    She got the ass-end of the bell curve.

    In my case, Grandpa's 1998 FSO Polonez farm beater.

    The rear bumper is held on by wood screws.

    Some bodywork parts came from a junkyard car in a different color shade, so you have 2 shades of red (plus paint fade), plus non-matching window anti-theft VIN etchings and a sticker for a VDO anti-theft radio (our car has the factory one).

    The hood paint is fading.

    The front bumper used to have two bump guards, but one fell off and left glue marks.

    The front left corner was bumped into, so there is a scratched fender, cracked bumper and a less worn left replacement headlamp.

    It has a baby-on-board sticker and either very 90s 3-spoke alloys (summer) or cheapo steelies (winter).

    The interior is falling apart and messy (random trash, cheap seat covers, loose trim).

    The suspension is worn out.

    Maybe it was a used car that probably was not maintained correctly by previous owners.

    LADA's were imported back in the 80's to where I live and they turned to dust in the snap of a finger.

    If it's one car that I really hate, it's the 2019 Chevy Blazer that's said to appear early next year. I personally don't like crossovers in general, but this one is god awful (Not to mention that it completely butchers the Blazer name and everything it stands for). The overall styling is horrendous, the lights are so slim it looks like it's squinting into the sun. The grille is way too big and there is this big bulge on the side that looks like a 12 year old made it in blender. While the old Blazer was a rugged truck with off-road capability this looks like another generic soccer mom blob that the most off-roading it will ever see is a curb in the mall parking lot. Also the back looks like if Grumpy Cat smashed his face into a wall. Way to ruin the Blazer Chevy.
    Some other cars I don't like:
    Anything new from Tesla, BMW, and Mercedes
    A lot of the small American 80s coupes/sedans (big boats don't count)
    The Mustang ll
    Most 2000s and up hatchbacks
    Anything riced, lifted, donked, ect
    Oh and the new Camaro that's also supposed to come out soon. Looks like someone fed it too much protein shakes and threw it in a meat grinder.

    Ever heard the phrase "don't judge the book by its cover"?

    And why don't you like the rest?

    "worst car that you have ever seen"
    I seen it. I don't like it. Also I have a hatred for crossovers because they are they are horrible in every aspect and they are unneeded. And yes most modern cars are not my type (Except for the new Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma, and a few other non-Toyota products)
    By rest do you mean the other cars I posted about?
    The Tesla, BMW, Mercedes, and hatches are just personal reasons that probably wouldn't make sense.
    80s American cars are really unreliable here (most have already died) and the small 80s cars don't look as nice as the big ones in my opinion.
    Mustang ll is annoyingly slow and looks dreadful.
    As for the riced, lifted, donked part, that's self explanatory.
    I already said my reasoning for the camaro.

    The worst car. Not the worst-looking car.

    Crossover are not a bad idea - wagon space, easy entry.
    80s US cars balanced quality shortcomings with low prices.
    And the Mustang is not much different than competitors (GM H-Body and 6-cylinder F-Body, Celica, 200SX,RX-3, MGB, etc.)

    By your logic, people shouldn't be able to criticize car designs?

    No, but a bad design does not make a car bad enough to go here, and is very subjective.

    This was based off design. And a lot of theses posts were also made about design. Also crossovers are basically SUVs but worse. They have less space, most of the time come with weak engines, and they are quite fragile compared to SUVs. Literally everyone I ask IRL says that they rather have an SUV. And yes I know the 80s was a hard time for cars. That’s one of the reasons why a lot of them ended up bad. As for the mustang ll all of those cars could still beat it.

    Doesn't make it worthy.
    Depends on the SUV and CUV compared.
    Not really, the car world got improvements in quality, durability, reliability and electronics.
    1975 A/T 0-60 data:

    - 350 Monza - 10.6s,
    - 302 Mustang - 10.9s,
    - 265 Monza - 11.9s,
    - 2.8 Capri - 12.5s,
    - 200SX - 13.4s,
    - MGB GT - 13.6s,
    - RX-3 - 14.5s,
    - 250 Camaro - 16.5s.

    Top speed:
    - 350 Monza - 117 MPH,
    - 265 Monza - 112 MPH,
    - 2.8 Capri - 109 MPH,
    - MGB GT - 108 MPH,
    - 200SX - 106 MPH,
    - 302 Mustang - 105 MPH,
    - 250 Camaro - 104 MPH,
    - RX-3 - 101 MPH,

    Great acceleration, mediocre top speed, but by no means bad performance.
    --- Post updated ---
    Then again, top speed wasn't so important with a nationwide 55 MPH speed limit.

    After MPH, let's talk MPG:
    - MGB GT - 19.3 MPG.
    - 200SX - 18.3 MPG,
    - 250 Camaro - 17.1 MPG,
    - 2.8 Capri - 16.5 MPG,
    - 302 Mustang - 16.2 MPG,
    - 265 Monza - 16.2 MPG,
    - RX-3 - 14.4 MPG,
    - 350 Monza - 14 MPG,

    The loser of the bunch seems to be the RX-3 - the slowest, yet nearly the thirstiest.

    The Datsun is the practical choice - not that fast, but fuel-efficient and reliable.

    The Mustang is good as an everyday sports car - practical, yet fast, decently fuel-efficient and relatively cheap. Judging by its rust resistance being superior to imports, it is the best in areas with much road salt.

    What I got from that is a Chevy Monza is a pretty good car, and the RX3 is a piece of shit.

    Well, the Monza and Mustang fought head-to-head in acceleration, and the Stang won in mileage, so the Ford might even be better. Top speed isn't that relevant in 1970s America, with its 55 MPH speed limit.

    What is this supposed to mean? The other stuff it pretty cool but this part I’m not quite sure what you are trying to say. Doesn’t make it worthy of being ugly? I’d say it’s one of the more uglier cars I’ve seen,

    It isn't right to judge a car just by appearance, even if others do it.

    But.....the design element is a big part about cars. And since the car isn’t released yet I’m going off of pictures, videos I’ve seen of it, and how other crossovers perform. I’m not judging only the design but I will say it’s a big point about why I don’t like it.

    Ehh, I don't think it's all that bad. I'd take it over a Yugo or Pinto. At least it looks like something that will get me around.

    @MrAnnoyingDude made a good point, Crossovers aren't necessarily the Satan people make them out to be. You do need to watch what name you slap on a Crossover though. At least if it's an SUV name, it kinda makes sense, but if Chevrolet decided to turn the Camaro into a Crossover, then we'll have some problems, because that would be a decision worse than that new front end you spoke of, which I can agree is kinda awkward looking. A mid-engine Corvette makes more sense than a Camaro Crossover, because the Corvette will remain a performance vehicle, something it's been for decades.

    The Mustang II for me is undoubtedly better than the Pinto, as I think the Pinto is possibly the worst car Ford has ever put on the road, unless I see one that is agreeably worse, but I don't know how you can top dangerously placed gas tanks and not giving a shit about it, even when faced with court cases. I'm surprised that the Pinto did not put Ford out of business. Even the Edsel has more dignity than the Pinto, because the only problem Edsel had going for it was that people back then thought the front grill looked too vulgar, which I don't really think it does. I guess they'd think the same thing about Alfa Romeos.

    Yeah, I think all of us here can agree that we all hate donks and ricers.
