Lets face it, some cars sucked so bad, and were such inveterate failures, that they even failed to make the list of the suckiest cars.

And you are right, it was the Chrysler Cor DOH ba that had the FCL. As an aside, Ricardo Mandelbread (I think that was his name, anyway), had to keep practicing and practicing, because the town is pronounced COR doh ba. It took him a while, too.

From what I understand, the Prowler was like a dim-witted Super Model who's a lousy lay.

I got to drive my uncle's prowler, and I'll say, it wasn't about the riding experience, it was about making everybody's neck snap when they turned to watch you roll by

These articles are all just opinions. One person's worst vehicle is another person's best car :P Sure, the iDrive made the 7-Series a pita to work, but I wouldn't say it would be on the list of 50 worst cars. Same goes for many of the cars on there, even my Saturn made some magazine's list of worst GM cars.

The Prowler was Chip Foose`s ticket to The Big Leagues....too bad Chrysler turned it into a product for confused 60-year-old men with too much money....

The 2002 7 Series is a bad car because it has iDrive and the Bangle butt. It's a tough crowd.

Known throughout Germany as Mandelbrot, mandel bread is a traditional old world bread that is distinguished by a tough exterior that is paired with a wide range of ingredients to create a tasty treat. Popular in a number of cultures, mandel bread is similar to the hard bread Italian biscotti, and can be served in many of the same settings. The basic recipe for mandel bread can be made into a loaf that is sliced into sections, or prepared as small cookies.
Figured I'd toss in a German cookie......

I guess I should be thankful I've never owned any of these. Although the list really does seem to be a bit subjective.
