In the realm of cars, not every vehicle is able to attract the masses. There are some cars which have gained negative recognition due to the design flaws, reliability issues and general unpopularity they have suffered from. Below are some of the most atrocious cars to have ever been manufactured and the things that went wrong to ensure that they are remembered by history for all the wrong reasons.
1. Yugo GV
The Yugo GV, which was extensively produced in the 1980s, is usually referred to as one of the most disastrous cars ever constructed. The car in question was introduced to the markets with the proposition of being cheap but was burdened with reliability problems and missing primitive characteristics. Poor ergonomics and pushing building quality made it so bad that Americans frowned at it the whole time, it was simply a big fail of an automobile.
2. Pontiac Aztek
The early 2000s Pontiac Aztek showcased a crossover design that appealed to a wide spectrum of customers. The aztek design was simply too eclectic and the appearance too controversial, which took a heavy toll on its sales performance so much that the car is even regarded as the most notorious in terms of unpleasant appearance.
3. Ford Edsel
The history of Ford Edsel begins as a fairy tale: the car was presented as a response to increasing competition in the U. S. automotive market and as ideal scale and style of design in Ford’s car production in 1958, howled w. full chorus rocket-fuelled forward only to hugely disappoint within a couple of years. In their attempt to make the Edsel different from other cars, the designers produced very unusual shapes and lines which proved unmarketable. The ambitious project saw the last of its assembly lines barely three years after it was concocted.
4. DeLorean DMC-12
The DMC-12 will always be associated with the film Back to the Future, but it fared less well as a car that was actually put into production. Its low-caliber capabilities combined with a breakdown in the chain of manufacture found the DMC-12 car struggling in vain to carve a niche in the market. Though the DMC-12 had that ever glossy brushed stainless steel surface to its body, that awful look bore silent witness of so many things gone wrong.
5. Chrysler PT Cruiser
The Chrysler PT Cruiser was a hit at launch but became subject to scorn later for its impracticality and eccentric looks. The nostalgic design became dated and most people found driving it to be unpleasant. It found a niche market and a cult following but proved avg at best.
