Which car maker currently offers the "worst" range of cars?

Citroen gets my vote. I have a big soft spot for the C5, but everything else is just dull and bulbous with nothing remotely hot performance wise or good looking.
At least Peugeot have the RCZ and the 208 GTI and Vauxhall have the VXR models and the GTC is actually quite a good looking car in the flesh. Hyundai are close but then I wouldn't really expect anything outstanding from them (though I seem to remember the big i30/i40s looking surprisingly smart in real life), whereas Citroen have a long history of interesting, quirky cars which the current range belies.
I disagree, I don't like Citroen but I think they make the least dull cars on the market, aside from the C3 and C5 I think they all look pretty good, even the people carrier one.At least Peugeot have the RCZ and the 208 GTI and Vauxhall have the VXR models and the GTC is actually quite a good looking car in the flesh.

I'd say Mitsubishi too, although I do like their 4x4 range.
+1 for Mitsubishi.Don't particularly like their 4x4 range though and all L200s seem to be driven by angry men.
All the others which have been mentioned, are at least cheap. Mitsubishi arnt cheap, and dont seem to produce one good car. They seem to have updated old models, and been totally left behind in the process.

Mitsubishi do the ASX, which, in 2.0TDi form, is a genuinely decent motor.
Don't forget about the Evo! I thought that the Colt was supposed to be decent too but according to the UK website it has sold out! If you think the range on offer from Mitsubishi in the UK is poor though, it's even more limited in North America. No Shogun or L200 in a continent where the SUV/pickup truck market is huge! I think this may be thanks in part to the "chicken tax" though (google it), which places huge import taxes on any SUVs/trucks not manufactured in North America. Toyota, Honda and Nissan get around this by having factories in USA/Canada and subsequently have much more extensive and interesting ranges. Mitsubishi do offer a 10 year warranty here though. How do they make any money?vournikas said:
Chevrolet spring immediately to mind.
If only for the fact that every model in their range has the aesthetic appeal of a bad dose of haemorrhoids.
US Chevrolet or Daewoolet ? If only for the fact that every model in their range has the aesthetic appeal of a bad dose of haemorrhoids.
the DAEwoolets it;s becasue they are GMs worldwide bargain basement brand and the US ones it's just because the USDM lags behind on such things ...

Interesting that you've had such bad experiences of them? The reviews I've read have been largely complementary about the way they drive.
The 6 does not drive particularly well. I much preferred the way my old Rover drives.I believe the 3 is a very good car, but as far as the range goes it's not up to much.

Umm, they don't make any Evo, now, certainly not for UK market. As per thread title, its the CURRENT range. Welcome to 2015!
Sad to say, but Alfa Romeo. A 'range' made up of a humdrum family hatch and a cheerless tiddly hatch are not what the brand deserves.
There's the 4C, but it's had mixed reviews (although I'll reserve judgement till I've tried one) and even if it's brilliant, it's not what I think Alfa should be doing.
The long-promised rebirth can't come soon enough.

In their defence, in the UK pretty crap yes but in North America you have the new Impala, Camaro and C7 Corvette Stingray. All great cars. I have driven the latest Impala and it stands up well to anything German in terms of quality and the driving experience. How does a 3.6 V6 with 300bhp sound? Their SUVs are decent too and the Silverado pickup, arguably the best of the big three (Ford, GM, Dodge).the DAEwoolets it;s becasue they are GMs worldwide bargain basement brand and the US ones it's just because the USDM lags behind on such things ...

The Buick and Cadillac models on offer from GM are pretty decent too.
