The SV1 was a complete turd, wasn't it? When you get up close it's amazing just how bad the fiberglass is. We can 'thank' Malcolm Bricklin for another craptastic car: the Subaru 360. If you get close to one, you wonder how Subaru ever survived in the States.(readies self for another barrage)
Styling that no one could love combined with a popcorn popper two stroke twin. Its only redeeeming factor was 66 mpg.
The Cadillac Cimarron is too easy. No point in picking the low hanging fruit.

Let's not forget the Vespa 400. Two cylinder two stroke motor, seating for four, sorta. On a up side, they'll fit in the back of an F-250 with a 8' box:
Sometimes crappy cars have their charm. I drive a Herald 1/2 the time in the summer and 1/3 of the time in the winter. The hamster breathesque heater leaves alot to be desired in late December when it's 10 below.
I will donate the VW Santana. Horrible just horrible.
I will also second the Tempo contribution
I will add the citation

I honestly have issue with the Granada. We had one and it was a great running car. Not the best in the performance category but good gas mileage and started every time.
In reply to FlightService:
Was it the Fox based Granada ('81-2) or the other one? I won't bag on any of the Fox platform cars. Depending on the power plant they were pretty good overall.
What was so bad about the eagle medallion? I talked to someone who had several and he said they were boring, but reliable and got 30+ mpg

This was the old 78 Granda, red on red vinyl interior.
I think it was a 200 I6 but not sure. Started everytime, good little car. And would spin that one wheel pretty well.
I'm surprised that nobody has listed the Morris Marina yet!

Yup.
Anything made by Daewoo. Horrible E36 M3boxes, all of them. They made 80s GM cars look good.

They suck, but no. 04 Cavalier Ecotech vs 99-02 Daewoo anything is way in favor of the Daewoo.
That said, my Nubira is the only car I've ever seen that has a receding headliner.
