  1. GET YOUR GREASY CANADIAN HEAD OFF OF THAT FERRARI RIGHT NOW- just kidding I love you.

  2. The esteem was called Balleno in Europe. But one of the funniest car name in Europe was the Toyota MR2, in french it sounds like “merdre” what means something like Crap or damn. So in France the skipped the 2.

  3. As a Brit, when I heard of the Citation my first thought was of scientific papers. I’d kinda assumed they were trying to sell the car to professor types.

    One you guys definitely missed: Mitsubishi Carisma.

    Yeh, they cut the ‘h’ out of charisma so they could copyright it.
    Well done boys.

    Didn’t help that the car was kinda crap and the Volvo that shared it’s platform was considerably more interesting – and better to drive.

  4. ***FORD ESCORT*** …Always thought many different other things than “car ” with this great name that ford put lots of effort into coming up with.

  5. Nubira, it was basically a Korean word for ‘Roam around!’ and it’s said to have been named by the CEO of Daewoo Group back then, hoping the car to well, I guess, roam around the world. Although that didn’t happen. As for Daewoo, it’s a sino-Korean word for, ‘Large House’(a direct translation of 대우(大宇) sorry).

  6. Whoa… the dude from Epic Mealtime! I didn’t know he had a name. I thought they just called him DBag haha

  7. ….when white ppl get nervous they turn red when they get sick they can turn blue to purple and you call us colored…..LML

  8. I don’t really hate the Aztec… It is unusual, but I don’t think it’s too bad.

  9. Polonez fso is a really shitty car, and not unsurprisingly the nubira sold well here in Egypt along with so many other shitty daewoos

  10. ‘Suzuki 800′ is worst car ever and it should have made it to the list, seems u never went out of US.

  11. wheres the cady catera? same concept as the cimmaron, about a decade later. gm just got their head out of their asses o stick it right back in again

  12. The guy drove a Smart car from New York to LA? Duh, it’s a city car, not a grand touring car! No wonder he hates them. I’ll bet he doesn’t live in Downtown San Francisco.

    But yeah, I agree about the gas mileage. A Honda Fit is a 4 seater that gets better gas mileage AND is faster, AND is way less buzzy on the freeway. It’s also only a bit more expensive.

  13. it is not a safe car. yes the safety cell is brilliant. but the car has less than a foot of stopping distance.and at 60mph that is fatal. in 2009 the smart was paired against the Mercedes c300. at 40mph the impact was so violent, the dummies head went through the airbag, and the Mercedes literally threw the smart car over 15ft.

  14. i guess thats why the new ford gets better Mpg than a prius….. oh wait, it does have more HP.

  15. The Cimarron only problem is that it was MADE IN GERMANY and fell apart within months of purchase, just like every other EU made car. And the Yugo not making No. 1?? WTF???

  16. The guy talking about the Pacer being “child molester” and “nerddom” looked both of those parts himself! ROFL!
