TTAC accepting "Ten Worst Automobiles Today" submissions
We're getting to that time of the year where every publication on the face of the earth is declaring their car, truck, SUV, hybrid, and unicycle of the year. MotorTrend has already found the CX9 so exciting that the venerable tree killer is ready to throw a trophy Mazda's way. Then there are the lists... the 10 best lists that features the same vehicles every year.
The Truth About Cars is making another list, but they're taking a different spin on the top-ten list de jour. They want you to tell them what you think are the ten worst cars on the road for sale in the US. The Ten Worst Automobiles Today awards, or TWAT, takes the worst of the worst seriously. The all new 2008 Accord and CTS are probably safe, but something tells us the Chrysler Aspen may make its way back into the bottom 10. The TTAC writing team will take the 20 best nominations, and unleash them on their readership to vote on the final 10. Submissions for the TWAT list will be accepted through October 22, and the top 20 survey will hit the web on the 29th. For more rules, or to make a submission, click on the 'Read' link below.

Be careful what you say, lest they put you on suicide watch.

There really aren't a lot of truly bad cars made any more but a couple that spring immediately to mind include:
1) Dodge Caliber - reeks of cheap.
2) Jeep Compass - see Dodge Caliber
3) Land Rover Range Rover - $90k price tag + the worst reliability in the industry = J.U.N.K.
4) Volkswagen Jetta - This is bad because the cool design suckers many into buying one of the most unreliable vehicles made.
5) Chevy Aveo - In the cheap car segment, this has to be the worst.

That's only five.
So up for your consideration is the Escalade.

TTAC is what happens when narcissistic people who are infatuated with their own thoughts have a blog on subjects they are not qualified to discuss

Farago and the TTAC site are like hemorrhoids...They just keep on irritating you, and you can do very little about them.

There are lots of cars I don't like (bloated SUVS, most Chryslers,Nissans,Fords, Smart, etc...)
But the one I would want on the list is the new Subaru Impreza. Because if they didn't mess it up so bad, I might have considered buying one. They deserve an award for taking a decent car and making it worse (and much uglier).

I think its hilarious how many here are so afraid of intellectual, intelligent discussion about cars that they actually feel threatened enough by TTAC to retreat back to juvenile insults.

I bet itll all be trucks and suvs because theyre evil, lets bash the Ford F150 because big vehicles support terrorism and so forth.......

People are not afraid. People realize how big of a joke Farago and Friends really are.
You disagree with Farago or have any negative comment about anything Import and you are immediately put on the blocked list.
I posted on there once about how ugly the Civic Si's dash was and the next day I couldn't get back in. What a joke.

All the while Toyota's big trucks are saving the world because they rest under the prius tree

Though if it's a fair list it might make a good read, I'm just all frazzled by people telling me my jeep is evil and i should be shot for supporting osama and such (Ive actually heard these things)

Don't be frazzeled/upset when people make accusations about gas guzzlers making Osama a 'worser' terrorist. Buying foriegn oil did put $ in his pocket; but he could have used the money to support, say ... cancer research.

I agree Shawn, TTACs writers are a bunch of bias, narcissistic jackasses. Autoblog, you really shouldn't even give them the time of day.

Agree with Paul34 - don't criticize those that choose to use their brain. That is why one of TTAC's best features is that they wouldn't have Sam, TheOtherBob, Shawn and Schmeltz as members.
