I like it.

There isn't a good line to be found on either car anywhere.
I'd take tgat AMC anyday, you wouldn't even have to force me!

Harping on a Lincoln Mk III having a 3 speed C-6 auto and not having a 4, 5 or 6 speed automatic isn't entertaining when the Brit car from the same era had the Borg Warner 35. Comparing a Lincoln Mk III and Buick Lesabre to whatever modern car Stig was driving wasn't entertaining. And I must qualify this by saying I tuned in at the middle and didn't see the whole episode.
Mind you, the Viet Nam episode is one of the funniest things I've ever watched on TV.

FTFY
Another thing that irritates me about those cars are the wheels. If you are a tire changing monkey like I am, you know how annoying those stupid wheels are when it comes to balancing.

I will not disagree with that.
Hell, I enjoyed seeing those big ol' brutes getting pushed around. I'd love to have that lesabre.

i have access to an extremely solid 75,000 mile 87 Celebrity- not the VR, but its solid- and my current daily driver is an '01 GTP 4 door that is rotting out from the bottom up but has a rock solid drivetrain in it.. i've had thoughts...
Even if they got this wrong, they are still SO right on their choice for Worst Car Ever Made:
Come on guys, the whole show is a joke, nothing is meant to be taken seriously, especially in that episode. Also as cars go that LexASS really really is a god awful ugly pile of steaming dog diarrhea. My almost BIL traded his SL Merc for a new one years ago, it really is a vial vehicle to be in the vicinity of.

I understand the sentiment and they do love to take the piss, it was unispired, but I have a soft spot as one saved my fathers life when I was a kid.

Do it. Post a build log here.
They really chose an SC430 over an Aztek?
I think they've got a feud with Lexus in that case. The Aztek is, BAR NONE, the ugliest car I've ever seen.

That's on my list to own as a DD. That colour, even! Just needs to be a touch lower, and have black wheels. Cheap, big, and controversial . . . what's not to love.
The "Aztec" is the low-hangng fruit of car jokes, like the Pinto, the Gremlin, the Pacer, the Yugo . . . cars we all now really seem to like.
Yes, but the Aztec is actually useful and works as a crossover SUV. That Lexus is not sporty enough to be a sportscar, nor is it comfy enough to be a luxury convertible. It is merely the automotive equivalent of a fake tan.

With the understanding that the entire show was in jest, it was about "the worlds worst car", not the ugliest.
Also remember the qualities included: A company that should have known better. Lexus, yes, Pontiac, not so much. At least the Aztec was cheap. And somewhat useful. Even if looking at it made you want to gouge out your eyes with a rusty grapefruit spoon.
