    Worst cars have to be anything that thinks it's a four wheel drive....

    ...but is actually an executive school bus.

    porsche cayenne
    VW toureg (?)
    bmw x5
    new volvo thing
    new range rover

    lets face it most are ugly, some 4 wheel drives (shogun, disco, landy, early range rover) can be forgiven ugliness - they have functionality. But there's no justifyable reason for any of the above cars (unless some one can prove me wrong)

    i actually really like the pt cruiser's style..

    either way, its not nessesarily a *bad* car, just an *ugly* car - i mean that new morgan is undeniably pig ugly (surely) yet its quite good overall by all accounts

    The rangie is actually quite a good bit of car.. it's got the hill descent system (very good) Hi-Lo gearbox, diff lock... nice suspension... it actually works properly, yeah you can take it down the shops or on the school run, but you can drive across a ploughed field on the way

    I would imagine it'd be quite good actually... VW are very close knit with BMW after all, and the V10 Diesel should be a stonking motor off-road... if it's bolted to the right gearbox of course...

    First time i hear about VW and BMW being closely linked. Where did that come from?

    Yes, they divided the Rolls/Bently brands between each other. And... um... thats it?
