    Another worst top 50 cars.

    With a surprising absence.

    Maybe if you only made one car it doesnt qualify?

    At any rate some real stinkers in this bunch.

    I like the comments describing each car, very witty.
    Why is the 2012 Civic on the list though? That's the only one I didn't "get".

    Honda Civic is here because....

    After the radical improvement from the previous generation with the 2005 model, not only was this one just a mild do-over, but they dumbed it down and cheapened it up. It looks blander, and feels like a dull knife compared to the previous one.

    All that said, it's not that it's a "horrible" car. I think it just didn't meet expectations.

    I only found a few of those cars to be truly unattractive, but I understand snark is the new sex appeal, so maybe that's what they were going for.

    Nice to see no gullwings on the list.

    Ha that's funny. I have an 05 (the drastic change was the 06-11 models) and I think the Civic began to look like crap after the generation change.
    But who's kidding who here? All Delorean owners know model years are a scam, a gimmick, used by car companies to sell more cars....

    -Aston Lagonda may be terrible, but its also AWESOME!
    -The later Ferrari Mondials are really nice.
    -The Rambo Lambo isn't a bad car, its just ridiculous.

    There are some real shitters on there, but there are some that don't deserve to be on that list.

    Step 1: Create "Top 5/10/50/100 List of the Best/Worst X", and ensure it's written by people who don't know anything about subject "X" so that it's so ignorant it becomes inflamitory.

    Step 2: Allow the link for the list to circulate around message boards related to subject "X".

    Step 3: People click on said link to view it and either validate their own opinions, or get pissed off and complain about it. Either way, it keeps getting forwarded.

    Step 4: Profit! People generate traffic for the website hosting the link, and thus advertising revenue for the people who wrote it.


    Bottom Line: I already know what my tastes and preferences are when it comes to any of the subjects that these "Top Best/Worst Lists" address. Not once have I started nor stopped liking something because of them. More power to them for knowing how to make money off people, but I'm not going to be one of them.

    I love those old Postal Jeeps. I think that's the only car from the list I liked.
