These Are Your Least Favorite Cars on Sale Today

Current least favourite? The Toyota BzX4 B4Zx BxZ4… whatever Toyota’s EV is called.

And it’s entirely because of the name. It’s completely dumb. They maybe could have reused the name of the Solara, and it would fit the EV better. Instead, they threw darts at a keyboard and came up with a name every owner is going to need to repeat the name 7 times every time they’re asked what it is.

I get it Toyota. You’re hurt that hydrogen didn’t take off, and don’t want to build an EV because it would be an admission you may have misjudged the market. So you actively made it an unpleasant car. It’s got an indecipherable name, it’s ugly, it’s doesn’t have competitive range, or performance to speak of, and it arrives at a premium price. It’s basically the $15,000 Craigslist ad for non-running Pinto. “See??? It didn’t sell! Now can we please just get congress in our favour over hydrogen and stop all EV incentives?”

I’ve heard this car’s twin, the Subaru Solterra, describe as “one of the cars of all time.” This doesn’t bode well for the bZ4x, and that’s before you even take the dumb name into account.

Mercedes AMG G-Wagen. It only exists to be the most obviously expensive Mercedes on the market and the only people who buy them do it to show off that they are rich (or pretending to be)

Do I understand the hate? Yes. Are you wrong? Also yes. The G-Wagen is awesome.

The Ford EcoSport. If someone offered me one for free, I would prefer to continue paying for my Audi. Too small to provide any utility, but simultaneously providing middling fuel economy. Garbage.

My sister really wants an EcoSport, and she knows less than nothing about cars. That should be all you need to know about Ford’s smallest crossover.

Mitsubishi Mirage. New for $15k sounds enticing. But if you love yourself and family, buy a used $15k car.

This right here is the issue with our current car market. All the good used cars are well over $15,000 now. On top of that, you don’t get a new-car warranty when you’re buying used. That fact alone is a big checkmark in favor of the Mirage.

I’m sure it’s an okay car but the image and people who drive them make me nervous as most of them drive erratically on the road.

Word to the wise: never drive a car that is also a meme.

A vehicle designed with the singular purpose of fleecing folks who think they’re buying a Bronco

Stop thinking as the Bronco Sport as a lesser Bronco, and start thinking of it as a better, more capable and cooler Escape. You’ll sleep better at night

Mazda MX-30, because who wouldn’t be excited to pay $38,000 for a slow crossover with no space, no AWD, and 70 miles of range?

Only a handful of people have actually bought MX-30s this year, so the good news is that you probably won’t have to worry about seeing one.

Huge pickups that will never have anything in the bed. The dudes who buy these are insecure people who are overcompensating by trying to buy their perception of masculinity. Why does it bother me? Because they also drive like 14-year-old bullies who were thrown a set of keys by their drunk old-man. But hey, maybe they just buy them because the flat back window gives them a place to display their collection of fascist/nationalistic decals which include Brandon, Punisher, boot-licker flag, and insane crap like this

The real unfortunate thing about big pickup trucks is that they’re actually a lot of fun. I really wish this wasn’t the case. Every time I’m in one I cannot help but laugh. They’re so silly, so huge, and so lovable.

1) Been on sale forever—looks getting long in the tooth.

2) Musk’s whole jerk persona—too many incidences of racism at his factories that I do believe are not getting the attention they deserve for what type of atmosphere they create in those work environments. Musk’s constant grandstanding—the whole Twitter fiasco that he’s trying to weasel out of—such a “great” guy. Like I’d pop my money to make this guy even richer. Yuck-yuck.

3) But especially due to Autopilot: it’s not ready for primetime by a country mile and yet Tesla/Musk keep claiming it is in such a willfully blind shouting manner. You ever watch Air Disasters with their eps for how real-deal autopilot caused problems for which the pilots could not out-think the autopilot and keep the jets from crashing? Scary shit, folks. And that’s with cubic miles of empty air around the aircraft and they still have problems. Now here are Tesla cars “Autopiloting” mere feet from possible obstructions that the sensors/software can easily not handle correctly. Boom! Crash City or another kid run over since the idiot driver is playing Angry Birds.

And yet these Autopilot-equipped cars are actually allowed on civilian roads. Talk about a giant mistake....

I cannot wait to die under the wheel of a Model S as the driver records his Autopilot journey to post on YouTube. It’s gonna be so sick.

The new Hummer. It’s too big, it’s ugly, it mocks the whole idea of EVs and the jackass who passes me in one at 100 mph every morning thinks he’s immune to the laws of physics.

I’ve got pretty much the same opinion here as I do with the Tesla Model S from the last slide, but instead of Autopilot, I’m run over because the driver cannot see me over the hood.

The new Chevy Blazer. It’s not an awful car by any means but it’s what it SHOULD have been that makes me angry

The K5 Blazer has a long storied history as an offroad competitor to the Jeep Wrangler & the “’Global” Colorado had just been released shortly before news broke that the “Blazer” name was being revived

Not only did GM have this new Colorado that they were bringing stateside but they also sold a BOF SUV version called the Holden 7 / Holden Trailblazer... & this seemed like the perfect fit for the new “Blazer” name. A small Offroad focused BOF SUV to compete with the 4runner, the Wrangler & the then rumored Bronco

GM has nothing in this niche & Ford was also testing the Ranger-based Everest SUV stateside so this seemed like a winning combination... instead of filling this niche we got ANOTHER crossover & this one is basically a sporty Equinox... a far cry from what it could have been

I honestly respect Chevrolet for looking at the success of every other off-road SUV on the market and saying to themselves “nah we’re good actually.”

Hasn’t changed substantially since 1977. Was never great to start with. Zero of 4 start Russian safety rating, and that is saying something. Perfect for poor Russian farmers and nobody else.

Boo this person! The Niva is cool because it’s junk. We need more junk.

Would a Polaris Slingshot count? I fucking despise those things. I swear, those things are given as awards to the biggest douchebags at the cock punching factory. Slingshot owners make Brodozer’s look like sophisticated and courteous drivers. All crappy accessories from the Pep Boy’s catalog have gone to decorating Slingshots. These are the same guys that go to the local Applebee’s asking to see if the MMA PPV is playing for free(like hell they’re gonna pay a cover) while decked out in their finest Ed Hardy/Tapout (see physical assault) attire, while accusing all the dudes at the bar of ogling his “old lady.” Polaris Slingshot, “When you want to show the world you kinda made it.” And to those of you Slingshot owners that are courteous, I’m sorry. I will now go point on the doll where the Slingshot hurt me.

The Slingshot absolutely counts. It’s overpriced, shouty junk.

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport - it’s been the same bones for over a decade (no matter what new grille they put on it), there’s nothing sporty about it, it’s cheaply made (down to fake side vents), there are much better options in the used car market, and (frankly) I see too many of them in my area.

Mitsubishi currently makes three different versions of the Outlander (Sport, PHEV and just Outlander). All three of them seem to be wholly unrelated to each other. I don’t know what Mitsubishi is really doing, but it’s fun to watch.

Nissan Rogue, it’s THE ne plus ultra of “car as appliance”. No one driving a Rogue actually enjoys the experience of driving, and it shows: other than Subaru’s Outback/Forester crowd, I’m convinced there are no more oblivious left-lane hogs on Earth than Rogue drivers. Don’t get me wrong, all of Nissan’s CUVs blow, but at least Murano drivers can say they wanted something with a pretension to comfort, and Juke drivers can plead mental illness, but Rogue drivers are among the most insipid people alive.

When I was a child I loved the Nissan Rogue. It was mostly because of the product placement in the TV show “Heroes,” and goddamn did it work. Now, I’ve sadly grown up.

I’d do an entire car company, but I want to at least have an opinion worth mentioning.

The Subaru Legacy has been disappointing me for years, typically because of the CVT, but also how it just seems to hit or just seems to miss in literally anything. It could be better interior wise, it could be powered better...... When they unveiled the current one, I just felt ashamed to have even liked a Subaru in the first place. It tries to be a Volvo pretty hard to me, but people who want something like a Volvo, buy a Volvo. It’s looks are about the only thing it has going for me currently.

It’s time we make Subaru weird again! It’s what the world needs. It’s what I need.
