Define worse? Looks? Functionality? Price to practicality?

I'd have to say the Lincoln Blackwood would be one of the dumbest purchases a person could possibly make, quickly followed by the Cadillac Escalade. You have to be a complete sucker with way too much god damn money to spend to even THINK about buying one of those vehicles.

I'm temped to say mercedes, because they have been having really really bad quality issues as of late, but I am more inclined to say anything with the name Lincoln on it. My dad's boss ordered a Lincoln LS, it took 6 months instead of 3 to get it, and it broke 3 times before he even got it, so he said keep the damn car, and went and bought a lexus.

Looks? Pontiac Aztec, Saturns (all, but most notably the new Vue), Kias (except the Optima - it isn't that bad), and 1 or 2 Hyundais.

Reliability? The best reliability would be between Hondas, Toyotas, and Nissans. Saturns are pretty reliable too. Most American cars/car makers are usually pretty low on the reliability list.

Chevrolet Metro. Powered by three cylinders and 1.0L of asphalt tearing power and tin can like cage that cranks up collision coverage premium and increase risk of injury to yourself should a collision occur.

<< anything made by Kia >>



I don't know much about Kia's so i'm just asking. Why does everyone hate Kia's so much? The have a great warrantee, prices are completely reasonable, not the greatest looking but they don't look butt ugly as most of these "new generation" vehicles. So what gives? I honestly don't know much about Kia's so i'm looking for a real answer. They seem pretty reasonable to me.:confused:

Definately the Pontiac Aztec. I'd rather ride around on a pink tricycle than be caught in one of those.

Any Kia, Huindai or Daewoo. No wonder they all have 10-year warranty, considering that those cars start to fall apart after they have been driven from a dealership.

Im not trying to start a flame but a company does not give a ten year warrantry out when they think that they sell lemons that brake down constantly, I hate to say it but those Hyunda's Kia's and Daewoos all run pretty dam good, They may be a little ugly, they may not have to many options. They may not have a whole lot of get up and go but if you take care of them and do the proper maintances (oil changes!!) they will last you quite awhile. I have tons of frinds at work that constantly buy big American made cars and trucks and it seems like they always have them in the shop getting fixed for something.
