Worst according to who? Most of the worst list looks reasonable, buy why did the '78 Honda Accord make the list?

[Artslinger]

They left off the '76 Ford Mustang. Whata piece of sh!t car.

Saw an orange Murciélago at the Grove in LA last night. Pretty mean looking. Apparently the owner is the guy who owns the Grove.

How about the Mclaren Mercedes SLR? £313,465 (on the road, taxes inc) and on "sale" now.

And what was so wrong with the Citroen SM, apart from it being far too complex for the simple folks at Forbes? Surely there are hundreds of other dreadful cars which are more deserving of a place in that list...

I think the mid 70s Mustang falls into 'Pinto'

Can someone post the current invoice prices and any current incentives on these cars? ;)

[Mr. E]

I thought Ferrari stopped manufacturing Enzos last year. :confused:

[Artslinger]

True.

If not for AMC Ford would have held the crown of the worlds leading manufacturer of crappy cars in the 70s and 80s.

LOL!

[Jever]

Can someone post the current invoice prices and any current incentives on these cars? ;)Yeah, I'm wondering how much under MSRP I can negotiate. :rofl:

[gojira-san]

why did the '78 Honda Accord make the list?
The '78 Accord was a piece of s*&%. I owned one. The engine had an oil contamination problem and they rusted out big time. Mine had the valve train replaced twice then the whole engine once before I sold it with 38,000 miles on it. Have not owned a Honda car since. On the bottom 10 list, I also owned a Citroen SM (fun but very expensive to repair). I've driven every car on the bottom ten list except the Trabi :tsk: The closest I've come to the top ten list was my 911 Sportomatic. Guess I am an underachiever... :rofl:

[Bill325Ci]

They also left the 1974 Ford Gran Torino off the worst list. What a piece of sheeeet that was.

Agreed, my parents had a '75. It sucked

[cantona7]

Aren't you forgetting the $1 million Bugatti Veyron? Or is that a 2005 car?

Johnny Cash may be ailing, but his fighting spirit isn't diminished. His full-page ad in the March 14 Billboard magazine has country music reeling. The ad, touting Cash's Grammy win for his Unchained album, features a 1970 photo of Cash performing at San Quentin prison in California. In it, a glowering Cash is making an obscene hand gesture at the camera.

The ad's message, placed directly above Cash's middle finger: "American Recordings and Johnny Cash would like to acknowledge the Nashville music establishment and country radio for your support."

Country music has become a "trendy scene," says Cash's producer, Rick Rubin, who placed the ad. "We hope it will open the eyes of the country community and hopefully they'll say, 'The guy did win . . . and he's making records considered the best in country and maybe we should readdress the situation.' "

Cash, 66, who suffers from a Parkinson's-type ailment, was unavailable to comment. He and wife June are in Jamaica. He and many older artists have expressed disappointment about radio's reluctance to play their new music and the focus on the pop-tinged sounds of younger artists.

"They're being more vocal now," says Radio & Records music editor Steve Wonsiewicz. But radio "is not dumb," he adds. Programmers and corporations "do a lot of testing to find out what kind of music they should play. If there was a huge demand for their music, it would get played."

Cash's ad (costing about $20,000) "made me laugh out loud," says country legend George Jones.

"John speaks for all of us," says Willie Nelson, who says he has cut out the ad and hung it in his tour bus "so everyone who comes in has to see it."

Jones says he's running his own ad in Billboard in coming weeks for his new single,Wild Irish Rose. The page will be filled with balls, he says - baseballs, basketballs, etc. along with the song's title. The copy will read: "If radio had any, they'd play this record."

But while the ads are funny, Jones says, "it's very serious. All of us older artists feel that way. Radio gives us one of the biggest insults there is when they don't play our music."

The time has come "for us to speak up about it," he adds. "If no one is going to stick upfor us, we'll have to do it ourselves."

Thanks for posting the story, Ripsnort. That ad is one of favorite moments in Cash fandom. There'll never be another Man in Black.
