Autotopia: Autos To Throw Down a Black Hole | Autopia | Wired.com

5 Auto Atrocities To Throw Down a Black Hole | Autopia | Wired.com: "There are no shortage of automotive abominations that should be cast into a black hole with narration from Rod Serling. We’ll begin with three obvious candidates: the Pontiac Aztek, the Hummer H2 and the Renault Dauphine. They will be spared.

Why? Because as horrible as these “cars” are, they are too horrible to be destroyed. Nature abhors a vacuum, so if we destroy something so hideous as the Aztek, so garish as the H2 or so unreliable as the Dauphine, something will replace them. We simply cannot fathom the hellish creations that might spring forth to take their places, so we shall spare those cars for the sake of the planet.

We drew up a list of cars that should be wiped from the pages of automotive history. Feel free to set us straight or make any additions — just know that whatever goes in will never come out."

Here is the beginning of my post. And here is the rest of it.

Funny the cars they left out. I would have included the monster finned Caddy, Mercedes Hummer-like tank, the Yugo, the six figure Rolls, the Corvair, ... funny think, I can not think of a Japanese car to include?
