Porsche 914
The 914 has gone down in history as one of the worst vehicles ever made by the German automaker. This budget-friendly mid-engine sports car was developed by Porsche and Volkswagen to serve as the entry-level Porsche. It went on sale in 1969 and was discontinued just 7 years later. Despite its quirky exterior design and a Targa roof, the 914 failed to sell. The sports car was awfully underpowered, its boxer engine barely made 100 horsepower! While the 914 was agile at tight turns, its terrible acceleration was far from appealing. The 914 has gone down in history as one of the worst vehicles ever made by the German automaker.

So apparently if we fix the power complaint, it's not an issue anymore...how many of us have already fixed that problem?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
