Not much I disgaree with here, although the 7er should most certainly not be here and I'm questioning the Prowler's appearance on this list. Other than that, I haven't any qualms. Especially when it comes to the Chevy SSR.... which is just awful.

They can say what they want about the 7 series, but the Ford Excursion was a (10,000 POUNDS) MASTERPIECE!

That was the king of all SUV back in the day. Forget hummer...Forget the X5, that was the king of the Road.

Yes, it was Hell"a" bad with gas, but it stood out. Man I miss that truck.

:t-drive:

I knew 20 something people that had that car and they all loved it. Especially the V10 and the Diesel.

Oh well..guess that is their opinion. :t-hands:

but atleast we have...

and the....

Oh also....

The Munich company's flagship sedan was nothing less than everything the company knew about car building, and that was quite a lot. Perfectly constructed, astonishingly fast and utterly besotted with technology

And then iDrive and Bangle Butt (or "Bangle Bustle" like they call it) are enough to make it one of the worst cars of all time? :t-rot:
