The 1967 Renault 10
With its air conditioning and rear engine, the French Renault 10 was wildly popular in America in the 1960s, but the 1967 model was viewed as a failure for its problems with braking and handling. In The Enthusiast Network’s review of the 1967 Renault 10, it said, “One serious fault we found is its sensitivity to the wind. Even playing with the tire pressures did nothing to improve its instability.” In 1971, the production of the model was ended.

The Mercedes CLA
Given the hefty price tag of a Mercedes Benz, you’d probably expect it to be quite high-quality. The CLA is more budget-friendly but it doesn’t have the famous Mercedes quality. This is what Consumer Reports had to say when it reviewed the CLA for the first time: “This coupe-ish sedan is certainly intriguing, but it begs the question whether a lower-cost car that dials back traditional Mercedes qualities will dilute this esteemed brand.” Since the debut of the CLA, it has made the “worst of” list of the publication almost every year. However, the car did open a new market for Mercedes-Benz.
