It doesn't get simpler than that folks.

It varied greatly...in 1997, the last model year, only sold a few thousand. In it's hayday in early 1993 (for that model year), it was fairly sucessful. I have no actual numbers however.

I really am not sure who to vote for. I do however think that it's blasphemy that Volkswagen and Audi are on this list at all. Hands down they have the best, most fluid, strong designs in the industry. Sure, they've ended up all looking pretty much the same, but there isn't a single ugly one among their lineups.

However, I'm kind of undecided on any of the others for worst design...

Honda/Acura is pretty bland and inoffensive. That's not bad design, it's just boring.

Of the GM divisions, at least what new stuff they've been coming out with, Saturn has been pretty bad. Ion, Vue, and the redesigned L-Series all look like crap. The other divisions are doing pretty well.

It's very tempting to vote for Toyota, but they do such blatant rip-offs that they're not bad design, but they'll piss you off.

Ford and Chrysler are both on rolls, imo. Mustang GT, Futura, Five Hundred, Magnum, Pacifica, Crossfire. Hell, the Tomahawk's the coolest bike I've seen ever.

Hyundai/Kia are both mixed bags. Sorento and Sedona look great. Opirus/Avanti and XG350 could do better.

I'd go more in depth, but I know folks are getting bored. I'll just vote for Saturn.
