The Cadillac Fleetwood

We’re referring to the Cadillac Fleetwood which was manufactured between 1976 and 1996 but never really gained a more secure footing in the market. The car lasted for 20 years, but it had quite a bad reputation for jerking, stalling, and making awkward noises. Since 1935, Cadillac had used the name “Fleetwood” as a pre-fix and it described cars that had longer wheelbases than the Series 62 and DeVille models. In the final year of production of the Fleetwood (1996), Cadillac produced only 15,109 units, not even half of the production number in 1993.

The Ferrari Mondial 8

In 1980, Ferrari started producing the Mondial 8 and continued to do so for two years. In that time, a rumor went around that the system of every single model failed – that’s how bad the car’s reputation was. In 1983, it was replaced by the Mondial QV. When the Mondial 8 was released, it didn’t have the worst reviews initially and was actually called “respectable” and “impressive.” The truth only came out when the car had been on the road for roughly a year. According to Time Magazine, the Mondial 8 ranks eighth on the list of the worst cars of all-time.
