Number 36 on this list is the Iron duke 4 cylinder camaro. Im hard pressed to not agree with them on this.

Your title is a bit misleading. Yes, I'd have to agree that a 4 cylinder Camaro is not only offensive to the Camaro heritage, but was awefully underpowered; therefore, their placement of the car into the list seems somewhat fitting.

Reading that article was probably the biggest waste of my time today. The author is expressing personal opinions based on his own perceptions of vehicles while trying to be humorous. He lists the very first production line car as the #1 worst car, the 1909 Ford Model T... It's what started it all. Other cars that have no place on that list, Ford Explorer, Bricklin, Jag, MG TR7, Elite (6 time winner at 24 hours of Lemans) There's a few more. I didn't get it....

there were quite a few vehicles on the list that belonged there but the list should be renamed "15 to 20 Of The Worst Vehicles Ever Made and 35 to 30 Interesting Ones."

I actually had the misfortune to test drive one of the 4 cyl cars when they were new. It was so slow it was dangerous. The 2.8 V-6 was bad, but could at least move at a reasonable pace. I agree with their assessment . If they had said the 5.7 was one of the worst cars ever, I'd argue!

Interesting article, good find. I see Corvette, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, and Ferrari also made the list - I saw the Chevette, did I miss the Vega?

The gremlin was a very popular vehicle, as was the Pacer. I'm surprised he didn't mention the Citation, or the Matador or any Cadillac with the 4100 (4.1) engine...The all aluminum block and heads that used roll on gasket material. The Pinto was a terrific car, Ford sold tons of them for years. I didn't read what his criteria for being a bad car was. I assumed that those cars didn't stop for him at a crosswalk or something.

Time also said Hitler was man of the year in 1936 or some thing.
