I know these kind of write ups are pretty subjective, but I think this one really sums it up. Is there something you would change in this Top 10?

2,3,4,and 6

I'd love to find one of any of those in "new" condition.

I actually quite liked the look of the Gremlin: esp w/the 'X' package stripes.

good article. They could even have a 25 worst because there are many more bombs.

Surprised the Pinto was only #4. The Aztec is ugly, but I don't remember it being a death trap. Funny thing about the Pinto is that I am pretty sure the original Mustang has the same, if not worse, gas tank issue.

I had a Pinto wagon back in the day and was manager for a LL baseball team and the kids always laughed and said "I'm not riding with Mr K. his car will blow up"! Damn kids were serious too !! Can't say I blame them.

Shit yeah 304 in a small car will do it. GG, I had a Dodge Dart with a 318 and that sucker would fly too.

[BOSSMANPC]

Never it was Yugoslavian. It did suck big time what a POS car.

No Edsel - kind of surprising.

No Edsel - kind of surprising.

I donn't think any Edsel wasn't a bad car, it was a bad decision. It was built to fill a gap that didn't exist.

How dare you say that about the Breaking Badmobile??

The rear of the Mustang could handle a rear end collision at 30 mph without buckling.
The Pinto would buckle, rip the fuel inlet nozzle off the tank and the tank would jam up against the differential housing causing it to leak in two spots and spill fuel everywhere, including the back seat..On top of that, because of the rear end buckling, the fucking doors would jam and trap everyone in the car to burn to death..
