Top 10 Automotive Turkeys
MSN Autos columnist Lawrence Ulrich talks turkey about the 10 worst cars in recent memory. 

With Thanksgiving approaching, I'd like to give thanks for the automotive feast that I've sampled over the year, including treats such as the Dodge Viper, Porsche 911 GT3, Volkswagen R32, and BMW 335i convertible.
But every year some cars should list cranberries and yams on the options menu. These are the turkeys—fat, feathered and ready for slaughter. Over the past 25 years, there have been some all-time fowls. We're talking cars with bloated styling, horrid performance and more than a hint of lemon.

Sure, even today's worst cars are miles better than the duds of two decades ago. But while the list could have been clogged like Ozzy Osbourne's shower drain with notorious 1980s junkers, that would've been too easy. Instead, I wanted to include the worst offenders of a more recent vintage.

So belly up to the table, and break out the antacid. Here are some ultimate automotive turkeys of the past 25 years

Jaguar X-Type (2001)
The Jaguar X-Type gave fans the worst of both worlds, a Jaguar with all the glitches, but none of the style or performance. Over its first year, I drove three versions that revealed the identical defect: a false trunk-ajar warning. In another, a chunk of door trim fell into my lap when I shut it. Throw in flabby handling, a mediocre V6 and plummeting sales, and it's no wonder that Jag has canceled the X-Type and given up on the entry-luxury segment.

Vêm logo com a teoria de que usa a plataforma do Ford Mondeo, que tem um aspecto algo retrógrado, que o diesel veio estragar o conceito da marca...etc, ect..
