- perhaps we should list the worst car for each company and then have an
- overall runoff for *the* worst car???
-
- gm: pontiac lemans(junk, boring), geo sprint(3 cylinders does not a car make),
- chevy camero(no explanation needed,,,but for 1993 model this will all
- change), buick sklark(ugly snout and interior), OLDsmobile cutlass ciera(
- ancient design...boring chrome-mobile), cadillac??
-
- ford: tempo(junk, old design, junk, ford quality)
- mercury: topaz(more junk options than the tempo means more things to break)
- chrysler:...shadow and twin or daytona(old design..sorta junky..but not like
- ford and mercs winners...)
- nissan: ??
- honda: various rotor-eating, valve-adjustment-needed, underpowered mobiles.
- ah...lets just call it prelude for the ugly dash and butt-end and
- being very overpriced.
- toyota: paseo wins easy...ugly..overpriced..well then again...the celica

- mazda: mx-3...expensive unimpressive-mobile in ever aspect..except price which
- is outrageous...gives toyota a run in the overpriced area.
- enough for now....
