The vehicles we'll be taking a pass on
1 of 29
With another year coming to an end, it's time to look back and reflect on the crop of cars we had the opportunity to get into the driver's seat and put through the paces. While many of us at MSN Autos agree that most of the vehicles launched in the last year were all of a decent variety, there are some that bucked the trend.
The cars on this list, as selected by our writers, represent a detour in the ultimate road to progress. Whether for hideous styling, mechanical ineptness or just plain awfulness, these vehicles truly stood out as being terrible. Find out which cars topped MSN Autos' list of the worst vehicles of the year and what made them such stinkers by watching the slideshow.
