Ford pinto should win this hands down. Not because of sales but because the shyt was a literal death trap and poorly built.

One suit ended in a family being awarded 127 million by a jury in the 1970s.

That tells you all you need to know about how much a death trap this car was.

That ain't even mentioning that dumb ass ford made the engine out of aluminum.

Yeah it was just a souped up version of the Caprice/Holden Commodore that's sold in Australia. Some U.S. police departments actually import and use these. It should have been the previous Impala, imo. Too old by the time it was released.

The Caprice is sold in Australia. The SS was a version of that car they attempted to sell here.




Yep. Another GM car based on the popular Holden Commodore in Australia. It would have sold well if it was released 5-10 years prior. It looked out of date when it hit the U.S. market.
Ss is on the g8 platform. The caprice is actually on a related but bigger platform.
The ss needed the newer lt engine and they just started offering a manual
