SsangYong Radius
This Korean model was manufactured between 2005 and 2013 by the Koreans at SsangYong. It is considered one of the worst cars ever created due to its incredibly ugly design and terrible engine features.
It was marketed as having design features similar to luxury yachts. Could it be just us who are missing the so-called similarities? The front looks oldish while the back is plain awkward, with rounded lines that somehow make the car look boxy. A paradox right?
It did have plenty of space for passengers but overall it was not worth it, as buyers suffered massive losses due to the car’s depreciation (75% loss) in only three years.

Chevy SSR is a collector’s car…..such as cool idea and design with plenty of power. Great roadster with plenty of room to take along to sports games.
You left out the Chevy Vega.
You should have included the Chevette by Chevrolet
How did the Yugo not make this list?
The Pontiac Aztec was ahead of its time. Plenty of us loved it!!!! (Maybe because we didn’t want the same car everyone else had)
The only reason I got rid of mine was because I couldn’t fit a family of six in it when my fourth child was on his way.
The Pinto? Fast? Not mine. I could probably have walked as fast after waiting for it to creep through the gears and get up to speed.Then, as you mentioned, the fire factor. I got rear ended while taking a corner and took the hit right where the gas tank was. When I took my car in for repair I was told that if the dent had been 1/4″ deeper, I would have blown sky high. Not long after, the problem became public knowledge and I got rid of my Pinto!!
There were some horrible cars on the UK Market in the 60’s. The Renault Dauphin, which rusted in front of your eyes. The Lada boxes. The FSR import.and anything from the Dagenham works
All of the new Lexus line of cars and suvs are major ugly! The front end of these cars are horrendous. This proves that Japanese manufacturers are not good at designing or creating any product. This country succeeds on copying American products then mass producing them cheaper.
I had the ford pinto and of course it was broke down all the time.
