opel? Any other great car makers GM has ruined? Any thoughts anybody?

    GM deserves no mercy. Build quality and V8's shall be GM's reasons of death.

    OT:

    Skoda 120
    skoda-120-01.jpg

    Now, this may sound strange coming from me, but let me talk you through: that thing was the worst thing that Skoda ever encountered. In the 70's skoda had this perfect car planned: Skoda 720. Everything was completely engeneered to the complete nip nop, it was ready for full production really, tests and everything was done.
    It was a Front engined Rear wheel drive car, and for its time, it was really really good. If it would go into production, BMW's and other western car manufacturers would have a hard time beating this, but that is exacly what the Soviet union did not want.
    They were afraid that their Zighulis and Volhas would not seel good, and so they cut this whole project off. Then they told Skoda literraly to make something worse, and from that became the Skoda joke, the 120 was based on the 1000 MB, which was made since 1965, so old tech, RR platform... a traghedy. IF this car would go into full production, skoda would be a conpany with a good name and probably would not be owned by VW today.

    Well many of the V8's GM has produced over the last 60 years are some of the greatest things GM has ever built. Some cars were built great, some were built horribly, It's like that with ANY brand, but of course some more than others. The brand really doesn't matter much they are just about the same now just different badges and bodies on identical chassis and engines. You can thank the US gov. and US labor unions for most of GM's problems.

    OT: The Yugo should have never seen the light of day. :p

    What, why mustang? It had a 5 star saftey rating, a powerful engine for the price of a normal sedan, and basically invented the pony car

    Hey guys, let's hate a practical precursor to the crossover because it looks ugly!

    But yet you guys still put these buckets of fuck out:

    the problem there is that none of those minivans you just posted are still in production, so your point is invalid

    also welcome to planet earth, where lots of people base things purely on looks

    What is it with the hate on the PT cruiser? Its just a melty version of a 1937 wolseley, its like some designer somewhere saw that shape and wondered how to wrap modern bodywork around it. Its not a nice looking car but its not THAT bad. They at least proportioned it properly.

    The visual part is debatable. However, the PT Cruiser is poorly built, unreliable, and overall a shit car to drive.
