And the worst cars of 2005 are?
12/15/2005
Well, you don't need us to give you the full list from Forbes because most of them aren't even worth the time of day, like the Ford Ranger.
But two of the cars surprised us because we don't think either one is as bad as they are saying.
Not to say that they are great by any means but they should not be on the worst car list in our opinion.
Least Reliable: Infiniti QX
Base Price: $50,300
According to Consumer Reports, Infiniti's QX SUV is the least-reliable car on the market. It is 300% less reliable than the average car.
Worst Residual Value: Jaguar X-Type
Base Price: $32,995
According to the most recent data from the Kelley Blue Book Residual Value Guide, the X-Type is one of four 2006-model vehicles tied for second place on the list of cars with the lowest projected residual values.
If you didn't see they Spies choices for the worst cars of 2005, here they are again:
10. Buick Lucerne-Kissing your sister is a 'sizzling' experience compared to this exercise in boredom.
9. Jeep Cherokee- After seeing all those gorgeous groundbreaking concepts at the auto shows teasing us with their design expertise, HOW could they have decided on this, as the final design? The front end could be one of the worst in the business! Bring on the Nitro and BLOW this thing up!
8. Ford Five Hundred- Yuck! Let’s hope it only lasts 500 days on the market!
7. Mitsubishi Galant- The WORST car I’ve ever test driven…more flex than Suzanne Sommer's thigh-master
6. Chevy Impala- Back to the drawing board for the hundredth time! Could it have LESS personality? What an insult to previous proud Impala designs.
5. Cadillac XLR- Or should we call it the Allante II? This thing is deadsville in the marketplace. Looks like a door stop with dual nightlights on it!
4. Acura RL- Feels like the whole car's drive system has been shot with Novocaine. The most over priced car on the mainstream market.
3. Honda Ridgeline- With national leases already at $199 per month, this thing (maybe they should have called it, the Honda THING) is sinking fast! Thank GOD!
2. Hummer H3- The Hummer thing is just SOOOOO over. And we predict there is no comeback in sight. Even Steve Jobs couldn’t figure out how to bring this brand back! Sorry Liz...
1. Jeep Commander- Whatever over paid slacker at DCX green lighted this piece of trash, should be removed from his or her command! The only thing missing is the ‘Body designed by YUGO’ on the side panel.
