What Car Is So Bad It’s Cool?

There comes a point when all the faults and ugliness come together to make something endearing.

There's an incredible number of bad cars out there. While it's getting harder and harder to buy a brand new car that isn't at least mediocre, the roads are still littered with things like the '99 Regal, which was never cool and probably never will be. But what car is so bad that it's become cool over time?

The Chrysler PT Cruiser convertible is a light-truck with its roof chopped off. Literally chopped off. Poorly. The top is never completely hidden and then you've got that sweet basket handle in the middle. With the top up there's no visibility. It's not great to drive, and it's ungainly. It's completely impractical and terribly unreliable. We think we're in love.
