Automotive makers have been on the brink of bankruptcy several times in their history, and quite often their struggles result from the release of absolutely homely or catastrophically malfunctioning cars.
Be it the rolling powder keg that was the Ford Pinto or the smoldering waste of money that soon became the Triumph Stag, automotive makers have often made decisions to sell vehicles that make us all wonder what in the world they were thinking. Here's a list of the 20 most disastrous cars, and what about them made them terrible investments.

The Stag! Yes there were and are some engine issues, but these are easily cured by common sense.
Thats why, of the 25000 made, 9000 survive right now and are much loved by their owners.
A body to die for from Michelotti, 4 seats for an occasional foray to the pub with friends, a boot (trunk) that easily holds two medium sized bags, suspension like a BMW 3 series (in 1970), all make the Stag a great Grand Touring machine.
In England the Stag Owners Club is the biggest single marque owners club with more than 5000 members.
You can heap you’re mythical ire on it as much as you like, but the fact remains that its a great car, loved by thousands of current owners that had some problems that are easily sorted with a little corrosion inhibitor and sensible regular maintenance.

The same old trash, written by a moron who never even owned one of these cars. Just who is reading this load of old tripe!
