That list is BS, a lot of cars on it were quite profitable.

Ford Tempo converted many to Celicas and Camerys (missed this gem).

Never mentioned those Suzuki/GM pieces of junk (another diamond in the rough).

The first Ford Ranger (Isuzu Pup) (but, but, it's Japanese! It's got to be good)

Chrysler's Mitsubishi-built turds like the Talon...

I've owned several Chevy Astro vans - best darn fleet vehicle ever made, replaced by yet another wrong wheel drive, under-powered mini-van that doesn't sell.

Pinto's and Vega's - no where near as bad as the Datsuns and tin-can Toyotas from that era.

Subaru - (can you say frame that bows under the weight of a four-banger)

Seems to me the crappiest cars were usually, brace yourselves, THE CHEAPEST!!!

LTD's were good, T-birds, Caddys (I agree not the Cimmeron), Lincolns, Malibu's, Bonnevilles, Mustangs, 88's, 98's, LaSabers...

My general experiance getting into a Camery or Civic is similar to the above cheap, crappy cars...
