As we approach the end of the decade, it's time to look back. To start, say hello to Bad: Unless you hate yourself, hate your money, or simply enjoy life too much, here's ten cars you shouldn't be driving.

In building this list — the first of what we're calling Jalopnik's "Best10" week — we considered a host of factors. A car couldn't just be bad, nor could it simply be a sales flop. It had to be horrible to drive, yes, but it also had to have failed at its appointed task. Depreciation was considered. There was much gray area. We conferred amongst ourselves, consulted our readers, and racked our brains. Take a look, but be warned — some of this stuff ain't pretty.
