Some Car 'Fails'

Some funny chit here -- not sure if they should all be there but hey, it's some funny readin'.

My fave? : the 'Smart Crossblade'., and we didn't even get blessed with it here in N. A.
It's a tough world.

Enjoy or cry whichever the case may be.....

I wasn't sure whether to recommend to read this b4 or after stuffing our faces. So please be careful. : You read it b4 supper, you may not want any; You read it after and you may 'lose' everything and have to start over....

Smart Crossblade
The only Europe-only car on our list, it came with no windshield, doors, or roof…just like many sports cars. Sadly, it was slower than erosion
Some good failures in there Colin. I laughed at this one^

No arguments here either although if I tried I could probably come up with a few better substitutes.

i really like these articles, they give the consumer a bit of incite if they dont know anything about cars. and most of these were not a big surprise!

I agree with all but the Explorer sport-trac, I think its ok its a bit small for pick up duties but it looks decent.

^^and as usual, TG manages more acerbic commentary per linear inch of text than the next 10 car articles combined.

I think most of the US car industry is a fail.

Haha, who else would openly bash American assembly workmanship or call a car a 'steaming turd'. I love it.
