Perhaps this should be in the 'other' thread?
"68. 1987 Sterling 825: Rebadged Rover 800-Series was based on the V6-powered Acura Legend, but was unreliable and rust-prone anyhow. Paint hardly even stuck to it and the electrics lasted a few weeks if you were lucky."
Actually I am off to cross post

I wonder if it is as US based as it looks, as including a Rover and a Reliant is quite unusual.
usa knows of reliant robins thanks to top gear, they found that episode way more hilarious than I did that's for certainCDP said:
Pontiac Aztec anybody?
actually read before that despite the odd looks it wasn't really a bad car.Clearly the journo has no clue.
94. atom. Worst car? how? I'd prefer a Caterham, but the Atom is still quite a unique and interesting thing (if you take out copycats like MEV etc).
90. Saleen s7. Clearly this journo has no ears.
89. Fezza 612. Really? 89th worst car ever made?
66. Smart fortwo. Bloody spastic journo. It's a city car. ffs.
62. Corvair. Possibly the most badly designed heap of ste ever to disgrace consumers. It was deadly. ALL of the bove are worse than the corvair?
40. Piss boiling now. Skipped far too many that deserve a rant, but the Elan, terrible? It inspired a generation of gamers, ffs. Plus, they're not that bad.
In fact sod it, I'm skipping to the comments bit, see what the yanks make of this shiote.

This list just proves that the writer of the article in fact knows about zero about car history nor appreciates anything approaching fun. You lost all credibility when you knock a 1917 Chevrolet V8 for having merely 36hp. You might note that the vast majority of cars in that time period barely had 15hp...Chevy's first V8 was actually an incredible achievement for the price point they were aiming towards.
Further, the 1950 Crosley HotShot? Are you even remotely aware that this car and its "welded together engine" which was actually aluminum won at Monte Carlo several times and held a race time record for several years?
Edmunds has lost any and all credibility when it comes to automotive knowledge.
Ahh, that explains everything. noel fking edmonds. Should have known.Further, the 1950 Crosley HotShot? Are you even remotely aware that this car and its "welded together engine" which was actually aluminum won at Monte Carlo several times and held a race time record for several years?
