Nominations for Worst Production Car of 2001!!

95mustanggt · 01-18-2002, 11:53 AM

Alright guys (and girls), now that we can have a poll I can continue my annual post on the WORST PRODUCTION CAR OF THE YEAR!

Last years big loser was the Pontiac Aztech. 1999's big loser was the Toyota Echo.

So before the official poll, I need some nominations (try to limit to 2 or 3)!

I'll start by offering the following:

1. Chev Avalanche
2. Pontiac Aztech

Let's get some nominations!!

This one has my vote. Those Kias are junk. I worked at the Toyoto/Mitsu/Kia dealer for a month while between jobs. Those things are the crapiest attempts at a car I have ever seen. The Echo is uglier than my babies momma, and the Avalanche isnt much better.

I dont know what is up with the 99-01 but they have been dropping like flies here in Missouri!!! I have seen roughly 20 cavaliers broken down on the sides of highways and residential streets. Some still with Temp Tags!!!!

Oh yeah Isuzu Vehicross, i think its ugly

Chevy Siverado Duramax Diesel is not a wimp it outpulls our ford powerstroke at work, and is overall a nice truck IMO

PKRWUD · 01-21-2002, 01:59 AM

The Toyota Echo is an abortion on wheels, and the Avalanche is close. I personally think the new Jeep Liberty is their ugliest entry into the market in years, but I believe they are considered 2002 models. BTW, ALL of the Liberties have been recalled. I also think the '01 Monte Carlo is extremely ugly, as are the '01 Nissan trucks. I'll think of others.

Take care,
-Chris

My girlfriend has a '99 Cavalier with the sport appearance package (Z24 I think)...it's a nice car...and has run good for her so far...but it feels cheap....the interior is just cheap looking...I wouldn't be surprised if she has a major problem with it of some sorts within the next couple years.

#1. Dodge Neon:
My wife just traded hers in on a Focus and man am I glad. After 35,400 miles the Neon developed a loud knock. Thank God she didn't get another 600 miles on it before we heard it! 40,000 miles later and the same problem came back. It was the biggest pile of worthless scrap metal and plastic I have ever seen (next to the 89 Slomaro I bought new and sold 3 months later).

Note to self: Keep wife away from Dodge and Chevy dealerships.

#2. Let's give the Aztech another go 'round. It has to be right up there with the old "Le Car's"

#3. Is the Avalanche that new Chevy truck that looks like somebody's bad attempt at making a futuristic vehicle for a Sci-Fi flick? If so I gotta say - damn, that's UGLY!!!

mustangman65_79 · 01-21-2002, 03:58 AM

1. Chevy Avalanche

2. Jeep Liberty (although, along with PKRWUD, what year is it?)

3. Pontiac Aztech

4. Honda Insight

5. Toyota Rav-4

Mustangbelle306 · 01-22-2002, 08:11 AM

How about the Toyota Prius? I'm not sure what year it is either!

Daewoos are pretty bad. especially the Lanos..trying to look like a cheap knockoff of the Honda Civic hatchbacks.

I also think its funny (being a former service employee and knowing the poor history) watching Hyundai try to make their cars seem more upscale. I know their reliability has improved tenfold since their first appearance in this country, but lets get real

95mustanggt · 01-22-2002, 10:26 AM

Thanks guys I think that is all the nominations I need.

I didnt like Hyundai at all until my parents bought a 1999 Sonata V-6. It was nice and it has been through hell and back and has only had minor problems, and one recall. I have to say I am impressed with Hyundai. The new 2002 Sonatas are nothing to laugh about. They have a more elegant sytling which reminds me of a Jag and Lexus and alot of car critics compares the car to the Infiniti and Toyota. For the luxury of a Jag or Lex you can have a nice well equipped Sonata GLS V-6 for under $22,000. Although I have to say the Tibouron needs more power and the XG350 needs a make over.
My parents car has 46,xxx miles on it and it still gets up and goes. It gets great gas milege and is a comfortable ride.
Hyundai wasnt always a good brand bet they have come around and I reccomend the 02 sonata to anyone that wants to look like they have money but dont.
