Never heard of Matt Hardigree but I found plenty of reason to suspect his judgement well before geting to #3

Re: 10 Biggest Automotive Turkeys of All Time
I added a comment of my own .... it has yet to appear, but the essence of my comment is that the absence of the Edsel is striking as is the presence of several non-turkeys on a list only 10 deep ... ergo, the judgement of the author is, IMO, suspect ...

A turkey?

"Look, you guys are getting it wrong. The Aztek, for example, is not a turkey, it's just awful. A turkey is a car that's cool or innovative but didn't sell, whether due to taste or timing or cost. The Bertone Volvo is awesome, but no one simultaneously wants a car like it and is a Volvo customer. The SSR was too expensive for most of the market it appealed to. The Insight got incredible mileage but only sat two and apparently was low-volume from the start. See what I mean?"
Sounds like a Crossfire to me.

Re: 10 Biggest Automotive Turkeys of All Time
I agree with the Honda Insight as being a turkey. It looks like a turkey on wheels. Check out the rear wheel wells. They look like turkey legs. 
As far as the xfire on his list, obviously he never drove one. And as far as the styling, his taste is all in his mouth. The Crossfire is the automotive world's best kept secret.

Had a 72 Vega GT, 110 HP. My first four speed. I could get a chirp in second gear. This was the car that gave me the life long love of speed. I thought it looked good for the time. This one looks exactly like the one I had.

Re: 10 Biggest Automotive Turkeys of All Time
add any type of actual styling to a car and the so called car experts call it blan ugly or what have you.for example like the crossfire a monte carlo has always had specfic styling down the side of the car but now all these so called auto experts want to praise is cookie cutter over rated jap crap.

Re: 10 Biggest Automotive Turkeys of All Time
Lol i kind of like his list, because i'd love to own most of the cars. 9,8,6,3,1 are all cars i've admired over the years. I'm perfectly fine driving my turkey, and even my neighbors have come over to let me know how much they like it.
