Beware making institutional changes to benefit you while in power, for once your opponents gain the upper hand they will use those changes against you.

Hyundai Pony (Canada only)

The Cavalier was decent enough for its time, but there was no way to justify asking twice as much for the same car with a Cadillac badge.

The Chrysler Laser. Anyone remember them, much less see one since the 80's? And to think this model was supposed to be the upscale version of the Dodge Daytona from back then, which itself was an abomination for carrying that nameplate. I remember seeing them in real time and they somehow made a 70's era Chevette look…

Fiat Uno.

Completely agree.

Eastern Bloc cars are the low hanging fruit, but rightfully so. We got the Yugo here in the US, but every now and again I’ll see a Trabant show up at a car show.

My 1988 Honda CRX Si would disagree.

That is because they had Mitsubishi badges....

This fugly POS:

Be careful Putin that much power in one.

The Hyundai Excel, it is a miracle Hyundai succeeded in the U.S. after it.

AMC/Renault Alliance - Any.

The 1984 Buick Century that my parents owned. It had the Iron Duke, so it could barely get out of its own way. Ours was turd brown with a turd brown interior and a turd brown vinyl roof. The front edge of the roof rusted, and we couldn’t find any windshield replacers that could fix it, so it leaked every time it…

Almost all of them.

You don’t want to go Russian into these sort of projects.

Pontiac LeMans, which was just a rebadged Daewoo LeMans. My family had one of these turds that typified the lazy phone-in subcompact effort popular with GM in the 80's and 90's.

Sounds like a Lada trouble. 

There’s a lot of room to talk shit about Lada’s but my wife really wants me to import one and do an EV swap. She loves those little cars, even finds how terrible they are to be endearing. 

Harsh take: Delorean
