So terrible?

The usual suspects there. Most of these lists are written by people who've never driven most or any of the cars, based on third hand googled information by dullards who want us all to drive a late model Golf or 3 series BMW bought on finance.  

I think you can go to most news sites and there'll be a thumbnail somewhere on the page to take you to an article about the 'worst ever' cars, it's usually a re-hash of the same old same old. The poor old Allegro always makes the list.
At least this article is suggesting we shouldn't want them but do!
There are a couple of real turkeys amongst the 50 - although beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.
I'm blown away by the DeTomaso Pantera being on the list, they sell for ridiculous money, as for "poor headroom / pedals too close together" it's a Supercar, a recognised diagnostic criteria of Supercars (apart from being obscenely fast) is their inherent impracticality!

The fact that is says that the "Alfa 33 was no comparison to the Golf GTi" and had soggy handling tells me they know nothing or have never driven one (or other). Also 50 pages of click though, that tells me this is click bait designed to make you click to see if your favourite car is there whilst they farm off the advertising revenue. Nonsense.

I'd have any of them today.

Mostly not that inaccurate though, many of them were flawed.

The biggest point I'd disagree with though is the handling of the Monaro. I bought a 6 month old Monaro 6.0 VXR in 2007 and ran it daily for 3 and a half years and it was an amazingly good handling car for its size and relatively simplicity for a modern performance car. I think whoever wrote that just thinks oh it's a muscle car, it can't do bends, but anyone who has actually lived with one knows that it can!

"But the Mazda-based Probe proved to be disappointing, with stodgy looks and dull front-wheel-drive handling."

Funny that, the one I inherited handles really well (it's standard) and is far from dull.

Are MSN journalists scraped up from the bottom of the same barrel as Yahoo journalists then?
