No one mentioned a Maverick or Fairmont? The 4 cyl/auto Citation fell apart around you has you drove it, like that mopar Omni/Horizon, which set out to be a domestic "lowest cost of production" champ, and it proudly (?) reflected that. The early Chevy IIs with the two speed automatic were worse than the Vega in that regard and in handling.

There are lots of contenders between crappy by design, horrible build quality, and that bonanza of both at once.

V8 Vegas? What's not to like about that power to weight and adaptability of old Detroit powertrains? Did anyone try a 9" Ford rear end with those?
