that list was compiled by someone that knows absolutely nothing about cars. My reasons for thinking this-

1. A few of those cars were great cars.
2. The mustang II wasn't on there.
3. Every single one wasn't an early mitsubishi.

that doesnt make it a bad car though. If you aren't mentally challenged or 90,000 years old i-drive is not that complicated, everyone makes such a big deal out of it.

Ill agree on the 04 SSR being underpowered but I wouldnt say its one of the worst 50 cars ever. IMO it looks badass and has some awesome lines. Yes the 03 and 04 were underpowerd but the 05 and 06 were hyped up quite a bit with the LS2's. My dads 06 is a really fun car to drive. Id trade my cobalt for one in a heartbeat. Never had any issues, gotta love the torque and the 6 spd is pretty nice. I dont know much about the other cars on that list but the SSR shouldnt be seen on any worst car ever list.

This guy is a f'n hippy! He has some good points, mainly the ASStec. I think this guy just said hey maybe I can make a list and call the ford model t the worst car of all times because it had so much success and have to many cars in the world. Sorry I just felt allot of the cars in there he had a point but also there were allot cars that were very successful but they weren't what he liked. I don't know were I am going with this. end of rant!

I think the 7-series is on the list because 2002 was the first year the new body style (Chris Bangle's design) came out. Our family got one of the first 745i's to hit any of the local dealerships and the thing had a bunch of electrical problems, and when I did some research online I found out that it was a common occurrence with those cars. Got rid of the car for a MB S-class within like 8 months.

ouch...It's one guy's opinion, and it wasn't always the cars themselves that got them on the list, sometimes it was the timing, political or economic conditions, or (in the case of the Expedition and H2) the blatant conspicuous consumption of the machine.

cause there garbage,lol.I hate working on those cars.So many electrical problems its not even funny.Thats why bmw extended the warranty on that model to 100,000 miles.Bmw electical problems are such a pain in the ass to diagnose.Everything works in a loop,so if one thing fails,alot of moduals in the car go down.The newer 7 series are no different.There the worst cars bmw ever made.The interiors are so cheap also.The panels start peeling the first time you drive the car.I wouldnt take a 7 series if u paid me.
