Top 20 Dumbest cars of all time according to AOL autos staff
 
Although I dont agree with a few of these cars making the list
at least they did not put the HHR on the list but the Pt Cruiser convertible made the list.
I thought you might get a kick out of the list

well some of the list ok but on some they went to far back to find a bad .

Good point plenty of newer cars that could have made the list
Hmm wonder why the Yugo did not make the list

Remarkably poorly written article by kids who obviously weren't around when most of those cars were produced, and were far more interested in being snarky and political than really delving into automotive history. What else would you expect from the AOL/Huffpo preschool?

My first new car. They were right about the Vega.

I'd live to have a SSR parked right next to my SS. I always wanted one

Interesting the Vega was chosen and the Pinto omitted? Perhps they felt their scathing of the Mustang II made up for that? Having first owned a Pinto, then a Vega GT in my youth; I will concede neither was built to last. However both met my needs within budget at an early age.

I too remember the howls when Ford first introduced the small Mustang. Interestingly enough less than a decade ago, we acquired two decent used Fox bodied Mustang LX convertibles for our sons as first cars. Both vehicles were driven until they could be no more and then sold as parts to eager parties willing to pay more than envisioned. If there are really that many of us willing to trade in dumb cars today; were/are the cars really that dumb?

Yeah, the SSR was on the list. I think the guys that bought them and still own them are laughing. $25,000 is the average asking price for a good one now.

Purely a subjective list.....

Although I would agree on a few (Pontiac Aztek, Nissan Murano Cross-Cabriolet), some of them (Like the Dymaxion) were simply ahead of their time.

Hmmm we all have more to add to the list and remove, I do like the SSR and had a Vega and a Pinto and a Mustang II, but then was then and now we look back and ask what was I thinking. The list is a fun read.
