"The 50 worst cars of all time"

I just looked at the list and I like many of these. But then I'm a car nut and I have a thing for quirky, unloved cars.

I agree. But then there's a chestnut like: its acceleration can be measured with a calendar... (Renault 9 I thought).

I like the overlooked era of the mid-to-late 30's up to 1941, then 1947-1954 for the design more than anything: A lot of people find them boring but I like the styles, especially convertibles from those times. And Chevy's golden years of 55-57, of course. Plus various others.

Having said that, any "Worst Of" list that doesn't include the "Smart Car" is not a list I want to see. ;D That car makes cry, and not joyful tears. In fact calling it a "car" shouldn't be allowed. Anyway....

Only its name already deserves it a place on the list. Injoke: I am thinking the Dutch pie company Multivlaai here...
