I haven't even heard a bunch of those cars listed, I guess the car industry has come a long way as far a build quality goes.

There's a discussion on this article going on over here - http://forums.mwerks.com/zerothread?id=1210399

These people have some interesting things to say, and most of them think this article is worse than the cars that are on the list.

Great link... Kind of makes you wonder how these writers and editors get hired.

Amazing to see the '78 Accord on that list--it's come a long way in 25 subsequent years.

Out of all those cars and they didn't include the Lada as one of the worst made cars in the world?!

It is unfair to include the first generation Ladas, like the orange one pictured above in the list. The were based on the Fiat 124 and offered remarkable space and features for the price. In the 1980s, Lada was a major contender in the World Rally Championship in the 1600 cc class, but . . . we should not let facts interfere with entertaining journalism ;-)
