Edit Reason: spelling
I have few entries into this list (with a proviso.)
Proviso: I know that with a conscientious and diligently motivated car owner, almost any car can be considered "good," or at least "good enough."
But the disappointments I encountered with 'pretty' cars that were all surface, and embarrassingly little engineering pride, was the PT Cruiser.
Another entry is the "new" Volkswagen Bug design. The things I loved most about that car were all eliminated and replaced with metaphorical plastic.
The "Marketing Department" should NEVER be involved in car design... EVER. Save that for AFTER it's designed and built.
Also, I have found that even with cars that are (to me) wonders of design and function... those qualities can all become moot, it the driver is "bad."
Confession: I liked cars before it became impossible for an owner to maintain... I'm old-fashioned that way.
