The S-series debuted in 1990 with SL sedan level models in 1990 for the 1991 model year. -
2.
Now in 2006 they debuted the Saturn Sky. If you wanted to spend the money you could get the 2.0L Turbo version that puts out 260hp, but in 2010 following a withdrawal from Penske Automotive to buy them out, Saturn bit the dust. -
3.
This hideous thing is the AMC Eagle. Although nothing about it's looks could ever be salvaged, it was the only 4 wheel drive passenger car ever produced in America. And not All Wheel Drive dummies, I can see the comments now. -
4.
AMC used to make cool cars. Cars like the Javelin available with a 5.6L V8, but Chrysler Corporation was formed from the remains of AMC after Chrysler's 1987 buyout -
5.
I don't really know what to say about the Eagle Vision that can't be said about most cars of that early 90's era. They just looked terrible. -
6.
Now the Eagle Talon on the other hand, wasn't too bad. It was basically a Mitsubishi Eclipse, but you could get an AWD Turbo charged version that was pretty badass. That is until Eagle was discontinued in 1999. -
7.
God I hate these things... I don't even want to talk about it. It got terrible gas mileage, it was enormous and cumbersome, and if you owned one long enough, your dick would literally shrink and fall off, leaving you a Ken Doll like appearance except it would have a tiny little butthole like thing so you could still pee. -
8.
Yeah! There weren't even any good models! Luckily people eventually began to... I don't want to say get smarter, but figured out that it wasn't very efficient to drive around in a vehicle that got literally, Get this: 10 Mpg, but Hummer went the way of this lucky oversized Tahoe in 2010. -
9.
Blah Mercury Tracer. NEXT! -
10.
The 1967 Mercury Cougar. Not a bad car at all with the 338hp V8. Unfortunately Mercury started crappin out turds like the last one and the company was finally flushed back in 2011. Damn... I can't believe they hung on that long. -
11.
Again BLECH! The Oldsmobile 88. Absolutely nothing special here. Next car. -
12.
Ah the Olds 455 H.O. Now that is a muscle car. With a 400hp 455 Cubic Inch, High Output motor. This thing not only looked cool, but it was a beast. -
13.
And again! It's crap like this Plymouth Breeze that kills car companies! -
14.
A pretty sweet muscle car, the Plymouth Barracuda. With a 426 Cubic Inch Hemi motor, this thing cranked out 425hp. -
15.
Are we seeing the trend here? The Aztec wasn't the worst of Pontiac's abortions, Let's not forget the Trans Sport. It wasn't always this way for Pontiac. -
16.
The Pontiac GTO was the very first of the muscle car breed. In 1964 John DeLorean yes the same guy decided to put a 6.4L 325hp V8 into the body of a Tempest, Ford later released the V8 Mustang in response to the overwhelming popularity of the GTO packaged Tempest. Suck it Ford guys. -
17.
Eeeeeeewwwww! Saab was a terrible company. Yeah they had one or two cool cars after General Motors pretty much owned them and then promptly sold them off. -
18.
Speaking of cool the Saab Aero X. 2.8L Twin Turbo... 400 HORSEPOWER! But now the company is bankrupt. Did you know, Since 1949 every company that has owned Saab, has lost money, Totaling 28 billion? -
19.
I used to own one of these things and I hated it, but I loved the gas mileage 45cty50hwy. This crappy little car had a 3 cylinder 1L engine that barely put out 55hp. They eventually beefed it up to a.... OoOOoooh, a whopping 1.3L 4 cylinder engine that punishingly dealt out a massive 70hp. -
20.
So things never really got better for Geo. Take the Storm for instance. You think "yeah storm, I bet it's quick like lightning" in a raspy look at me I'm the cool guy voice at least that's what I do. This thing had a 1.6L 4 Cylinder that growled out a world ending 90hp. GM finally dropped the Geo badge in 1997.
