5 Monumental American Failures

Some cars that come out of one of the most power countries are excellent. Take the Corvette for example. It is engineered to kick German butt without the German price. Unfortunately, there are some monumental failures that are listed below.

1. Chrysler PT Cruiser

This car is known as the PT Loser. It's easy to see why. This car is trying to bring back the hot rod and when American cars were cool. Unfortunately, it meant making it look disgusting. Further more, it is horribly unreliable as broken timing belts are common. Base engines have poor acceleration, and this car loves to drink gas.

2. Pontiac Aztec

This car is practical. That's the only good thing about it. Everything else is a fail. This car looks ridiculous. Surprisingly, the man who designed this car would later design the Corvette C7. They were trying to make it look in your face. They definitely succeeded. This car was so lame that it came with a tent  The car has the same acceleration as a Prius but not as efficient.

3.Ford Mustang II

The original Ford Mustang was cool. The Mach 1 was cool. The Mustang II, also known as the Ford Rustang, wasn't cool. First of all, it didn't look so hot like a Mustang should have. Second of all, it was slow like a Mustang should not have been. Surprisingly, it was a hit when it came out because it was one of the best things money can buy in the seventies.

4. Ford Pinto

The Ford Pinto was dangerous. If this car was rear ended, then it would catch on fire. If only Ford had spent a couple more dollars, then these cars would not have caught on fire. 

5.Chevy Vega

This car was one of GM's earlier attempts to stick their heads into the fuel efficient car market. This car was terribly unreliable. One of the reported issues is that it loved to rust. Parts of the body weren't primered, but it's not like the primer worked. Mechanical problems included excessive engine shaking, oil leaks, and overheating. This car is another domestic failure.
