What Car Do You Wish Never Existed?

Sometimes, we can learn great lessons from terrible things. Other times, it’s all just awful. What car was so irredeemable that you wish it simply never existed?

I ask this question largely just because I know there are people who have stronger feelings than me, and I would like to know your justification. I’m generally of the opinion that everything awful is exactly the kind of thing I need in my life, which means that I’ll definitely own a Pinto one day just because I think it’ll be funny to have a museum of lemons.

But this is perhaps because I did not have to live through the era where these cars were A Thing, which means I never had to know what it was like to own such a hateful machine. Nor will I have to in my museum of lemons, since I fully intend on keeping my 2013 Mazda 2 until it is no longer road legal, at which point I will remove the doors and turn it into a yard-going ranch buggy.

(And if you ask my husband, the 2013 Mazda 2 is the worst car that has ever existed and I am sure he wishes it never existed because it would mean I couldn’t insist on driving it for hundreds of thousands of miles.)
